Me to the first line of my new manuscript. (I can't wait until people can read it and see what I did there.)

I did not have presidential slash fiction becoming real on my 2025 bingo card.

Honestly convinced I'm never going to get an agent at this point. :(

Agent rejected full right before mine in the queue... I'm going to throw up.

No one warned me that when you get into witchcraft, you're gonna smell like a campfire a lot.

Zohran Mamdani says on NY1 he didn't get a congratulatory call from either Andrew Cuomo or Eric Adams last night. He says he got a congratulatory call from Curtis Sliwa, though.

This person took this when they called the race

It's really surreal when your name is a hurricane...guess I'm in my hurricane era.

What we're witnessing with #Melissa is ultra rare in the history of known hurricanes in the Atlantic. This level of sustained intensity and feasting on every joule of ocean heat content without any real disruption is incredible. Not hyperbole: Jamaica is facing a generational catastrophic event.

...sorry ;;

Oh I dread watching the disaster unfold today but off to live land I go. Fuck you, Melissa.

Finally read The Starving Saints and it was awesome and amazing and its giving me so many religious horror vibes and ideas. (Will I ever write something normal and happy?)

The Starving Saints is so good, why didn't I read this before!

Can something good happen to me for once, 2025 has been The Worst.

When you're next on the fulls for an agent and you can't do anything but sit there and refresh querytracker for an entire night.

Okay so this seems to be pretty wanted! So I'm going to do an #askagent on Friday 10/24 from 2pm CST to 3pm CST! Bring your burning publishing/querying etc questions and I'll do my best to answer them! ☺️

I think I want to do an #askagent later this week. Like #amquerying folks can ask publishing /querying/writing etc questions and I'll answer as best I can. I know I used to see those a lot on twitter but I don't seem too often here. Would that be something people are interested in? ☺️

CAESAR: PRIEST of JUPITER Andor x HBO's Rome His name is the most famous name in history. His legacy has been romanticized for centuries, but few know his true story. Reexploring the Fall of the Roman Republic through the lens of Science Fiction. Caesar is coming... #A #Q #SFPit

I'M UP NEXT ON ONE OF MY FAVORITE AGENTS' FULLS TO READ LIST. I'M GOING TO THROW UP.

Was laid off for so long I forgot how to do small talk. "Screaming into the black, uncomforting abyss." is not a good answer when a new coworker asks how you are doing today.

It has now been 0 days since I triggered the F-bomb timeout in the discord I am supposed to be moderating. >.<

Oh good, now instead of anxiety about agents rejecting me because of my first 3 chapters sucking, I now have anxiety that the agents I sent a message to about the rewritten chapters will be irritated at me and reject on principle. ##amquerying

Nevermind, I COMPLETELY redid the entire first three chapters and now I am frantically trying to figure out how to re-submit to agents who already have my query.

I changed ONE LINE in my first chapter to drop the hook faster and with more of an oomph and now I'm fretting that I screwed up all the queries I submitted previously... #askagent should I bother resubmitting?

My Dream Agent has my full and I don't think my leg has stopped bouncing in anxiety since.

"Quiz! What does your search history say about you?" Just so we're clear, no power on earth will make me give it to you.

Fuckin' AI stole my semi-colons and em-dashes. I used way too many of 'em before it was cool.

The fun thing about anxiety is when I hear a new job is gonna run a background check, despite the fact that I am probably the most straight-laced person alive, all of a sudden I get nervous like "Oh shit, did I rob a bank and forget?"

Kinda annoyed by that "how often men think about Ancient Rome" meme, because I guarantee you I think about Ancient Rome x10 more than any of my male friends.

It's a beautiful day to send off full requests... ##amquerying

Found out there's a manga about my man Pliny the Elder and I'm having a blast. (He did, too.)
