Sometimes I lie awake at night wondering what the hell creature is walking around on my roof.

I live in a horror story.

Seeing a lot of writers express fear in querying/publishing right now. I can sympathize—writing is inherently vulnerable and bad actors exist.

But remember algorithms promote controversy/conflict. Great, happy, magical things happen in publishing daily.

I believe in you! ✨

The most profitable entertainment companies who regularly report record profits in books, movies, television, and video games all keep laying off the people who ACTUALLY MAKE THE THINGS and I feel like I’m losing my mind.

Why are book and film/tv marketing so different?

Books focus so much on character age and I wonder if these manmade boxes/categories still make sense.

The skipping prologues chat has me laughing but I might have you beat in terms of sinful reading behavior.

My dad reads the ENDING of books first to decide if it’s worth sinking time into.

Having more existential AI panic today. 😞

Had a hopeful screenwriter friend say he felt the need to sell now, before AI takes over, or he’d forever miss his chance.

Hate that people feel this way and I know he’s not alone.

I send queries out pretty slowly and I hope that isn’t a bad thing. I like to take my time with researching each agent, but it might be worth getting a query into more hands at once.

How many queries do you fire off in a week ?

Having way too much fun outlining my new WIP. I love when inspiration strikes like lightning.⚡️

I’M LISTENING UNIVERSE!

(Also, while you’re here, might I manifest myself an agent? Many thanks). 🙏
