Why does one need a degree in accounting to fill out a W4???

It’s #mswl day hosted by @manuscriptwishlist.bsky.social and I made this cute bingo card graphic with my wishlist wants. If you hit any square, feel free to query. My inbox is open and the link is in my bio. It’s hard to read, so written out in thread form, here’s what I’m looking for: #mswl 1/x

I know defense wins championships but defensive battles are soooooo boring to watch. #lukewarmSB60take At least the half time show made up for it.

I missed my connecting flight by 2 MINUTES through no fault of my own. So now I’m in the Detroit airport hotel and have the room to myself and have turned the heat up to 76 and am basking in it. Mind you, my partner believes perfect sleeping temp is 67 degrees. I just sleep in long pants always.

I’ve never been one for writing flash fiction but tonight I had a plot bunny that began on another flight and I couldn’t stop thinking about it. So it was the perfect thing to do while waiting for this plane to take off.

Randomly decided to reread DEVIL IN WINTER and two things are still true. I ADORE Lisa Kleypas and St. Vincent is most definitely one of my favorite redeemed villains of all time.

And just like that, the hardest book of my entire career has a book deal. I'm so excited that my wild sapphic serial killer book is going to be released upon the world! ❤️🔪Killing Eve meets Dexter FTW 🔪❤️ Thanks to @evascalzo.bsky.social & Jess Verdi for making dreams come true! #booksky #writers

I’ve been in Frankfurt for less than an hour and already two different people have asked me for help/directions. I am walking around with a giant suitcase so I’m not sure why anyone would trust me for those but so far I seem to have helped.

I had to wake up at 6:45 AM to help get the kids ready for school. First I overslept. Then I had to take a Zofran because I was so nauseated I could barely function. Then I curled back up in bed and took naps until now. I am so the opposite of a morning person that trying to become one might kill me

Listen, I’m reading this second chance romance because it’s the third book in a series and there’s a second trilogy that picks up after this book that I am interested in continuing and I’m just like, maybe I’ll DNF this one and skip ahead. I just am not a second chance girlie.

We’re just getting the outer bands of Hurricane Erin in PR, but of course a little bit of rain knocked out the power. 🙄 Luckily the overcast skies and gusts of wind mean it’s not too hot.

The way I’ve never been a fan of the color orange and now I want to make it my whole personality.

Listen, the way the PJo reunion has taken over my whole personality is probably a sickness but like they were MY OTP ship. The way I sobbed through the DC finale to get to the BEST and most vindicating ending. Ah the early aughts, you will always be special to me.

AALA members! Join us this Wednesday for a: ✨ New & Innovative Publishers Roundtable ✨ The Programming Committee of the AALA is pleased to announce a roundtable discussion featuring several more recently-established independent publishers with innovative business models.

Listen. I get it. Air travel is misery. BUT WHY HAVE PEOPLE SUDDENLY DECIDED ITS UNNECESSARY TO USE HEADPHONES?! Maybe this Reel is brightening your day Tiffany, but I DON’T WANT TO HEAR IT. And Drummond, I most definitely DID NOT NEED TO LISTEN to the FULL ON MOVIE YOU DECIDED TO WATCH ON BOARD!!

Celebrating two lovely books by two of my favorite authors hitting the NYT bestseller list today!

Long flights are a great time to catch up on the pile of unread manuscripts I have lurking on my phone. The best is when they’re absolutely bingeable.

This summer child is thrilled to be headed to 80+ degree weather. It’s April and it felt like 7 degrees outside this morning. That is not okay with me.

I’ve been partially convinced that I had some sort of tumor in my throat but apparently what I have is a globus sensation which is due to the severe acid reflux and stress and anxiety I’ve been dealing with the last month. I would like it to all go away.

Reminder to me: update your MSWL before 2/12.

Zendaya’s wedding is about to be Law Roach’s crowning achievement

Have you heard? Never Leave, Never Lie is getting a new special edition thanks to @marleysmustreadsbymm . This special edition feels especially special (😅)because our collaboration began the day after the election.

I was so half assed about planning our FF league that I ridiculously let our championship game come down to this week, but somehow I am winning and as long as LaPorta has a decent showing tonight I should be able to hold off my brother to win first place.

I went down a rabbit hole reading the comments to some of the Blake Lively stuff and man, I do not have the energy to block everyone but like the number of people who hold on to disinformation is frankly terrifying and explains so much about where we are as a country.

Had to go to the dentist for a sealant on a tooth which was not at all a big deal but now all my other teeth feel weird even though the dentist didn’t touch them. Is this like teeth’s version of sympathy pains? The whole thing wasn’t even painful. It was the most lowkey dental appointment ever.
