i often wonder if there's another industry that's as much of a mindfuck as publishing is. probably acting/modeling, since there's an added layer there of what you physically look like, but there is something SO intense about publishing that's hard to explain to those not actively in it.

my contemporary gothic horror A THOUSAND MONSTROUS FORMS is going to be published next fall! ATMF was written in 2024, but the idea—a sapphic retelling of “Bluebeard” that doubles as an homage to Edmund Spenser’s “The Faerie Queene”—has been in my head since college & i can't wait to share it 💙

in the new episode of bob's burgers, bob is talking to a performer about how if he reaches just one person with his art, it's worth it. and the performer is like "well, ideally it's more than one person, that's so few" and that's EXACTLY how i feel about being an author. 😂

i'm not an audiobook person, but the audiobook for SKSG is FANTASTIC. both the narrators are clearly having a lot of fun with the characters & it low-key made me fall in love with this book all over again after having to read it with my eyeballs 600x in 6 months.

when your books are accused of "furthering the liberal agenda" because they *checks notes* feature flawed, morally gray women who struggle living in the prescribed boxes society has forced upon them. yes, thanks for noticing! 🥰

being an author is just a constant cycle of feeling like you're yelling "NOTICE MY BOOK PLEASE" and then cringing away from Being Perceived when people finally do.
