There is something singularly poetic that the first time I see These Kindred Hearts in the wild is in one of my favorite cities, which happens to be where Writing Miss Right is set. I love you New Orleans #bvm #blackbooksky #booksky #writingcommunity
CRINGE IS DEAD WE SUPPORT FREE PALESTINE AND SILLY LITTLE SONGS LETS GOOO
Ms. Rachel announces she will match Macklemore and donate $1 million to organizations supporting Palestine: “I will match Macklemore’s donation and I invite every wealthy white celebrity to match it and speak out against the genocide in Gaza.”

I remember being a teen and using Scarleteen for all of my questions. I didn't know they are still around and that makes me happy
As long as everyone’s talking about sex stuff, a reminder that I’m fundraising for @scarleteen.com (link in the next post). Scarleteen has been at it with high quality, free, inclusive, joyful sex ed for almost 30 years. They’re one of the few online resources left standing.
I'm just saying, some agent, somewhere, knows they want my low word count, MG contemporary fantasy with Black rep, queer rep, and autism rep...
It's that time of year. Teachers buy way more school supplies than you'd think. I teach at a Title I high school, mostly Black and brown students who deserve every resource I can get them. I always come out of pocket for hygiene items, snacks, and paper. #ClearTheList www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/...

16,484 words into Vows of Ruin and Sienna is choosing violence (the elegant kind). She died once already so a ball full of nobodies doesnt scare her anymore. Sienna came back different and the court is about to find out just how much. #WIPWednesday #DarkRomantasy #VowsOfRuin #BlackAuthors #amwriting
THESE KINDRED HEARTS a BIPOC YA romantasy antho released yesterday. I downloaded my Audible copy and went right to my queer Black girl story WRITING MISS RIGHT and hearing a narrator reading MY WORDS has me grinning! Thank @shariwrites.bsky.social @tjohler.bsky.social and @zandoprojects.bsky.social.
Right now I am halfway done with chapter 4 of my wip but I have written 15000 words which exceeds my writing plans and if I continue that pattern, I am looking at about 187,000 words for the whole book. This is very not good lol I have never been an overwriter in my life. What is happening?????

Name a tv show you couldn't finish.
As an Anti-A👁 author I wanted to make a cover for my wip Vow of Ruin. My problem is I made 3 & Idk which I like the most! This is a dark enemies to lovers spicy romantasy for fans of the regression trope in webtoons/manwha. I'm excited to share more of this project as I write. So which is your fav?
I do not want GenAI in fanart. I do not want GenAI in character design. I do not want GenAI in world design. I do not want GenAI in writing. I do not want GenAI in storyboarding. I do not want GenAI in voice acting. I do not want GenAI, period. If any piece of media uses GenAI, I don't want it.
I read this book, The Automatic Writing Experience, and they talked about a sort of trance writing to the spirits but while Im interested in the concept of speaking to my ancestors, this felt very white. So any of my Black diasporic fam have any book recs on communing with the ancestors for me?
I've been struggling with my sense of self and imposter syndrome for a long time now. Let's talk about it nikkitgrant.substack.com/p/to-be-a-fr...

The DX of ASD makes it very clear that the full impact of an Autistic Person's Autistic traits may not fully manifest (and therefore qualify the person for a Dx of ASD) until social demands exceed the person's capacity (like ... you know ... puberty, adulthood, etc ...)
