Writers please tap in!

I wanna go back into sharing musings in a newsletter type of thing, but I wanna protect some stuff like writing snippets behind a paywall

I used to have a Substack, but I’m not huge fan of the platform. I’ve also considered Patreon and Kofi

Thoughts?

I remember my ex not liking the first chapter of a first draft I wrote once and complaining about the female MC not having any agency in it

I was like “bitch this is a coming-of-age story, that’s the whole POINT”

Every time I look at publishing industry stuff I think about how it’s basically Sunnyside Daycare from Toy Story 3

*inhales* MY SEQUEL IS BOOK-SHAPED!! ✨

Or well, mostly book-shaped! These are advance reader copies, which I wasn’t expecting to get! These copies are missing some of the polish of the final book, but it is a story in full & I am overjoyed to have it in this form 🥰

ASHFIRE is out April 15, 2025!

I can never take a wasian guy seriously, I asked one for his Instagram and he gave me “Connor McGregor” (he was not in fact Conor McGregor nor was his name even Connor or McGregor)

Very specific book ask: I’m looking for fictional books that have scenes where the characters work with an intimacy coordinator/director/etc. I know there was one in YOU HAD ME AT HOLA so anything along those lines helps

I’ll also take advice from irl intimacy coordinators too!

Several hundred pro-palestinian Jews now arrested by NYPD.

Those being led away can still be heard chanting "Not in our name!" and asking for ceasefire.

I think a lot of people were expecting the road to genocide would be a sharp turn that they could boldly object to rather than simply a continuation of the policies and ideas they already sign off on.

Authors, if you think Scholastic's "separate but equal" book fair plan is, perhaps, a BAD idea, please consider signing this open letter to them about it:

Indigenous People’s Day is a good time to stand with Palestine.

This is a must read if you're confused about who the Palestinians are.

TL;DR: We are the Indigenous people of the holy land, recognized even by our colonizers as the descendants of the ancient Hebrews. The recognition of this fact changed for political reasons.

Funny how when my ex broke up with me, I couldn’t get a haircut but I got a lighter balayage instead since I needed my hair long and touched up for my sister’s upcoming wedding

But once it was the new year you know that shit got chopped off (and the color was refreshed)

Anyone have any favorite DECAF coffee they like to make at home? I just got gifted an iced coffee maker and while I love an iced coffee every now and then, I think it’s safer to have decaf if I wanna use this regularly 😅
