I write MG and YA horror and horror-adjacent fiction (that's what the "frightens children" in my bio means 😂). My MG novel, out now, is about a disabled preteen monster hunter and I'm currently working on a YA dark comedy-horror came-back-wrong-trope book about the power of friendship vs. zombies.

As a Millennial back in school, I can say with certainty that the part of my brain that cannot remember probability equation formulas is the part that still remembers every word to the Hymn of the Royal Canadian Kilted Yaksmen from Ren & Stimpy.

A lot of times I drive for ten miles with the emergency brake on. That doesn't say a lot for me, but it really doesn't say a lot for the "emergency brake". It's really not an emergency brake, it's an emergency "make the car smell funny lever".
Everyone has one Mitch Hedberg joke stashed in their brain like a squirrel to sustain them whenever they need to feel joy for 30 seconds and mine is “they say the recipe for Sprite is Lemon and Lime but I tried to make it at home, there’s more to it than that”

You discover an orange cat.
Orange cat has babies, some orange.
They grow up, have babies.

Wow, there's a lot of orange cats!
Congrats, you just figured out why there's more Autistics than 50 yrs ago. Genetics, & being able to discover more orange cats- I mean diagnose Autistics.

I was selected in the second grade to represent my school at the regional "Young Writers' Conference." My entry was a blatant self-insert ghost story with me as the ghost.
Tell me an 'on brand' memory of your childhood.

Probably Alison Bechdel, in a now-defunct LGBTQ+ bookstore in Atlanta called Outwrite when she was on the Fun Home tour. There were promotional postcards and she drew a picture of me on the back of one.

I've been cagey about this since I look young and in this youth-obsessed industry hoped I could pass for one of the cool-kid rising stars instead of someone who'd been at it for decades before I broke through. But isn't that kind of the point of this? So... 42.
Authors, repost this with the age you published your first novel. I’m trying to see something.

I don’t like how ppl within our own country get pissy about the word y’all. It’s you + all. It follows all the rules of a proper contraction. But let’s get to the base of it. It’s rooted in the south so you think it’s wrong bc you think southerners are stupid.

When we searched Trump's executive orders & agencies for a clear definition of "DEI," there wasn't one. But after we looked at what's being targeted by MAGA resegregationists, the definition was clear:
DEI is their term for "something that doesn't help white people.."

There's so much to say about that awful anti-trans White House page but the way they put Professional Loser Riley Gaines on there... Girl. They could ban every trans woman and she still couldn't win the prize out of a Cracker Jack box.
