Rep. Aisha Gomez: “To look at people standing up against ICE and see ‘paid protesters’ says nothing about us and everything about you.” “That you cannot conceive of us loving our neighbors so much that we would actually do something for them.”

I love that "yes, and" is my day job. ❤️

www.humblebundle.com/books/pathfi... So pleased to announce my new Humble Bundle exclusive short story! "From Author Gabrielle Harbowy (Gears of Faith) comes a new tale of the fan-favorite heroines (and their loyal riding dog companion, Appleslayer) set in Pathfinder's Lost Omens setting."

You guys I rep this book and it is SUCH A FUN ROMP! ✨💖✨

If you would like to thank me for creating these comp-finder databases (they are a lot of work!), share with your writer friends so they get used and/or buy some of the books from the Bookshop links inside.

"There’s simply no way any of us could have predicted a Nazi SS guy with his eyeballs dangling out of his sockets and the Staff of Ra broiled into his flesh like grill marks on a meat slab would be such a terrible candidate for Senate."

Me: this sportscar in front of us is the ugliest color. Why buy an expensive car and get it in pale primer gray? It's like...dirty stormtrooper. Them: Dirty Stormtrooper sounds like a sex position where none of your shots land where you mean them to.

Said while watching chemistry YouTube videos: "welcome to the Learn Bad Habits From Me channel...where science teaches you.*" *teaches you not to do that again.

It's 9:30pm on a Saturday. Perhaps I will stop work for the day and do a hobby or some pleasure reading for a while.

In honour of the return of FIFA and the world’s current footy-mania, I am reposting one of my favourite short stories! You can read or listen to it for free on my website: jmfrey.net/2026/06/the-...

Questions to ask when revising a fantasy novel: #5 - Are your world’s rules internally consistent? #Writing #Editing #Fantasy

the whole POINT of books is that they are THERE and they WILL be there! The newest book is old the second it's out! it's like driving your new car off the lot! Embrace all the books out there!

They knew the character was only pretending to be disabled because he switched his cane between hands. Dear writer, so do I, because I use it for balance issues, not for left- or right-side pain. People use mobility aids how they need to and how absolute dare... Okay. Not over it. Clearly.

This is a gorgeous story.

I'm pleased to celebrate my promotion from Associate to Literary Agent at Corvisiero Literary Agency! Query box reopens September first. 📚

I treated myself to a kettle that heats water to the temperature of my choosing, and now I need to taste ALL THE GREEN TEAS EVER, so who wants a field trip to @fridaytea.com?

You would never know from the word count that I've been deleting and adding scenes all day.

I found out that the contract won't be renewed. Because he's been replaced with AI. So. That's neat. If anyone can help me cover the last of the bills ($500 total), I would cry. He made twice as much as me. we relied on his income. And now that's gone thanks to AI. Thank you. So very much, all.

“When I became a man I put away childish things, including the fear of childishness and the desire to be very grown up.” – CS Lewis

My parents' generation said "I was no longer a child so I put away childish things," but my generation said "Haha, fuck that. I'm no longer a child, I can play with whatever I want." Maybe for us, adulthood is about satisfying the needs that weren't met in childhood.

Hey internet! You know how you love to be mad? Well now is a great time to put that skill to use and contact the FCC.

Today I'm going to see a star war in a theater with my oldest friend. Our dads were best friends. So not only did we both grow up on star wars, we grew up on star wars *together*.

Washington Writers Conference knows what fuels agents for pitch session speed dating! @wirobooks.bsky.social

Ask The Agent (classic edition): Why do so many writers and agents give the advice to NOT open your book with dialogue? My answer (with example!): www.tumblr.com/literaticat/...

I would also just like to note as someone who has been on this ride many times, I have never once seen an imprint/publisher pitch where they talk about "clean" or "wholesome" stories where you don't peel back maximum two layers before you find out they're anti-queer
