Just over here asking my cat if it would help if I put on some music because there's a hammering noise outside that is making her jumpy.

It’s SO cozy and SO spicy and just absolutely delicious! ❤️‍🔥

In happy news, I finally got to announce this one!

When gmail autocorrects a word into something far more mortifying in an email and you are like okay I need to go live on a deserted island now.

If you email me and never hear back, it's quite possible my cat has filed your email accidentally (but also with purpose as she runs across my laptop in hopes of magically making it through the window to commit bird murder).

Zelda already went too hard for @julianwinters.bsky.social’s publication day.

Happy book birthday to @julianwinters.bsky.social and his absolutely amazing rom com I THINK THEY LOVE YOU! 💞🎉 us.macmillan.com/books/978125...

I loved it so.

Hotel of Secrets 🙌

Whew! I had three video meetings today and my entire being is out of practice. I'm so tired. 🫠

Cannot stop thinking about the fact that Julian Winters successfully turned Succession into a great gay trope mashup rom-com

New friend: Zelda. Status: Currently hiding under the bed because I turned on Happiness. Safe to say she does not like zombies and the like.

Soooo… any time I want to meet a cat to potentially adopt I have to give my whole life story, three references, my vet, and my landlord. Why do I feel like I showed up, met my last cat, and they were like great, take him? Missing this little nightmare sweetheart. ❤️

Currently watching the most hyperactive “good boy” dog at work at the airport. 😂

When you go to the airport so early that the lights are still on in bars… 😴

Why is this the cutest music video and why do I now want a small dog? The cat I haven't even decided to adopt yet is probably jealous somewhere out in the world. www.youtube.com/watch?v=r3QP...

I'm fighting off a covid a cold a something and am also only in for a grand total of eight days more this year, so I am currently closed to submissions. But always happy to hear from you lovely agents in the new year!

Living here today: open.spotify.com/track/7G7mSV...

Happy book birthday to @lexcroucher.bsky.social and the amazing NOT FOR THE FAINT OF HEART 💘 and @ektwrites.bsky.social and the fiery conclusion to her fantasy duology, THIS CURSED LIGHT, ❤️‍🔥now out in paperback!

I finished, I am soothed. What next? 🤔

Foyles Bookstore got me to finally admit that there is, indeed, a Korean Wave. But what has that taught us? I turn my gaze back outward. (Also, I wrote this before Han Kang’s win, otherwise I would’ve mentioned it!)
