Today my sister Alexis would have been 42, which is the answer to the Ultimate Question of Life, the Universe, and Everything. Today I'm going to eat tacos for every meal and do puzzles and watch TV which I'm pretty sure would be a perfect birthday for her.

Tonight I heard @amikebloomtype.bsky.social recite one of the best similes I've heard in real life: "This is like watching an ostrich in a horse race. Like, it has the capability. It certainly can run fast. But I didn't expect it in this setting, and we'll see how it adapts to it."

When my boyfriend was a child, he used a live frog to CPR another unresponsive frog & and did tiny chest compressions until both frogs hopped away alive. We are unsure if this is how frog anatomy works or if he just freaked the frog out of playing dead.

No one: My boyfriend just now: You know a dog's favorite flipping musician? Benson Bone.

Working today on a scene where a character is trying to teach students about asteroids and meteoroids only to get a sudden text wishing me a Happy Meteoroid and Asteroid Day I looked it up. IT'S REAL. We love worlds colliding (but not asteroids colliding!) #booksky #wip #writing #author

Hey writing folks! Question: when you have a multi-POV book, how do you feel about multiple chapters in a row from the same character's POV when the previous chapters have primarily been back and forth between the two? #writingcommunity #booksky #writing #authors #writers

Every time my editor emails me, I squeal. #writingcommunity #howtoloveyouwhenyouregone

This is tomorrow night! So excited to be apart of this! Come join us!

Went for a walk with my partner and we passed a few baseball fields and he said "Man, Janko would love this place." Janko is my precious sweet baseball boy side character in "How to Love You When You're Gone" so yeah, I'm emotional. #writing #booksky #author #writingcommunity

So excited to chat with yall and share a panel with some incredible artists! PA folks! Come on down.

2 books I read in the same week in 12/22: Book Lovers by Emily Henry and The Bodyguard by Katherine Center—caught me by surprise. I hadn’t realized how badly I needed to laugh, or how much I hadn’t truly felt in a long time, after Covid and postpartum.

What is a book that has saved you? Even just a little saving? Even saved just a part of you? Even saved everything? #booksky #books #reading #writing #readers #writingcommunity #readingcommunity

I cannot wait for you all to meet them! Summer 2026! #booksky #debutnovel #summer2026 #romcom #yabooks

We grew up on different sides of the country, both thinking the Addams Family theme song was a days of the week song co-opted by a TV show and not the other way around, whoops.

Fell in love with another bookstore. @cupboardmakerbooks.bsky.social, I adore you!!! Can't wait to be back soon! #writer #booksky #bookstore #reading #writersofbluesky #books #booksbooksbooks #cupboardmakerbooks

My dad read my novel and was like "oh, wait, so you write, like, real books!" and now he wears this shirt around. #booksky #writer #yaauthor

Turned in my edits on time so here's my little treat: reading a book that's not mine for the first time in TOO long. #writer #booksky #hungergames #sunriseonthereaping

Someone just called me and my partner "two halves of a perfect pie" and I don't know how I'm supposed to be a romantic comedy writer and not broadcast this to everyone I know. #romcom #booksky #writer #htlywyg #romcomwriter

Once I met an old woman and she gave me all of her dresses and then disappeared (I still don't know where she went) but I got to dress as a West Egg princess because of her. Thanks, Shirley, wherever you went.

The world looked so pretty yesterday! Please comment more of the pretty world that you've seen lately. I want to see more!!! 💙 #booksky #photography #world #nature #beauty

Transcript from "official business meeting" (Panera with my lit agent). My agent: When can you start this project? Me: This week. I already know their voices. My agent: You're hearing the voices already? Perfect. Thank God for passion. Thank God for words. #writingcommunity #booksky

28 years and I'm still in love with playing make believe. Thank God for love. Thank God for healing. Thank God for words.

Yall, I saw Punxsutawney Phil in person.

no matter how bad you want it, or what you’re willing to do, the littlest blue whale will still be bigger than you

PREORDERS ARE OPEN FOR FOR ASHLEY'S BOOK AHHHHHH!!!! So excited to get mine.

Groundhog Day is and will always be my favorite holiday. I need a count down calendar.

Found some texts from March 2023 on the day that I figured out how my untitled novel (Now titled HOW TO LOVE YOU WHEN YOU'RE GONE and debuting next year with LBYR) was going to end. Thank God for words. #booksky #debutnovelist #lbyr #htlywyg #howtoloveyouwhenyouregone #romcom #yanovel #writing

The hashtag is #booksky ?!?!?! I love that too much. Hi yall! I'm Gabriela! I write books about stressed out Latinas and awkwardness and all the types of love. My debut novel comes out with LBYR in 2026. Hit me with a line from a book/TV show/poem that you wish you wrote.

Lots of new followers and folks logging on here for the first time, it seems. If you’re a writer or industry person (or both!) I keep a starter pack of literary agents to follow here! 👇🏽 go.bsky.app/EFopcRo

My partner & I get behind on laundry often because we both "hate" doing it. Today we discovered he doesn't like folding clothes and I don't like putting clothes away. So it turns out if we just split the chore in half, neither of us actually "hates" it. Communication rocks.

If there's anything I hope young creatives take from David Lynch, it's to reject the modern IP-driven impulse to explicitly explain and cleanly categorize the logic behind every single event and decision inside and outside of a story at least some of the time.
