PRO TIP

I know no one cares 😂 but I’ll quit neglecting this app soon! I don’t know how y’all keep up with so many…

Hell is empty, And all the devils are here.

Hands down, the best miniseries of all time.

I so often have my publisher/editor hat on, that I forget how much time & energy is put into writing a well-crafted novel until I’m writing one again. It really makes me appreciate all the writers I know. To all of you out there doing the thing—you’re amazing. Don’t let the world tell you otherwise🖤

Now reading 💜✨ First book of the year! @quillandcrowpublishinghouse.com

Forever 2 & 1 ☕️🔪

Real talk: what do y’all think of dual perspectives in a novel? (And I mean split properly by chapters, I’m not a monster 😂)

Protip for those who need it right now 🩷

Lies I tell myself 😂

Though I have an MLIS and ended up a publisher instead, I’m still passionate about the fact that everyone has the right to receive information. I panic often when I think of how many people rely on social media for info and how filtered it is according to politics and the opinions of billionaires.

Good morning, friends, and happy Friday!

This fucking movie 😂😭

There a few things I love more than popcorn.

That canceled TV show you’ll never stop thinking about 😭

I had really high hopes for Threads and it became Twitter-esque in a few months. I don’t think there’s a solution. Apps get toxic because people are toxic. I just bounce around from different apps hoping I miss the bullshit 😅

I really don’t want to call them “skeets” 😅🤣

💥

For my mental health, I’ve intentionally stepped back this year from the retail frenzy that hits me each holiday season, but I still gotta pay my bills 😅 so I’d really love if you’d consider picking up some books & candles from TheCrowShoppe.com as a lil treat or for holiday gifts. Thank you 🖤

How do folks really feel about starter packs? I made one to be helpful, but now I’m seeing it’s just another way for the “writing community” to continue being cliquey and exclusive (Twitter Circles vibes). I don’t want to give off that impression…

Hi, new followers! I still haven’t got the hang of this app yet but I’m happy you’re all here. I write, run a publishing house, and love weird, spooky shit. Welcome! 🖤🦇

How are olives both delicious and disgusting at the same time? 🤣

I feel like we need more historical fiction. I understand folks don’t want to read actual history books & it’s getting harder to find reliable resources on the Internet. I worry our history is getting lost in all the noise, & understanding (and not repeating) history is key to our evolution.

I don't do this a lot, but BLOCK THIS MAN. Block this man IMMEDIATELY. He is a long time known predator in the #WritingCommunity on Twitter. He does his stupid "boost" posts on women without consent and then gets creepy as fuck like they "owe" him, including a few minors. Block, spread the word.
