THIS IS THE THING I GET TO ANNOUNCE! 2-book deal! Dell from Penguin Random House! The Blue Moon Cafe & 24-Hour Occult Emporium!
I'm filling out my Penguin Random House author questionnaire and I'm in the "social media" section and feeling laughably underqualified. I like the apps for the snacks they teach me about!

Look, ma! My book is mentioned on a substack! I had no idea whether or not my goofy little Blue Moon Cafe & 24-HR Occult Emporium would sell (I really REALLY wanted it to) but I did know one thing--I loved the shit out of my story

Should I publish under a pen name? Or should I publish under my real name and maybe never be able to safely visit my father's homeland? I wrote a blog about it:

Things I like about my cozy sapphic Stars Hollow + secret magical creature witness protection in the town's worst coffee shop romance....
- my sweet beautiful oblivious MC
- her LI who is the love child of Leslie Knope & Anne Perkins
- the snobby corgi
- the misty NorCal fall vibes
- FOOD

Is this dress too white for a formal beach wedding? I'm going to be the Persian ceremony officiant & bride's only direction was possibly jewel-tones but whatever I feel "radiant" & comfortable in.

I know what I'm learning toward (not this dress) but nothing is real until you ask you the internet!

Signed the contract--I'm officially a Penguin Random House author! I get to use cute emojis when talking about my publisher! My sapphic cozy magical coffee shop debut is coming in 2026!

being a writer feels slightly insane right now. "oh time to hallucinate a bit and write it down in a document in case we're still publishing books about chaotic bisexuals in 2026" 🤣

just told the group chat that this job requires the relentless belief that anything will matter in 12-18 months.

Omg I just watched the train ZOOMING towards the platform while a pigeon just hung out on the track in front of it and I yelled “BRO MOVE” and the pigeon moved but now the people think I’m the weird train person they’ll be commuting with today where is face palm/melt & disappear into nothing emoji

I spent my lunch calling my representatives (insert joke about millennials making phone calls) and am pleased to report that voicemail boxes were FULL so now I'm going to EMAIL!
