I GOT BOOK DEAL🥺cryingggg 🔗in bïo for my substack which has all the details about my six-figure deal #writersky #author #writing #fantasybook

Spite is my most powerful motivator

The severance pacing was whack and they didn’t do a good job seeding certain plot twists or plot points for it to be effective lol

I may have had a mini breakthrough in my Asian gothic book and it was thanks to a VIDEO GAME #writersky

📣NEWS: MADDER LAKE, my Night Circus but magic painting academia book, has new rep! I’m obsessed w my two lovesick (read: in denial) horny-for-colors art students and I’m excited to try to sell this with my agent Jim McCarthy!!! #writersky #darkacademia #booknews #rivalstolovers #writingcommunity

THIS BOOK IS GOING TO KILL ME!!!!! #writersky

Trying to get back to my historical speculative Asian gothic wip but it’s feeling like the toughest thing I’ve ever written

Happy lunar new year🧧🐍

I've stayed in a pretty good mood this week by dissociating from reality

Writing tip of the day…rejections always hurt but the nice ones sometimes hurt MORE??? #writersky #writingtip

😱BAT EATER is a horror book about the anti-Asian h8 crimes in NYC during the pandemic…SO YOU BET IM GONNA READ IT!!! I lived through that shit 😤 #booksky #bateater #bookrecs

Yoooooo this cover art (minus the text and placement) is SO GOOD. #dramione #booksky

My windows and doors are locked 😌 #booksky #katabasis @harpervoyagerus.bsky.social

Once again crying 🥲 happy to have made an impact no matter how big or small #booksky #writersky

On a happier note, I’ve discovered that running is like exactly like writing: pain pain pain for hours but for some reason I do it anyway 🫠 #writersky #writingcommunity

Posting my final screenshot here as I move through the stages of grief lol #booksky

Whether this is a PR stunt or if TT has been given to Meta, it just feels like I’m being sold to the highest bidder bc in America, everything is for sale apparently

I don’t think most people understand how much effort it takes to make content - each TikTok took me 2 hrs to script/film, and another 2 hrs to edit…all for 4 min of content. I DID THAT FOR TWO YEARS!!! FOR FREE BASICALLY and now it’s all gone #tiktokban #contentcreator

Someone from The New Yorker emailed me asking to talk to a booktoker about how it feels to lose booktok well LEMME TELL U #booktok #booksky

These kind of messages make me cry and all that turns into anger #tiktokban #writingcommunity #writersky
