Me and my best friend saw the Smashing Pumpkins when they toured for Mellon Collie back in 1996. Now the two of us are going to see Billy Corgan perform that album at the Lyric Opera. And I found the shirt I bought back in 1996 in a box of old clothes! Victory! I know what I'm gonna wear!

I got a spam email today from someone who raved about MIGHTY MILLIE NOVAK and said she wanted to help it reach more readers. Very AI-speak vibe. I know I could have ignored it, but I decided to set a trap instead.

Neither of these scenes exist.

I just re-read the first query I ever wrote, wayyy back in 2007.

Friends, it is not great. 💀

It's good to know I've gotten better at this in the last 18 years. I still like the ferret, though.

Hey everyone! I am indeed looking for an agent for my adult suspense, CHERRY LAKE, so I thought it'd be fun to make and share an agent guide. Let me know what you think!

How you can tell my newest manuscript takes place in the Midwest.

I thought I'd share the pitch deck I made for TIMELESS, my bonkers "girls in STEM/time travel/vintage clothes/bi love triangle" YA. Let me if you like it! 🙂 👗 ⏱️ 💙💜🩷

Told my nephews about my new WIP, an adult thriller. Here's a pic of the pitch.

10-yo nephew: thinks the title should be MYSTERY AT THE BEACH.

7-yo nephew: thinks he knows what happens. They dug a hole and were hiding in the sand. Or they took a secret elevator into the 1920s.

@jchenwriter.bsky.social I thought you'd appreciate the problem I'm putting on the physics test I'm writing. :-)

OK, I am very new to using Bluesky. How is interacting going? Are people seeing your posts? For example—what do you think of my outfit I'm wearing today, for my birthday? (Are fun-colored blazers the way to get interactions?)

Anybody want to hang out (and write) in Slovenia with me next summer?

Texted my husband to ask him to make me tea. He replied as shown. My phone then suggested some responses. There's a long way to go before the robot takeover.

He looks so adorably dopey when he doesn't realize his tongue is sticking out of his snout.

TONIGHT! I'm being interviewed on the Derby Rocz show on Rochester Free Radio in Rochester, New York. You can listen live from their website (link in my bio), and it will be available to listen to later as a podcast, too!

And by "Fall 2024" I mean LITERALLY ONE YEAR FROM TODAY.

Don't forget! Get your roller derby name (or the derby name you wish you had) in my upcoming young adult novel!

Your derby name in my light-hearted sapphic YA roller derby novel, MIGHTY MILLIE NOVAK! Share this post, follow me, and enter at this link: https://forms.gle/4bfYJH1iv2XpJEdY9… Don't play derby? That's ok, submit the derby name you always wanted! :-)

Making my first post in here count. I am so excited to announce the publication of MIGHTY MILLIE NOVAK, a queer roller derby YA of big hits, bigger crushes, crazy schemes, and bold dreams. I can't wait for you to meet Millie!
