it's insane to me that trump was like "yeah dw u can say I'm a fascist" ???? and also the one reporter trying to dig at him completely seriously like "why didn't u take the bus instead of a plane" tf what a joke

I know this question also asked about my colleagues at Belcastro, so if you'd like I can pass this question on and report back!

heart this post if u wanna hear from them too? 💜✨

sometimes it's "this is too normal i want smth more exciting rn" where the contemporary romance query might have a really cute and good sample, but my brain is begging for something DARK AND MOODY

so while i go thru queries from oldest to newest, once I've seen all of them i tend to jump around

the "right now" phase can be anything btw!

for example, i love fantasy SO MUCH but sometimes i just got thru reading like 10 other fantasy samples and my brain doesnt want to read another 5 chapter "breadcrumb trail of worldbuilding" and just wants smth contemporary i can be dropped into!

same thought when i was watching the press junket with mamdani today bc what was that

if livestreams aren't an option with my laptop, then maybe idk. ama's on here or reddit or smth. tbh maybe even tumblr bc at least that way the questions and advice are searchable and archived better than here and i can tag based on subject.

so maybe a 10-20 minute totally informal talk on a publishing-related subject, whether writing, editorial, processes, contracts, whatever! and then time for questions but also just chatting?

like, incredibly informal advice livestreams.

adhd needs variety, and as someone who initially went into publishing with the intention of going into book and magazine design for covers and interiors, i want to use that skill. reading and editing gives me a lot of joy, but so does graphic design, so why not both!

anyway y'all should follow my branding business on instagram. i took a break from posting there last week and this week because i wanna know what's most valuable/helpful for y'all and what you want my advice content to focus on.

so tell me: what do you want to know?

(you can, of course, start branding and marketing as a budding and hopeful future published author if you want to do content creation as a writer and document the entire process or something, but u DON'T NEED TO)
