do u need to start over? or do u need to step away from ur laptop and drink bubble tea

Lived my absolute best life at the Literati warehouse sale today! Not pictured are the cute pins, stickers, and art prints I got too! So excited to dig into these! And figure out how they'll fit on my shelves 😂

u tell a group of writers that u had a Thought and suddenly ur screen is flooded with 👀👀👀👀👀

It’s me, I am girls.

someone: "what is your book about?" me, every time: "oh, well it's complicated, uh...see the premise is that, um, haha wow you caught me off guard with that question...so it's a long explanation but, uh, what I mean to say is, it's a story about, you know, stuff and things—"

To insist that mythology has "bypassed" YA is to be completely ignorant of all the books featuring non-yt mythology we've been blessed with, like Spin the Dawn, The Girl Who Fell Beneath the Sea, Blood Scion, The Star-Touched Queen, etc.

I managed to get a signed copy of my favorite book aka Tracy Deonn - Updates Only's Legendborn and wow she's gorgeous 😭 Literally cannot wait for Bloodmarked! I'll need to find a signed copy of it too!

Re: Barnes & Noble (and everything else on book twtw and pub twt) Just gonna leave this here.

maybe im swerving from my lane a bit but authors are not just people selling a product. this is a thing they wrote that they’re allowed to have fun with. they can come up with cutesy, cringe posts. publishing is so hard. we are allowed to find ways to make it fun.

How do y'all normally find books to preorder? 🤔 Usually I look at B&N but I don't trust them to have a good selection anymore + I'm going to start ordering with a local indie anyway.

my fatal writer flaw is that no matter how dark i plan a wip to be i always end up making it not hard-hitting enough bc i believe in the goodness of the planet

are we book hoarders or are we just collecting little treats as a reward for being alive

I've been inactive for a while dealing with loss/grief, life, & learning to write for myself. Now I'm ready to rewrite this MS! Hearing so many different authors speak like @AuthorJElle at the Texas Book Festival was encouraging & maybe that'll be me on a panel one year!

There’s no peace

you vs. the synopsis you need to finish
