this makes me so existentially uncomfortable

It's my current read, and so far I'm enjoying it!

today's an awesome day to check out my friend's ✨nebula nominated✨ book! and if you're a SFWA member, pls keep it in mind when you vote for the nebulas. #boosky #kidlit books2read.com/u/31pp16 kamielke.itch.io/goblin-girl

This sweet, innocent fairy tale is the kind of book HR 7661 is looking to label as obscene with the P25 stated goal of my "imprisonment". We will *never* stop fighting for our stories. Or our freedom to share them. We can be brave and we can do it together.

can't believe what Fox McCloud being in Mario Galaxy is doing to my brain. I'm this close to becoming someone who Theorizes based on trailers (there's no way we're getting a little Star Fox Adventures with the Odyssey t. rex... unless?) and literally no one in my life gives a shit about Star Fox!!

I burned my tongue pretty bad yesterday

It’s happening! VALENZIAGA will fall. Category is: Science-Fantasy EXTRAVAGANZA! Think Drag Race + a gay Game of Thrones + Chronicles of Amber. High drama and high CAMP! Quick! Spread the word! RT, tell your friends! KICKSTARTER ENDING SOON!! #booksky www.kickstarter.com/projects/tri...

love* when I'm working on a new draft and I write something totally new and unique and funny and oh wait I already wrote that in the first draft five years ago, it's just further down the page 🥲 *annoyed

in which we see firsthand how unathletic Finn the reincarnated Hero really is, and where his priorities lie (staring at his crush) #WIPSnips #WriteSky #WritingPrompts #LGBTBooks

in which an air-dinghy takes our heroes to an airship, and maybe trees don’t belong in the air, actually Goblin Girl is a Nebula Award finalist and available HERE: kamielke.itch.io/goblin-girl #WritingCommunity #BookSky #MG #Fantasy #WIPSnips #LGBTBooks

here's a brand spanking new snippet from my actual WIP because I thought it was pretty funny my favourite scenes in this book are all Finn's previous incarnations ragging on him for being a loser #WritingCommunity #WriteSky #CanLit #LGBTBooks

the girl guides in the UK just kicked out all their trans members specifically bc they were threatened with a lawsuit from a rowling-funded group

somehow both hilarious and correct

today is THE KEEPER OF LONELY SPIRITS's first birthday, so I'm running a giveaway of annotated hardcover! to enter: - follow me - share this post - bonus entry: tag a friend closes March 31 at 5p.m. EST, open internationally to anywhere that can receive USPS packages

can't believe I'm excited for the Mario movie now, what a massive L for me

now that I have the same number of #NaddPod fanfics as I do #NebulaAwards nominations (1) I vow to write a new NaddPod fic for every award I'm nominated for (or win, Pharashtu willing), forever equal, does that do anything for SFWA voters

in which everyone is cranky and freshly traumatized and stealing disguises (not pictured: the beginning of a book-long gag in which Leaf tries on different hats—if you want to see THAT, Goblin Girl is a Nebula Award nominee and available HERE: books2read.com/u/31pp16) #LGBTBooks #BookSky

in which a princess reveals her secret and that means everyone’s a prisoner now Goblin Girl is a Nebula finalist and available HERE: books2read.com/u/31pp16 #WIPSnips #WritingCommunity #WriteSky #BookSky #LGBTBooks

Goblin Girl is officially up on the SFWA/Nebulas website, does that make it real yet? when does the shock wear off nebulas.sfwa.org/nominated-wo...

Adam Baldwin was literally *the* guy who named GamerGate and made it go viral. It was just some loser 4chan/incel YouTuber shit before then. They spammed him to get his attention because they knew he’s also a psycho loser and they wanted to make it go viral, and he did it. And it worked.

in which not all monsters are as they appear (and my clear affinity for Ultros from FF6 is revealed) Goblin Girl is a Nebula Award finalist that you can buy HERE: books2read.com/u/31pp16 #WIPSnips #WritingCommunity #WriteSky #BookSky #KidLit #LGBTBooks

I’m not only a Nebula-nominated MG fantasy writer, I also write novella-length YA about anxiety, depression, being poor, and having huge embarrassing crushes that could leave you feeling SEEN lorimer.ca/childrens/pr... #WriteSky #BookSky #WritingCommunity #QueerYA

Had a great chat with Tales From the Bridge where we discussed my new book as well as some of my other work. We also talked about movies, Lego, and how my background influences what I write. To listen, click the link: rb.gy/u7bslg

this is old but I'm gonna answer it anyway the entire plot of my 2nd mg book revolves around (spoilers) defeating a big bad who is secretly the mc's dad (he eats children's souls now) thematically it's about who deserves redemption (more spoilers: alcoholic absentee dad doesn't) #KidLitChat

in which Edwin is Bumbling, and Gertrude must Think Fast (cheating because this is not a WIP and is instead Goblin Girl Nebula promo, I’m gonna be doing that a lot) this scene didn’t exist until @lisapara.bsky.social told me this chapter was boring #WriteSky #WritingPrompts #WritingCommunity

not to get greedy but Goblin Girl is also eligible for the Aurora Award this year if any CSFFA voters are into goblins or airships or giant monsters or obvious Final Fantasy influences #BookSky #WritingCommunity

THE LORD OF THE WOOD is a queer cozy horror about a 43yo autistic guy who has a gay/lowkey monsterfucker awakening after getting lost in an enchanted forest, releasing 7/21 if you want the real pitch and more info, check out my website! #WeeknightWriters www.elizmanderson.com/the-lord-of-...
