Attended my first online Shut Up & Write today:
✅ wrote for a full hour
✅ added new layers to my short story
✅ accidentally outed my very Southern Kentucky accent

10/10 would do it again. If you use these kinds of sessions, how do you make the most of them?

Sometimes the worst part isn’t the rejection email. It’s the 10 minutes before, when you let yourself believe your whole life is about to change. #amwriting #shortstory

Hi, I’m Julia Elizabeth May. I write queer fiction about comics, waiters & the people who love them.

Current project: Saturday Nights at The Laugh Riot featuring found family, bad decisions & stage lights.

Expect drafts, deadlines & fictional disasters.

Snuck in my Daily 5: Joe Sheppard, an audition hallway, and a wall of headshots staring him down.
Tiny progress, but the story’s still breathing.

I submitted a short story today. 🥹
I’m excited (and terrified) to share Jasper and Tony with the world.
