Ever wonder about your own...marbling

Stuck here for the rest of the day

My GUFFAW just now was completely involuntary

YEAR OF THE MER is NOT romance. Please. God. Please.

My pilot today is extremely French lol

I got a bunch of black garlic at the market because Bob's Burgers. What do I do with it

I have accidentally inked too many pens with the same ink lol

WHERE IS THE METEOR I WAS PROMISED

Somewhere in the skies over Seattle, a murder of crows jumps a bald eagle in solidarity

😒😒😒🙄 *Looks up transit time to just drive cross country in the morning instead*

We also have two Special Guests for Can*Con: DISRUPTION to announce: Suzan Palumbo and @nataliezed.bsky.social! Suzan is a multi-award nominated author and co-founder of the @theignyteawards.bsky.social and loves a good cape. Natalie is a game designer and author of the novel 'Hench'.

Yep

I love being good at things

The best kind of mail; thank you @theignyteawards.bsky.social.

This prose is both fart-huffing levels of purple and invalid in both the form and humanity of its argument. Revise and resubmit

Eating this gorgeous salted chocolate rye cookie and about to make it my personality

I find myself screaming obscenities at an increasing number of Publishers Weekly emails

Acceptance rates are irrelevant b/c publication isn't a random lottery. All subs don't have the same chance. If you send BCS SF, odds are 0%. If you send a story that makes me cry, odds are high. Writers: ignore acceptance rates b/c they have no bearing on whether YOUR submission may get published.

I need people to get real actual lives

I have a number of quarter-baked ideas that will transform the odd thing here and there if one of you would like to hand me a couple million dollars for funsies

We cannot wait!

Plane read 🤪

Bunch of inept fascist chucklefucks running this shit into the ground so me and a bunch of other very grumpy people have to be both awake and in an airport before a proper witching hour even sets in. This is all going great.

Lol I sent my dad a lil reveal video and did not realize that reversing the camera made my weird reaction face both upside down and much too close and this is why you nerds don't get videos from me 🙃

Disfruta is sweet and punchy without being saccharine and has a citrus bite. Book Pairing: THE DEAD WITHHELD by @ldlewiswrites.blacksky.app. Not for Dizzy of course, but for Carmen. Fruity and a little scary, like she'd suck the life out of anyone but you. lore.world/products/lor...
