The always fabulous @sonorataylor.bsky.social read THIS IS HOW A VILLAIN IS MADE… and she loved it! 🖤 THIS IS HOW A VILLAIN IS MADE releases on Godless on August 21st.

Homemade Rice Krispie treats dusted with cinnamon is my new obsession.

A video shows up on my feed where one friend goes, “You’re single—ready to mingle?” and the other fires back, “Nope, I’m single and ready to Pringle,” meaning they’re spending weekend nights solo with snacks and zero regrets. Did someone just read my diary or…?

A lovely blurb from @katsilvaauthor.bsky.social for THIS IS HOW A VILLAIN IS MADE. Also, be sure to check out her latest, WHERE THE SOUL GOES, when it releases on September 9th. It's beautiful and gutting.

The next Wondering, Wandering, and Writing issue is available on Substack! This issue is a little ramble about pairing writing and music. L!nk in bio. #wonderingwanderingwriting #substacknewsletter #newsletter #storycraft #music

When one of your besties texts you in the morning, because you are both the “don’t be weird” one. Always be the weird one. #betheweirdone

That awkward moment when you look to your right and realize you’ve become a beverage goblin. #beveragegoblin #hydratehyrdatehydrate #caffinatetooperate #allthehydration

I finally figured out why I am not a fan of leftover food—they’re a long-term commitment that eventually turns on you and ends up smelling weird.

The next issue of Wondering, Wandering, and Writing is available! amandaheadlee.substack.com/p/wondering-...
