My favorite thing about Frankenstein 2025 is how perfectly they captured that energy of a woman being like "I am deeply disgusted by your morals and have nothing but contempt for the way you treat the world and am sick every time I think of you" and the man being like "owo ur thinking of me tho."

The damned in hell are not more powerful for the fact that the fires do not consume them; it is part and parcel of their torment.

I knew it was inevitable, but I thought I’d have more time…. My kid is playing a part of a video game for me because he’s better at it.

I don't know why we're all talking about editors today but I am deeply grateful to my editors. Not only do they make my final work cleaner and stronger, they make me a better writer. I have learned so much from their perspective! Editors rock!
