Good morning. Write the unhinged thing. It's always the right decision.

Look at this 4th cen BC Greek antefix, proof that our ancestors also appreciated A Very Good Boy. 13/10 would pet

It’s October which means we’re so back 🎃✨

Hit 25k on my draft for my gothic/horror romantasy and can’t believe I’m doing this 😭

I agree but also as an animal person this movie stressed me out as much as Glenn's final episode of The Walking Dead

Very excited for the things to come. 🤍🤞

Reaching 100 pages on the WIP somehow makes it all feel more real that I’m writing a book :’)

Whoa it’s Amazon Prime Day! Yeah I’m into PRIME. P - Purchasing R - Right from I - Indie bookstores who M - Make our communities E - Even better places to live Shop indie, shop local.

Did some really productive edits on WIP today 🤝

So excited to share news soon !!! 👀🥳

Ahhh absolutely loved attending today’s pitch event!! What an incredible experience 🫶🤍✨

Planning on doing an exciting thing soon. It’s only natural when you read something so surprisingly propulsive 👀

Happy Friday the 13th Ghouls 🤍✨

Welp, we might as well call Issue 149 the "Everything Makes Me Cry" issue. Another heartfelt banger! You're missing out if you miss it! Check out "Things the Older Boy Understands" by @sierrabranham.bsky.social, out now!

The things I’m reading right now 😳✨

EXCLUSIVE: Jess Hong's Jing Cheng will be central in the second season of Netflix's 3 Body Problem, and we're pleased to report that she will also narrate the audiobook for Cixin Liu's The Dark Forest! reactormag.com/exclusive-3-...

I’m taking virtual pitches this Saturday 6/14 at the Writing Day Workshop! There are a few spots left with me—I’m open to any genre but I’m on the hunt for mysteries/thrillers and gothic fiction! californiawritingworkshop.com

Hit 15k on project Soul Eater 🎉

Lead with your hook: the unique twist, premise, or promise that makes your story different from every other book on the shelf. If you can’t explain what makes your book special in one or two sentences, it might be time to sharpen that pitch. #WritingTips #AmQuerying #PitchPerfect #WritingCommunity

I’m open to queries through the 7th! I am on the hunt for MG and YA mysteries/thrillers, gothic horror, and intricate, inventive fantasy! I’m especially looking for stories from BIPOC and queer writers. Check out my updated wishlist here: www.manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/al... #mswl

Happy Pride! For the month of June, I'm offering 10% off ALL PACKAGES for queer stories. If you're in need of editing, shoot me an email! #amquerying #querytip #amwriting #writers #amediting Strictlytextual.com

As a writer I always feel like I have to have a smiliar substitute for a certain word so it doesn’t get echoed so much :’)

Writing words on the WIP has been tough lately 🫠

You cannot alter your fate...however, you can rise to meet it, if you choose

Almost ten years on the author side of publishing, and the queer books are starting to stack up. I’m so grateful for every reader who’s helped me trick the industry into publishing more of my stories thus far. And here’s a little more about them if you’re looking to build up your Pride Month TBR 🫶🏼

Editors have a unique responsibility and opportunity to make sure more marginalized authors get their books onto shelves, into readers' hands. There are things you can do pretty easily to make sure your editing services are as open and accessible as possible to marginalized authors:

So cute omg

Here to annouce that May 31st will be the last day to submit your work to me as I will be closed to queries until August. If you think your work is a match, feel free to send it my way or see my MSWL here for more info: www.katrinalemaire.ca/mswl

Slowly been getting back into writing (also started outlining a new WIP which is a gothic murder mystery that takes place in a botanical castle filled with lingering bone magic) so things are happening 🤌

Really want to start a substack but idk what to yap about 😳

Sign me up 🤝

I forgot the one trope is called "Grumpy x Sunshine" and thought it was called "Rain Cloud x Sunshine."

I really want to submit the new canine/body horror flash fiction piece to this magazine I admire, but their submissions on Google won’t let me in & they haven’t replied to my email 😭

So excited to see so many offers popping up in the inbox!! But also from my end as a baby agent: 🤧😭

Happy Mother’s Day to all the Mothers who are Mothering out there 🤍🫶

Writing has always come first in my creative endeavors. However with my new job in the theatre industry & agenting, it’s been difficult to find time to write lately. So! I’ve promised to be kinder to myself with the creative process & start scheduling time for storytelling. Nothing is impossible 🤍

Starting my first full-time position with big girl duties is both exciting & nerve-wracking 😅

The answer is write more, unfortunately

it's long overdue but (almost) a year ago, i re-entered the query trenches and made it to the other side. maybe it's time for a HIGMA post?

Big sketch card store drop b/c I took last week off ahah. Get 'em while they're hot! ko-fi.com/triaelf9/shop #art #shop #CriticalRole #TotK

Setting up a new website is truly such a humbling experience :’)
