Went to the restroom after my lunch break and came back to this cute email…

Starting THAT NIGHT by Alice McDermott tonight!

Last night’s Halloween costume!

100 pages into my latest draft. Phew

The way y’all are going after that Sally Rooney review is just so dumb…

October reading wrap-up!

Girl are you an em-dash? Because you keep interrupting my train of thought but in an elegant way

Finished AUDITION by Katie Kitamura and it’s truly everything you could ever want and more—pre-order it like your life depends on it. I loved. I loved. I loved. Thanks to Riverhead Books for the arc!!!

I love at a funeral when someone realizes they haven’t seen you in a while and says, “we shouldn’t wait so long to do this!” And I always say, “I know! People should die more frequently!”

One of my best friends wrote a book and it comes out next year from HarperOne and it’s ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ and amazing!! 10/10 do recommend, pre order, it’s everything you never knew you needed!!

Just in case

Somehow, in the midst of my anxious spiraling, I realized why this chapter in my draft wasn’t working, and made notes for how to fix it when my brain isn’t broken

Currently reading THE GOD OF THE WOODS!!

Making a list of authors whose work I wanna complete in 2025–Susan Minot, Percival Everett, Katie Kitamura, Lydia Millet, Joy Williams, Gayl Jones, Denis Johnson…who are some authors that you love all of their work? Just trying to see something

I thought I was writing two novels, but am thinking maybe I’m actually just writing two parts of one novel…

Tried taking pictures during lunch at work and kept getting caught, but anyway, I’m reading @otroedgargomez ALLIGATOR TEARS and it’s great, y’all should pre-order!

I’m sure they got a bump

So many authors whose work I wanna read more of in 2025!!
