I’m author Wyatt Blackwood and I have two personalities. My debut horror novel, LONG ISLAND MEMORIAL, will be published whenever it finds a good home.
Well, my horror novel is officially on submission to publishers and the list is terrifying. Also, I had no idea three were so many more horror publishers than fantasy.
I know I'm supposed to ignore this and get to work on the next novel, but it's kinda eating my brain.

What the ever-loving fuck?!
This was just posted by @tbretc.bsky.social on another platform. The Chicago Sun-Times obviously gets ChatGPT to write a ‘summer reads’ feature almost entirely made up of real authors but completely fake books. What are we coming to?

My imposter syndrome is well-earned and correct because how could I be a real writer if I'm not even a real person?!
My lack of an imposter syndrome is well-earned and correct because I'd actually hafta be a real writer to think I was somehow faking it.
My imposter syndrome is well-earned and correct because, as one of the 'smart' kids, I built huge expectations for myself and did everything 'right' and it still didn't result in what I expected so any attempt to try something new makes me wonder how I'll fail this time even if things go well.

Life is strange. I have an agent at a respectable literary agency and LONG ISLAND MEMORIAL will soon be shopped to publishers. Both brain cells are stressing about what might and might not happen even though, at this point, it's utterly out of my hands.
Sanity.
Awesome.

Luckily, I am a sane and stable human, and waiting for book-related stuff to happen is not at all going to break my brain.
Uncertainty is happiness.
Not knowing the future means I can pretend it might be better than the past.

LONG ISLAND MEMORIAL is out for editing and should be back in my mad hands by mid-December. Once it's polished, the hunt will begin for an unstable literary agent with poor decision-making skills.

Surely fame and fortune will follow.
