obsessed with the way my adhd only lets me crunch out words at a fast colume when I'm doing timed writing sprints. my adhd thinks shes some diva

I love pitch events but remember that time twitter pitch event hosts came together to schedule theirs at good intervals so there was no burnout? can we pls go back to that model bc 5 events in one month is too much

listen I love my book so much but I want her to be someone elses responsibility for a few weeks

save me lay's dill pickle chips save me

[doctor coming to brief my family in the waiting room] He's awake and posting.

I looked like nicole kidman leaving her divorce lawyers office when I was walking out of my 3 hour final

was watching a documentary where they were excavating a huge neolithic tomb and found where some iron age blacksmith just BUILT a house in the crypt and the archeologists were like "bro? what were u doing??"

we need to bring back gargoyles. I’m not saying it will fix everything, but I am sure it wouldn’t make things worse. And that is something to consider

part 1 of my DOTT revision is finally completed!! (this post is so late that I'm already halfway through part 2) but STILL!!!

if I was in a high fantasy book i'd be corrupted by the allure and intrigue of the forbidden magic objects and hot villain so quickly you have no idea

I am writing a dynamic in a scene i have been DYING to write for years (they go undercover as a couple)

Please share widely 🙏🏼 I am taking item donations (literally anything from the publishing community or readers) for the next #KidLit4Ceasefire fundraiser to run Jan 15th through 31st. I am at about 100 items, trying to get to at least 500. airtable.com/appgMC1CTRup...

My bird flew up to my computer, and used her beak to quickly steal a whole key off my keyboard. I chased this bird around for 10 minutes trying to get my backspace back

I was putting together my glade automatic like air freshner can and it sprayed. directly. Into. my. mouth. and. eyes.

Impermanence is not insignificance

not to brag or anything but the artwork in my inbox rn 😌

Writing is fine. It's literally the most embarrassing thing on earth to emotionally put yourself on full display for rejection or validation, but it's good. I enjoy it. I find it therapeutic to horrify myself.

i have a subtweet (subskeet?) in me but I am fighting to keep it in bc I already told them to knock it off 😔

as far as reanimated corpses go i think i do ok

Instead of yelling "SPILL THAT TEA!!" im going to start saying "CHURN THAT BUTTER!!

my nickname is em and thats mot short for emma its short for empire
