WEHHHHHHH I just wrote a super sad chapter in my latest mg 😭😭😭

We're officially in winter because we took down the window ACs today

No matter how extensively I plot, I always make a discovery about my book about two thirds of the way in and have to leave myself a bunch of notes for revisions

Something I've learned about myself is that I don't cry writing dedications or acks, but I ALWAYS cry when I read them during copyedits

Flights of Foundry was so fun y'all! Thank you to everyone who came to my panels :)

Come see me talk about debuting and having a Weird Brain!

I have had absolutely no idea what day it is this entire week

I wish I could post more here, but *gestures vaguely at the world*

Come check out my panels at Flights of Foundry!

Guess who gave themself a buzz cut today? This guyyyyyyy

The cover of Outersphere book 2, WHERE THERE BE SPIES, is here! Out may 5!

YESSSS CAN'T WAIT TO READ

BRO I SPELLED CROAK "CROWK" THIS IS A NEW LEVEL OF DEEP FRIED BRAIN FOR ME

We have had a peanut feeder SPECIFICALLY for blue jays for well over a year and they finally decided to hang out in our yard!!!!!! I love them so much!

I deserve a raise for having to fix my website so many times over the past year but unfortunately my boss is me and that jerk is Mr. Krabs level cheap

Happy book day, Aquamanatee!

My nephew and I are not related by blood but anytime he and I are even a little alike I'm like yeah he got that from me 😌

My bro and sister in law flew in yesterday and they were so excited to talk about WTBM it made me so happy 🥹🥹🥹

Also I've been doing little ballpoint sketches in my mini sketchbook and it's great

Guess what I did today! Rested! And I was only a little weird about it!

It's genuinely so wild that having ADHD means I have zero patience for frustration while at the same time it's the source of a large number of frustrations in my life

Ms. Red-Tailed Hawk is outside absolutely HOLLERING. What are you doing out there ma'am?

After over a year in a nearly century old house I can safely say that one of the weirdest things about it is how accustomed you get to the presence of spiders. The other day I was just vibing next to one on the couch like "how exactly did I get here?"

Today’s the last day to enter the Goodreads giveaway for a physical copy of my book!!! Link here: www.goodreads.com/giveaway/ent...

"WE DONE MADE THE GOOD COOKIE THAT EVERYBODY LIKE" lives rent free in my head

Something for which I'm incredibly grateful is how many people feel comfortable telling me about their neurodivergence at events. Every time I do an event at least one person comes up to talk to me about their ADHD or autism and it makes me so happy to talk to people about their lives

Unmasking is weird

Jokes on her I got microplastics added to my blood on purpose by an invasive radiologist

Tag urself I'm 1938. Trepidatious but still dancin

You’re going to get a lot of rejections and agents will ignore your emails and there will be naysayers around every corner and you’ll get 1-star reviews that are attacks instead of reviews. None of that matters. Keep going. Stay focused. Put in the work. Don’t quit. Go write.

Hey. Hey. Please don’t wait for an indie book series to be finished before you pick up the books. Just buy them. Don’t wait. So MANY indie series never get finished because the author gets zero sales on the opening volumes and gives up. Give them a reason to keep going. Buy the books.

Absolutely loved this interview with Angela!

WHO INVENTED OCD I JUST WANNA TALK

Hey everyone, #KidLit4Ceasefire has now fundraised the evacuation of 10 people. I am focusing on the next two families. One family of 6 and another of just 3, with a 4-month-old baby. I need 500 items for this fundraiser. I only have 218 at the moment. Donate here: airtable.com/appJkEF7W6Sl...

Kidlit authors please tell me this part gets easier 😭

I definitely struggled more at this week's event than I did at the last one. I was just super dysregulated due to Uncontrollable Factors and my social skills were much worse than usual!

I accidentally blurted basically this in front of a bunch of strangers today and I genuinely can't imagine what it sounded like to an unsuspecting audience

I have never gotten a chance to observe house wren behavior until one moved into one of our birdhouses this summer. This little creature is an absolute menace. I saw her tackle a much larger bird off the feeder the other day

Oh, good

Now officially x files posting across both accounts oh no

Jack reacher is a modern day knight errant. In this essay I will ,,

This is where I post from

Explaining to the Professor, who has never even opened Tumblr dot com, what a blorbo is

When we got our house inspected, the inspector found that the flue is broken shut, which shocked all three of us because the people who lived here were obviously having fires. Just smoking themselves like Christmas hams

dripped my foul ichor on the floor again 😩

Look I've spent years trying to be less of a perfectionist about art I don't actually want anything that makes it less slow or more Good or whatever

About once a year I run through a bunch of picture books, and I realized I was so busy last year that I didn't read one single PB! Am now deep in my library's catalog making up for it
