it has been the absolute thrill of 2025 to mentor @jameshgemmill.bsky.social and their wonderful, creepy (in a good way) book! agents, definitely keep an eye out for this one!!

blah blah blah something about me realising that a lot of actors of colour only do comedy films/tv shows??? like if this is their choice and what they want to do, great! but is it just me or is there a lack of like drama or other 'serious' genres ft. actors of colour?

i just finished rewatching jennifer's body after so many years, and wow, i didn't think i'd enjoy it half as much as i did before. actually, i think i might like it more now.

Happy to announce that my adult fantasy novels are now repped by @palindrometodd.bsky.social!After all I’ve been through in this industry, it’s lovely to have an agent whose vision & faith make me excited to dive back in & fight for my gaysian characters 🏳️‍🌈🥳 Can’t wait to see what we do together!

tequila. i've only ever done shots but to date, i think about the smell and want to throw up! also, don't recommend the random glass of champagne after you've been doing shots either. that can mess you up 😂

What alcohol 🥃 messed you up SO bad you swore you would NEVER drink it again😵🤢

On its 4th anniv, I'm reposting for bsky my most popular Twitter thread: a defense of the "inactive protagonist," which birthed the essay below, in exactly the way it was written. But first I need to contextualize how and why it was written. psychopomp.com/fantasy/augu... +

just started reading THE SEQUEL by jean hanff korelitz and wow my imposter syndrome is peaking in a yellowface kind of way but i can't stop reading 😂

absolutely refuse to eat dhal which makes me a total pariah as both south asian and a vegetarian 😂

I had a pony!@meghancolleen.bsky.social · 2y ago

What’s a food that you are absolutely in the minority about disliking. I think my worst one is probably summer rolls. Oh and olives. Unless they’re blue cheese stuffed and in a dirty martini.

cataloguing my fave reads of 2024 to snip off the end of the year! stats include: — 90 books read in total (7 were beta reads) — horror and fantasy dominated, but shouldn't have expected anything different considering ✨ me ✨ here's to an even creepier, more horrific (in reading habits, of) 2025!

the problem with planning for edits in one of my fifty-gazillion notebooks is when i can't actually read my own writing anymore 😂

it's early for 2025 resolutions, but gonna try this thing where i try and space out things i'm supposed to do instead of being so terrified i won't have enough time and so compounding my already undying burnout watch me fail!

explain to me the phenomenon whereby i get really, really excited planning my revisions, but i'm paralysed with fear the moment i open the doc

so tempted to do a 2024 writing wrapped but then i'd have to out the word count of my current wip and i don't think i'm brave enough for that lol

oh my god is it possible that KILL YOUR DARLINGS is bubblegum horror 👀

I think we're going to see a HUGE proliferation of #horror over the next four years. We will need the catharsis, and of all sorts: splatterpunk, weird, cosmic/eldritch, folk/cult, Gothic, and bubblegum, to name a few. Horror contains multitudes. Horror can heal. Horror lets us know we aren't alone.

Moo Deng says, don’t panic, apps will be open for two weeks—from noon Eastern Dec 1st to noon Eastern Dec 15th—and mentors will not begin reading apps or requesting fulls until after apps close, so please feel free to submit at a time that works for you. #roundtablementor #writingcommunity #writers

also is it just me, or was the movie gayer than the musical? in a really, really good way.
