I did not have presidential slash fiction becoming real on my 2025 bingo card.

Honestly convinced I'm never going to get an agent at this point. :(

Agent rejected full right before mine in the queue... I'm going to throw up.

No one warned me that when you get into witchcraft, you're gonna smell like a campfire a lot.

Zohran Mamdani says on NY1 he didn't get a congratulatory call from either Andrew Cuomo or Eric Adams last night. He says he got a congratulatory call from Curtis Sliwa, though.

This person took this when they called the race

It's really surreal when your name is a hurricane...guess I'm in my hurricane era.

...sorry ;;

Finally read The Starving Saints and it was awesome and amazing and its giving me so many religious horror vibes and ideas. (Will I ever write something normal and happy?)

The Starving Saints is so good, why didn't I read this before!

Can something good happen to me for once, 2025 has been The Worst.

When you're next on the fulls for an agent and you can't do anything but sit there and refresh querytracker for an entire night.

Okay so this seems to be pretty wanted! So I'm going to do an #askagent on Friday 10/24 from 2pm CST to 3pm CST! Bring your burning publishing/querying etc questions and I'll do my best to answer them! ☺️

CAESAR: PRIEST of JUPITER Andor x HBO's Rome His name is the most famous name in history. His legacy has been romanticized for centuries, but few know his true story. Reexploring the Fall of the Roman Republic through the lens of Science Fiction. Caesar is coming... #A #Q #SFPit

I'M UP NEXT ON ONE OF MY FAVORITE AGENTS' FULLS TO READ LIST. I'M GOING TO THROW UP.

Was laid off for so long I forgot how to do small talk. "Screaming into the black, uncomforting abyss." is not a good answer when a new coworker asks how you are doing today.

Writing is great. You invent a little guy, you can even make him a nice little guy. And then you shake him as hard as physically possible and give him the worst day of his life. Love it.

It has now been 0 days since I triggered the F-bomb timeout in the discord I am supposed to be moderating. >.<

Oh good, now instead of anxiety about agents rejecting me because of my first 3 chapters sucking, I now have anxiety that the agents I sent a message to about the rewritten chapters will be irritated at me and reject on principle. ##amquerying

Nevermind, I COMPLETELY redid the entire first three chapters and now I am frantically trying to figure out how to re-submit to agents who already have my query.

I changed ONE LINE in my first chapter to drop the hook faster and with more of an oomph and now I'm fretting that I screwed up all the queries I submitted previously... #askagent should I bother resubmitting?

My Dream Agent has my full and I don't think my leg has stopped bouncing in anxiety since.

"Quiz! What does your search history say about you?" Just so we're clear, no power on earth will make me give it to you.

Fuckin' AI stole my semi-colons and em-dashes. I used way too many of 'em before it was cool.

The fun thing about anxiety is when I hear a new job is gonna run a background check, despite the fact that I am probably the most straight-laced person alive, all of a sudden I get nervous like "Oh shit, did I rob a bank and forget?"

Kinda annoyed by that "how often men think about Ancient Rome" meme, because I guarantee you I think about Ancient Rome x10 more than any of my male friends.

It's a beautiful day to send off full requests... ##amquerying

Found out there's a manga about my man Pliny the Elder and I'm having a blast. (He did, too.)

On October 3rd, I’m asking you to register to vote. zohranfornyc.com/register

First they came for Bill Clinton, and I said, yes, that man is a sex pest, get him

When you get your ass called out by tarot cards...🙃

As it turns out, the "Kennedy Curse" wasn't that the smart ones were killed, but that the stupid one survived.

*whispers* I’m opening to queries 9/15. 👀👀👀

Me: Write like 3k words in six months. Also me: Write 60k words in two weeks. Consistent, I am not.

I watched HBO's Rome and thought Octavia got a crap deal, so I decided to write a story where my Octavia got to take her revenge instead.

Real ones know the Olympic was cooler than the Titanic because the Olympic didn't sink, but sunk other ships (and a submarine) in a 20 year vengeance tour instead.

Are you kidding me I have a whole dang book where a character slowly goes insane and I didn't use "sane" once in the entire thing?

you can take my em dashes from my cold dead hands

Oh God, since I found out JD Twat used to be called "Bowman" and I looked it up--not only did he come from the same area my family came from, I'm distantly (like, six generations back) related to him. Ew ew ew ew. I'm glad he changed his name. We Bowmans don't want him.

I will never get over how a handful of tech bros set billions of dollars on fire to build a plagiarism machine that doesn't work and will destroy human society when they could have used a fraction of that money to fund a new golden age of creativity and knowledge.

hantatyë ♥️

In High School, I did Creative Writing, and every year they inducted the best writer (picked by the teachers) into the Writing Honors Society. One girl was sure she got it, she bragged to everyone that it was already hers...then I got the nom instead. Anyway, I'll see you in Hell, Brittany.

Officially back open to queries with a new #mswl! www.manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/me...

When my sister got married, the minister asked if she would promise to love and support her husband, to help him achieve his dreams...while saying nothing about him helping with her dreams. Anyway, I'm still mad about it so I wrote an entire fantasy book about destroying the patriarchy.

If Cracker Barrel sets them off, imagine how they’ll react when they hear I went woke in the New Testament — turning the other cheek, feeding the poor, all that radical stuff.
