First they came for the immigrants, and I spoke out, because I’ve read the damn poem before and I know how it ends.

regardless of how creative you want to be, we still live in the framework of having to make money to live. that can make it harder to slow down and give projects the time to breathe.
You are better off letting it breathe than trying to suffocate yourself finishing something.

Writing is an act of rebellion.
Writing is an act of creation.
Writing is an act of salvation.
Writing is an act of exploration.
Writing is an act of emotion.
Writing is an act of confession.
Writing is an act of speculation.
Writing is an act of reflection.
Keep writing.

it's Jane Austen's 249th birthday and I hope you'll celebrate by taking a turn about the room, developing a passion for dead leaves, inadvertently falling in love with the last person you could ever be prevailed upon to marry.

How to Write a Synopsis: A 🧵 for querying authors
A synopsis is more than just a plot summary. It’s another hook in your tacklebox. It should showcase your story’s emotional arc, nuanced characters, and narrative logic. But you can pick and choose what to highlight.

so i went to my friend's production of Hamlet last night. When it got to Ophelia's flower scene, the actor for Ophelia handed flowers out, as she does. What made this special was the fact that the first flower, rosemary, for remembrance, she handed to ME! in the audience!

currently researching agents to query to represent DAWNLESS, my upper YA fantasy Sleeping Beauty retelling. It's so fun and exciting to think that someday one of these (or multiple) of these agents will love DAWNLESS as much as I do :) (my pitch is below if you're interested!)
