Crushing my word count goals lately. Must be the rainbow power 🌈 📚 #AmWriting

Our society is broken on a structural level, and it's so easy to feel despair -- because one person can't really stop the momentum. But we can throw a wrench into the machine. And, someday, enough wrenches will stop things so we can rebuild. Keep creating, keep resisting, keep throwing wrenches ❤️

Me drafting my queer little book during Pride month 🌈📚

I know there was a lot going on in American politics today, but I wanted to take a moment to highlight how much I admire the work that Greta Thunberg and the Freedom Flotilla are doing. They're sailing an aid ship across the Mediterranean to Gaza right now, despite lacking Israeli permission.

Jonathan Joss--voice actor of John Redcorn from King of the Hill, and Ken Hotate from Parks and Rec--was killed in a homophobic hate crime today. I'm so angry.

I wish I'd known my agent was leaving before I finished my latest MS. I wrote it knowing that it was weird and unsettling and that it would maybe be a hard sell. But I also wrote it feeling safe with my agent. And now she's gone, and I'm not sure anyone else will believe in this book 💔 #AmQuerying

Have you looked at images of Gaza on Google Maps? You should | Arwa Mahdawi

Finally jumping back into my new WIP. Excited for this one 🙌🙌🙌 #AmWriting

Ah, yes. The time of year where my rent increases for no reason 🫠

There was a goose outside honking loudly just now. Tell me why for the first several seconds I thought it was my 8yo yelling, "Mom! Mom!" 😂 (I thought she'd missed the bus)

Part 1 on neighbors being disappeared by the US government.

The Spring Equinox was yesterday, so I pushed a little wish out into the universe ✨ #AmQuerying #WritingCommunity

I'm staff at university in a STEM department in the US, and it's a mess, y'all. This isn't just affecting current researchers, but a whole generation of future researchers. Maybe because my feed is primarily writers, but I haven't seen much talk about what's happening with NIH funding.

I feel like art is the only thing that's going to get me through the next 4 years. To all my creatives out there, keep creating ❤️

Back to ignoring existential dread by writing words ✍️

I think about this NYT cover from 2021 a lot. They could never run a spread like this again, it would require 20 pages for all the thumbnails of dead Palestinian kids

Y'all, I'm only one chapter into my latest WIP and I'm so excited about it! Throwing all my rage into another creepy YA feels great 🔥🔥🔥 #AmWriting

Managed 814 words today! 🎊

New year, new followers, new intro post 🎆 🌈📚 Queer 🍂 New Englander 🩹 Living w chronic pain ✍️ Writer of genre blending YA 🖤💀 Generally dark & weird (my writing & me 😉) I'm currently part of the #AmQuerying crowd--check out my #AgentsGuide below for details! #WritingCommunity

The worst part of coming back from a writing break is realizing that I can't read any of my scene notes 🫠 #AmWriting

Word of the Day is one I keep posting at the end of the year, hoping its time will come. ‘Respair’, from the 16th century, is fresh hope, and a recovery from despair. Here’s to a few drops of respair in 2025.

Okay, 2024, you've got like 2 hours to bring me any positive writing news🕯️#AmQuerying

90% of being a writer is hauling your laptop around with you and telling yourself you'll write on the train, but then never opening it and just staring out the window instead. Or maybe that's just me 😅 #AmWriting #WritingCommunity

Today's lesson discusses the American health care system for those in countries where their system provides care for free or reasonable fees. 👇

Somebody said Home Alone is “Middle Grade Die Hard” and I haven’t slept in days

Lavender Menace, Gays the Word, Book Woman…I’ve fallen in love with so many LGBTQIA bookshops. They’re places of joy and resistance, good coffee and even better books. Support 🌈 stories and businesses by sharing this Starter Pack. go.bsky.app/G321HCf

Everyone should be sharing this story about the Amnesty International report because yes many of us have long acknowledged that it’s a genocide but there are still people who need the validation of a report from an org like Amnesty to believe it’s true zeteo.com/p/amnesty-co...

This!!! Reading (and writing) about scary things helps us process the scary things we encounter in the real world.

The AIDS quilt is such a striking example of quilting and other traditionally feminized crafts as radical queer politics and I hope this encourages people to learn more about the rich history of protest textiles in the US.

Despite my original goals, I wrote almost nothing in November. I'm hoping December will have more words! I've become a bit more desensitized to the existential dread, so maybe that will help 🤞 #WritingCommunity #AmWriting

Friends: it would mean the world if you could call out to the ether and share my books! They're about two tween stepsisters who constantly run afoul of ghosts, monsters, and other creepy stuff. They face them all with wit, snark, and especially snark. Did I say snark already? Also snark 😆

Thankful for friends, family, and my box of author copies of One Girl’s Voice illustrated by Rebecca Gibbon, published by Astra books for young readers and launching on February 11, 2025, which is the day I turn 78 years old. Please, dear friends, we are never too old to follow our dreams

First thing I do when I'm visiting my family long-term. (They don't even notice)

My 4yo just had us make a peanut butter and banana sandwich with a pancake in the center. And he's somehow managing to eat it despite it being wider than his mouth.

First rejection I've received after a mostly silent few weeks. I feel like a wave is about to hit me as agents clear their inboxes #AmQuerying

This Monday has real Friday vibes
