i’m writing a Novel

Wildly excited for this night of Florida lit at P & T Knitwear on July 1, with @kristenarnett.bsky.social, @kaylakumari.bsky.social, Gabriella Burnham, & Lynn Steger Strong. You can get your tickets right here: www.eventbrite.com/e/florida-ni...

what if I peaked in 2022

not to sound like a woman in 1951 but it’s so annoying that I can’t get paid to play tennis

why is my letterboxd literally always giving she’s unwell your honor

@kaylakumari.bsky.social on how playing tennis helped manage her competitive tendencies while writing: “I do get frustrated at myself when I’m losing.”

When you randomly find a book you illustrated for the amazing writer, @kaylakumari.bsky.social, at an amazing place like The Nook on Robinson in the Milk District. #orlando

It was great to catch up with @kaylakumari.bsky.social and listen to her wife, the incredibly talented @kristenarnett.bsky.social, discuss the craft of writing accurate depictions of clowning, grief, and Florida.

i’m doing signed preorders for STOP ME IF YOU’VE HEARD THIS ONE with The Lynx (real florida moves) and i’ll draw anything you want in there!!!!!!!! clown it up, it’s your time to shine (and my time to sign) thelynxbooks.com/item/ZoOPMvN...

amateur women’s tennis is incredible. watched two women almost get in a fist fight over a line call today. 10/10

🎶to the tune of For Good🎶 I do believe I have been changed for the 🔫 WORST

Day 9 of 100 Days of Creative Resistance: @kaylakumari.bsky.social against the myth of the solitary writer mailchi.mp/27d5b5a60194... @writingco-lab.bsky.social

I’m sure there’s no “right” way to grieve a dog but why is my way to start roasting a whole duck at 6pm on a school night (and started prep at 6am)

I just woke up from a dream in which I tweeted “my toxic trait is that I’m positive all I’d need is a 10 minute conversation with Ariana Grande to convince her to let me ghostwrite her memoir” and you know what…….tea

took a galley trip through central florida and all anyone got to show for it was my new book, beautiful friendship, and some clown noses www.autostraddle.com/we-took-a-ga...

my spotify wrapped next year

I’m teaching a craft intensive on writing freaky essays with Tin House this month and would appreciate if you could spread the worddddd https://tinhouse.com/product/winter-craft-intensive-kayla-kumari-upadhyaya/

they said it* couldn’t be done *dressing like slutty Dominic Toretto for my wife’s bowling birthday party

can’t wait for my wife and I to ditch my family on Christmas Day to go see Babygirl and use the excuse of it being the anniversary of when Kristen proposed

most opponents I encounter are great but the terrible sportsmanship in a certain flavor of white suburban women who play competitive tennis in central florida makes the mean girls in high school tennis seem harmless

me on december 1

Kristen and I just figured out that she was watching Sister Act in the theater at the exact moment I was born now THAT’S what I call age gap discourse

last night’s episode of Riverdale featured a lesbian pulp novel called THE COST OF PEPPER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

the PR email I received that declared pickleball to be more popular than bowling felt like a personal attack on me, a person who has become really good at bowling in the past 6-8 months

how am I just now learning the green haribo bears are sTRAWBERRY flavored????? am worried this is one of those things that gets posted on the other app like every quarter by one thousand ppl but I swear I’m being EARNEST

my favorite part of tin house summer workshop was when I accidentally said “I’m fiction” instead of “I write fiction”
