I've queried two agents with my horror manuscript. I'd almost forgotten how many more mistakes I find in my writing AFTER sending it out

I'm putting together a list of agents to query for a horror manuscript I'm working on---anyone have suggestions of who I should reach out to? #horrorwriters

I finished my second full novel manuscript. This should feel like an accomplishment, but after querying and failing to place my first novel, it doesn't feel like I've done anything at all. Hopefully these years of work actually lead to something

One of the ~ best ~ parts of teaching is the back handed compliments like, "Wow you don't look that old!" 🙃😂

I received my best teaching eval scores ever. And that while I felt like I was distracted by endless job applications 🥲

I'm sick at the airport. It cost me $15 to get a mask so I'm not breathing germs on everyone.
Really charging more than minimum wage to not be a disease vector.

Māori MPs briefly suspended the Aotearoa parliament’s attempts to reinterpret their founding treaty in the most bad ass use of the Haka I’ve ever seen.

A student in my intro creative writing class asked, "Are you teaching intermediate workshop? There's no instructor listed and I was really hoping it was you" 🥲

I finished a full draft of my second novel manuscript this week. I still haven't found an agent for the first, but I feel like I've grown as a writer & I'm confident in this new project

I'm going on the job market this year. It's been rough to spend entire days writing and rewriting one paragraph of my teaching/diversity statement, but the finished versions make me feel so good about myself as a teacher #academia
