Writer. Photographer. Reader. Introvert masquerading as an extrovert. Often wittier after the fact, always funnier in my head.
Thanks! I've mostly been off socials since Twitter was rudely ripped away from us, but @jomariebankston.bsky.social has nudged me back! 😂

I’m Becky and I write YA. My ideal retreat would have to be somewhere quiet, without my kids or husband interrupting every 5 minutes, maybe a beach cottage along Lake Michigan or an old dreamy apartment in Tuscany.

Same! Except I’d rather my beach be less tropical, to avoid the tourists!

I MADE A MURDER BOARD!! :) I’d been wanting to make one, so this current story idea was created for it. I also have a board with a timeline and one with index cards filled with scene notes.
Otherwise, I jot ideas and notes everywhere, in notebooks, on my phone, in docs.

I like high concept books if they are fast-paced. Otherwise the writing can make the whole thing drag. I like quiet books if there is a point the author is making and it’s not just a long-winded monologue.

I saw a job listing for a lit agent’s assistant recently, and reading the description, I thought there was no way I’d do that, but so glad there are people who want to!

Yes, big changes ahead, and even though I’d love for her to pick the college that is close, I also want her to pick the one that is hours away.

I suppose anyone, as long as it wasn’t me. I’d stumble over the words, even though I wrote them!
