I missed my connecting flight by 2 MINUTES through no fault of my own. So now I’m in the Detroit airport hotel and have the room to myself and have turned the heat up to 76 and am basking in it. Mind you, my partner believes perfect sleeping temp is 67 degrees. I just sleep in long pants always.

I’ve never been one for writing flash fiction but tonight I had a plot bunny that began on another flight and I couldn’t stop thinking about it. So it was the perfect thing to do while waiting for this plane to take off.

Randomly decided to reread DEVIL IN WINTER and two things are still true. I ADORE Lisa Kleypas and St. Vincent is most definitely one of my favorite redeemed villains of all time.

I’ve been in Frankfurt for less than an hour and already two different people have asked me for help/directions. I am walking around with a giant suitcase so I’m not sure why anyone would trust me for those but so far I seem to have helped.

I had to wake up at 6:45 AM to help get the kids ready for school. First I overslept. Then I had to take a Zofran because I was so nauseated I could barely function. Then I curled back up in bed and took naps until now. I am so the opposite of a morning person that trying to become one might kill me

Listen, I’m reading this second chance romance because it’s the third book in a series and there’s a second trilogy that picks up after this book that I am interested in continuing and I’m just like, maybe I’ll DNF this one and skip ahead. I just am not a second chance girlie.

I’ve been partially convinced that I had some sort of tumor in my throat but apparently what I have is a globus sensation which is due to the severe acid reflux and stress and anxiety I’ve been dealing with the last month. I would like it to all go away.

Have you heard? Never Leave, Never Lie is getting a new special edition thanks to @marleysmustreadsbymm . This special edition feels especially special (😅)because our collaboration began the day after the election.

A wooden desk top with a roll of paper spanning the length. A crumpled piece of paper in the shape of a cloud says: Marley's Must Reads by MM Never Leave, Never Lie collab

A blue book has text on it that says: february box. Other titles: Lovers by Fiona Cole, Love Me Whole by Nicky James. Buy Now! Closes 1/15

Folded origami paper hearts are scattered over the image wiith a larger one with text on it that says: one time box purchase available, I'm also donating my proceeds to the trevor project.

I went down a rabbit hole reading the comments to some of the Blake Lively stuff and man, I do not have the energy to block everyone but like the number of people who hold on to disinformation is frankly terrifying and explains so much about where we are as a country.

Had to go to the dentist for a sealant on a tooth which was not at all a big deal but now all my other teeth feel weird even though the dentist didn’t touch them. Is this like teeth’s version of sympathy pains? The whole thing wasn’t even painful. It was the most lowkey dental appointment ever.

Agreed, and tho I’d never recommend this, if you want to burn several thousand dollars you’re better off with an actual vanity like Atmosphere Press (which charges a similar amount). Wish I had $1 for every publishing “disruptor” that’s now out of business

Hey authors! If your agent isn't an @aalitagents.bsky.social member, they (and you!) aren't benefiting from all the hard work we are doing behind the scenes, like the alert on the HC licensing deal that the AI Special Committee issued last night, mentioned in this story:

publishersweekly.com

Agents, Authors Question HarperCollins AI Deal

HarperCollins has become the first Big Five publisher to strike an AI licensing deal, which authors and agents appear to be approaching with caution, skepticism, and a measure of hope.

There’s nothing more special than getting a revision back from a client and it all snapping into place!! Agenting—like life—is full of its ups and downs, but moments like this remind me why I do it. The joy in helping a writer break through and elevate their work, it’s indescribable.

Eva Scalzo @evascalzo.bsky.social · 17/11/2024

Over time on the bad place, I had stopped sharing, because people could take up arms over the most innocuous strings of thought. Starting over on socials is weird because I’ve learned so much caution—which isn’t a bad thing—but also can feel inauthentic to who I actually am.

People keep asking me how I’m doing, and I’m like “I’m fine what are you talking about. Everything is fine.” Meanwhile my bank account is over here like “Girl, the world isn’t ending but you’re spending like it is.”
