I just ordered a desktop computer with dual monitors for easier editing, which I’ve been wanting for YEARS 😭

I keep forgetting about this app and using the cursed one. I forgot how good this one is, actually.

Not people in our government actively promoting genocide in America now. They’re not even trying to hide it anymore.

I love exciting emails 😌

manifesting circle: 🕯 🕯 🕯 🕯 Get a book deal 🕯 in 2025 🕯 ✨✨✨ 🕯 🕯️ 🕯 🕯

My face when I have a great book idea, but then I have to actually write it

IT HAS TO STOP

trump: "democrats are weak, they're pathetic, they are like sick dogs to me. not people! they are not people!!!" democrats: *silently holding a tiny sign that says "not true" like daffy duck*

Packing my books up to move in a couple of weeks, and I have 4 boxes of JUST my YA books

My face when I have a great book idea, but then I have to actually write it

Trump and Vance are disgusting, embarrassing bullies

Almost done with BRIDE by Ali Hazelwood and it’s sooooo good

regret to inform everyone this is a real guy who could be pope

Ok I’m being so serious right now: would any writing friends be interested in meeting up for a long weekend getaway/writing retreat/Broadway trip in NYC this summer?… Because I’m very likely going already 👀

*pterodactyl screech*

Hey so maybe When an author asks for the 2 week industry standard to inform everyone they have an offer Don’t say OOP NEVER MIND OFFER RESCINDED There’s some unprofessional shenanigans going on and I’m MAD (not about me obviously!!)

I watched the Gabby Petito Netflix doc The story is still as heartbreaking and infuriating as when we all followed along live in 2021 But did they HAVE to use AI to recreate Gabby’s voice to read her texts and letters? It’s really gross. I get the family gave permission but god

Mood

Ahhh I’m so excited about these new WIP ideas!! ✨

I got Chinese for lunch today, and??? WHAT DOES IT MEAN

People who understand IG/how to make nice aesthetics: teach me your ways 😭

My entire brand is “I support femmes’ rights and femmes’ wrongs and ESPECIALLY femmes angry kissing,” and the far right can literally do nothing about it 😌

Poké bowls make every day better 💫

Rewatching s1 of Severance and I made my whole family laugh Ricken: “My failure to break into the literary world in my 20s was devastating” Me: “Same” 😂😂😂

Does anyone have any good articles/tips on how to set up a nice aesthetic-y Scrivener doc? I think I had something bookmarked at one point but who knows where it is
