real life has been busy as hell so i haven't been around BUT i got my first full manuscript request in the last month!!! actually scared everyone shitless by stomping across the whole house with my hooves to scream about it with people :') #amquerying #writingcommunity

Waiting for this oblivion drop is actually making me itchy What if they also announce es6 right after What if the remaster comes out right after the stream Helpppppp

can’t decide whether getting a rejection on a query on the same day you send it is soul crushing or, like, kind of a relief because at least you’re not waiting for 3 months?? when I settle on a feeling I’ll let you know

New post for the weekend! If you’re struggling to survive the querying trenches, give this a read and subscribe for more 📚 Let me know below any tips you’ve found that have helped you survive the query process, or traditional publishing in general 💜 #amquuerying #writingcommunity

okay so I actually knew this because I’ve written copious amounts of fanfic in my life, but WHY DIDNT ANYONE TELL ME WRITING ROMANCE WAS SO FUN?? hello?????? diabolical. why have I written 5k words in one night. jail. jail for a thousand years #writingcommunity #amwriting

when you look into the void of the query trenches, the void looks back, and next thing you know you're making a Substack account. please don't hunt me down I didn't mean for that to rhyme #amquerying #writingcommunity open.substack.com/pub/deedicat...

Put my notebook down for a second in the middle of writing and Nyx has decided I’m not allowed to write any more today

"I used AI to make a Studio Ghibl-"

opened my querying-only email so i could log a previous rejection in my spreadsheet found a brand new rejection

be gay do write

is anyone else biting themselves while waiting for the andromeda award long list to come out tomorrow? I can’t find anywhere if it’s still happening or been postponed or something but I’m NERVOUS

statistically OBVIOUSLY I know I’m not going to get a query response every day, so explain to me WHY my heart still beats out of my chest every evening when I check my emails?? #amquerying

the way I’ve been replaying lady gagas perfect celebrity on a loop all day….. how does she always know to release an album when life is falling apart. And not a single miss. How does she do that

Get in writers, we’re manifesting ✨offer emails✨ #amquerying

Oh wow look the first commercially available home assistant robot. And it looks absolutely HAUNTING.

putting tonic water in my cranberry juice to feel something on a monday evening

thinking about how my department might be laying people off soon (lol. lmao even) and the way I’ve decided to deal with this is to believe that if I do get fired, that just means my novel is about to get picked up by an agent, because that will balance the universe. I’m totally normal why do you ask

petite bourgeoisie is when someone owns the means of production but they’re just so cute about it so it’s okay

Really useful read for anyone who wants to understand why Trump and his government currently isn’t actually fascist - but also why that doesn’t mean what he’s doing isn’t horrifying, dangerous, and worth fighting back against www.socialistworld.net/2025/02/14/f...

Channeling my stress about things I can’t change into things I CAN change. Going to my local socialist branch meet up, reading some theory, working on my next novel. It might not feel like much but I promise you it really IS honest work - do something every day, no matter how small!

That old saw about how “good times make weak men” is true in the sense that stable times with material abundance create reactionaries who want to destroy the systems that protect them because they’re too sheltered and stupid to understand that things can get meaningfully worse.

the democrats 'could' do this or 'should' do that but the democrats 'would' push you into farm machinery for a long weekend

The racial exclusions of the border regime have malfunctioned. Somehow the British state extended a minimal act of kindness to a family of the wrong sort of humans. Bipartisan resolve that this will never happen again. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Cryptwork: Benediction in marble, Kensal Green Cemetery, London. The cemetery was inspired by Père Lachaise Cemetery in Paris, and opened in 1833. I visited Père Lachaise in 2013 and took a load of shots, which I haven't looked at since. Maybe one day I'll post them here 🖤 #gothic #gothicadvent
