The third Maddux of his career!

'It was not fun, it was too heavy,' daughters who grew up w/ trad Catholic parents everywhere just cried out with one voice, then immediately felt bad for being too loud and causing a scene

All right, it's been 24hrs and I feel confident saying it -- The Manuscript is the saddest song ever written. The breakfast cereal and mother's bed lyric had me physically hurting. 💔

At the same time, But Daddy I love Him is absolutely hilarious 🔥 #TSTTPD

Somewhere a lecturer wearing a leather jacket is saying “do you know who else was a tortured poet?” and cueing up 40 slides of John Keats painstakingly photoshopped into album covers

STUNNINGGGGGGG 🔥🔥🔥🔥

Heyyyy look at that!!! 💚💚💚 Would be pretty cool for a debut author like myself to see it break the top 1000 overall 👀👀👀👀

“Eurydice, dying now a second time, uttered no complaint against her husband. What was there to complain of, but that she had been loved?” - Ovid, Metamorphoses

Rollercoasters & skydiving will give you a thrill, sure, but have you ever changed a 4yo's bedsheets while he's at preschool even tho you can't remember if wants Spidey or Buzz sheets for nap, just waiting with bated breath to see if you live or die?

Whew. Pure adrenaline rush.

Zoned out during the eclipse and wrote 2.6K words in under an hour on my phone, what in the mad lunar magic was going on up there in the sky today and can we do this on a weekly basis?

Me, reading this at 4:02am while snuggling my 3wk old -- your brain smells so so good, I could just gobble it up, chomp chomp chomp
My husband, jolting awake from.where he was dozing off next to us -- I...I think you should give me the baby for awhile and get some sleep

Me yeeting manuscript after manuscript at my agent as soon as I type 'The End' without a second thought

At my 39wk checkup:

OB -- You're doing great, just stay the course & keep doing what you're doing!
Me, having bingewatched 6 seasons of Psych in 5 days and eaten nothing but Bojangles biscuits & Lucky Charms since Valentine's Day -- might be tricky but I'll do my level best

Me, caught in the throes of pregnancy insomnia, not using this extra time for writing or reading, but a secret third thing -- becoming deeply emotionally invested in the 'Kate Middleton is actually Banksy' conspiracy theory

One day you're young & wild & free, and the next you're 36, wearing bdrm slippers & eating leftover fish sticks & baby carrots while humming 'gimme that garbage, gimme that garbage' (bc Danny Go is always stuck in your head these days) as you write a spicy scene on your phone.

Taylor Swift just announced the release of a new song called “The Albatross” and that noise you hear is every literature teacher in the country shrieking with joy at the prospect of getting to teach “The Rime of the Ancient Mariner”

This album really is for all the lit major nerds battling anxiety by reading sad existential poems because the way I shrieked this morning when I saw this title...it's giving Rime of the Ancient Mariner?? And Baudelaire?? I'm so ready ✒️📚🥹🤍

My 8yo is using her new sketchbook to write a novel. She's written down & numbered all the chp titles, has allotted 5 pages for each chp, & is currently 2 pages deep into her story. She is using a blue Sharpie & cannot erase anything.

I'm so excited to watch this saga unfold.

Happy Valentine's Day from my MCs!! If your idea of romance involves snarky banter, lovers-to-enemies-to-⁉️ & grumpy queens & toxic prince charmings who marry & instantly regret it, then m̶a̶y̶b̶e̶ ̶s̶e̶e̶ ̶a̶ ̶t̶h̶e̶r̶a̶p̶i̶s̶t̶ read Unbound!! 🍀⚔️🥀🐺💚
