it’s like, i want the country road to take me home and i’d love to be in a place where i belong, but is that really west virginia?

This piece references and is 100% inspired by this beautiful photo of (@missblaquevelvet on IG) and of course my love for all things retro. This leg pose really challenged me but I think I did alright in the end! #blackart #blackartists #illustration #pinup #art

An important point to keep in mind.

The SAVE Act will require voters to provide unnecessary documentation to vote. This bill would make voting harder for people of color, women, and low-income people — groups of people who already face more difficulties at the polls.

Last month I spent a few hours updating my query folder in drive with the ‘first X pages.’ I queried a few agents the other day and hit ‘restore’ today on a new query. Y’all… I’m positive I uploaded outdated pages. Is it a sign to give querying a rest for a few weeks? #amquerying

I’ve somehow landed on the dream side of Bluesky and reading about everyone’s dreams is kind of my favorite thing in the world right now

I was exhausted, but told myself to just write for fifteen minutes. Ended up writing for nearly an hour and finishing a chapter. Sometimes you just have to give yourself fifteen minutes.

This agent requested a ✨partial✨ the next day. So I am once again asking to join hands with me to lock in the manifestation 🕯️✨ #amquerying

I made a big mistake when I decided this novel would have a plot and characters.

Working on pitches and mood boards for #cupit I’ll probably end up only posting one because I read the beginning of a book that made me extremely sad 😭

Also, I dreamt of a full request and offer of rep by a certain agent THREE times in the last week. Let’s all join hands and help me lock in the manifestation ✨🕯️ #amquerying

You, too, can seize the government if you try hard enough. You don’t even have to be smart these days. Bonus points if you are though.

I didn’t catch the lyrics in the beginning of Kendrick’s performance, but did he say “grew up on government cheese, but now I can seize the government too” because I need it on a shirt and on a bumper sticker

#Questpit #MSWL day and #cupit are approaching, but I don’t have any pitches or moodboards ready. They’re my last pitch events for a while and I’m hoping ✨something✨ comes out of them, but if not, querying Churchbred is shelved until next year or late this year 😭 #amquerying

My birthday has been so peaceful and I only cried once. They were mostly happy tears, which is an accomplishment in this economy. Kendrick’s concert will probably be the icing on the cake if said cake doesn’t kill me (it has trace amounts of nuts and I’m allegedly allergic).

If you have a second… epic.salsalabs.org/tellyoursena...

In all seriousness, we’re gonna need a lot of pushback and eyes on these senators because that OK SB593 is not just a child p***ography bill and Dusty thinks we’re stupid. #booksky
