Hearing that Adam Driver was working on a film to bring Ben Solo back really sheds a new light onto his 2020 interview at the Santa Barbara Film Festival.

"I might as well have just been sobbing."
"I hadn't processed."
"I try not to think about it."

“We presented the script to Lucasfilm. They loved the idea. They totally understood our angle and why we were doing it,” Driver says. “We took it to Bob Iger and Alan Bergman and they said no. They didn’t see how Ben Solo was alive. And that was that... “It was called ‘The Hunt for Ben Solo.’” Damn.

After five years of trying to get my friends to listen to k-pop I go to church this weekend to find out that, not only did this group of 30+ year old men watch k-pop demon hunters before I did, but they were listening to the soundtrack while at the gym 😂

Friends, if anyone on here sneers at em dashes being used in professional writing as a sign of AI, I'm just going to beg you to read anything from the BEFORE days. The reason AI overuses em dashes is that the people it stole from overuse em dashes. It was trained on 15 of my solely-em-dash books.

How it feels to query for a literary agent featuring my favorite k-drama memes.

Well, after four years of working on this project, I'm finally going to start sending query letters out for a literary agent. 😬

Had to sacrifice my drama-watching time for writing time so hopefully it was worth it 😂

Trying to be chill but I just finished my manuscript after a year of writing and gave it to my first beta readers.

Why is it so terrifying having people read your work??

Alright book fans, I have a question for you.

My friends and I have agreed to each submit a suggestion for book by an author we haven't read before and we're going to draw one of the book suggestions out of a hat for all of us to read (1/2)
