To all the Yeti volunteers. They bagged my socks and taped them closed under my shoes. Their quick medical attention saved my frostbit fingers after the race. A stranger took care of me as I laid on the bathroom floor, incapacitated and hypothermic. Ultras aren’t just miles, they’re community.

30 miles at the TARCTIC Frozen Yeti. During a snowstorm. Temps dropped to -10 after dark. Hard-won, but I’m proud of my effort! ❤️ #ultrarunning #runners #newengland 📸 by Chris Arson Photography

@breefram.bsky.social I heard you on NPR’s 1a today and thought you were incredible. Thank you for sharing your story, and for your bravery while serving the US. Americans like me are behind you!

“This is a highly subjective industry, and although your book isn’t the best fit for me, another agent may feel differently.” Also, “A pass from one at our agency is a pass from all.” Ummmm…ok? 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️ #amquerying #litagents

Rejection on a full: “It met my expectations, but did not exceed them.” 💔❤️‍🩹💔 #amquerying #litagents #writing

The thought of making a mood board for a pitch event makes me moody. In a bad way. #amquerying #litagent

PSA for writers: if a publisher dangles a contract offer but first wants to know how many of your own books you plan to buy...your answer will 100% determine whether you actually get the contract. Along w/ things like not paying royalties till production costs recouped, this is stealth vanity pub

What if today we staged a full rebellion? No errands, no emails, no chores. Just us, books, and the totally unhinged idea that we can glue our shattered hearts back together with nothing but words and audacity.

You know what’s my favorite? Finding the perfect agent with a #mswl that matches my book perfectly, only to discover they’re closed to submissions. That’s my favorite. For sure. #litagent #amquerying

I understand #litagents are often overwhelmed by pitches. However, I wish they’d limit how many weeks/months a year they’re open to queries instead of only accepting pitches at conferences/events. This equates to making writers pay to pitch. Am I the only person who’s not ok with this? #amquerying
