Dusted off an old manuscript and discovered to my surprise it’s not bad. Needs some work but it’s got good bones.
I’m having fun writing again. Win.

I've spent the last 20 minutes staring at my detailed chapter outline, trying to decide the exact method of how my MMC will break into a building. Just writer life. 😭 #AmWriting #AmEditing #WritingCommunity

Congrats Amy!!!
Release day!!! 🥳 This is a dream I’ve had since I was ten years old, or even younger. My book is not just a document on my computer, but a finished product that’s actually for sale. That’s truly incredible to me. I’m so grateful to everyone who’s preordered it, read it, & posted about it.

A podcast called "Are You Mad at Me?" where I call everyone I know and ask them if they're mad at me, and once we get to a "yes" I immediately hang up and panic about every interaction l've ever had with them and that's the show

I don't know who needs to hear this, but stop giving your expertise away for free.

The conscious choice to help someone is great - but just spraying knowledge out in these streets without being compensated for what you know?

Make 2025 the year you learn your value.

I missed it when it happened, but it appears I’ve crossed the 2,000 citations mark on Google Scholar!

Writing is a lot like weight training. You won't be able to lift a lot at first. You start small. Short session, light weights. Day by day though you get just a *little* stronger. Eventually your sessions get longer, the bars get heavier, and everyone says "I could never do that." Just like you did.

Imma need some of you to think about thriving out of spite. I had big plans for 2025 and I’m definitely not gonna pre-derail them for likes of Elin and Tromp. I’m getting more involved. Loving harder. Writing hornier. Having more fun. I’m gonna be so kind to my neighbors, bitch.

This is how you become a writer: just pick one of the things that is deeply wrong with you. Make it a character. Now send it on a self-help journey or try to kill it. Now call it a book.
