Why does one need a degree in accounting to fill out a W4???

Novellas are hard to sell in the trad space, they do well as indie projects usually, so I am not actively seeking to rep them. 💖

Yes I accept YA across all genres, the only thing I don’t really rep there are like the tearjerkers where everyone dies at the end.

I purposely knew I was listing everything out in thread form regardless and knew if people wanted they could zoom so it wasn’t a question of not being capable but a choice I made

Stories that feature a strong romantic element Morally gray MCs are my speed in the thriller space Stories that are feminist and intersectional Strong romantic arcs, sharp banter, and a joyful tone even when exploring grief or growth Any retelling “but make it gay” #mswl 6/6

Accessible fantasy that doesn’t require a PhD to understand Invisible chronic conditions “no body, no crime” comp Take familiar characters and upend their world and everything we thought we knew Stories that balance heart, humor, and hope with emotional authenticity #mswl 5/6

Anything Swiftie-coded—I love when music is behind the inspiration High concept stories that are just shy of bonkers CENTER SQUARE: JOY Gothics with light horror elements Mysteries that keep me guessing until the end #mswl 4/6

Stories that celebrate love in all its forms Romance that sweeps me off my feet—but he falls first A setting that is so atmospheric and compelling that it can also be considered a character too All the grumpy-sunshine tropes Voice-driven YA, crossover, and Adult Romance and Romantasy #mswl 3/6

I know defense wins championships but defensive battles are soooooo boring to watch. #lukewarmSB60take At least the half time show made up for it.

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.

We’re just getting the outer bands of Hurricane Erin in PR, but of course a little bit of rain knocked out the power. 🙄 Luckily the overcast skies and gusts of wind mean it’s not too hot.

Listen, the way the PJo reunion has taken over my whole personality is probably a sickness but like they were MY OTP ship. The way I sobbed through the DC finale to get to the BEST and most vindicating ending. Ah the early aughts, you will always be special to me.

Under normal circumstances I probably would have said something to the flight attendant but we had all just dealt with a 5 hour delay and none of us were making our connecting flights so I just put my noise canceling earbuds in and blasted an audiobook.

Eva Scalzo @evascalzo.bsky.social · 02/07/2025
Listen. I get it. Air travel is misery. BUT WHY HAVE PEOPLE SUDDENLY DECIDED ITS UNNECESSARY TO USE HEADPHONES?! Maybe this Reel is brightening your day Tiffany, but I DON’T WANT TO HEAR IT. And Drummond, I most definitely DID NOT NEED TO LISTEN to the FULL ON MOVIE YOU DECIDED TO WATCH ON BOARD!!

Long flights are a great time to catch up on the pile of unread manuscripts I have lurking on my phone. The best is when they’re absolutely bingeable.

This summer child is thrilled to be headed to 80+ degree weather. It’s April and it felt like 7 degrees outside this morning. That is not okay with me.

The number of hoops you are forced to jump through to get back money you put aside for precisely the purpose you’ve used it is one reason I gave up putting money in my FSA. It’s so infuriating I’m sorry.

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.

blue piece of graph paper decorates the bottom corner.

I was so half assed about planning our FF league that I ridiculously let our championship game come down to this week, but somehow I am winning and as long as LaPorta has a decent showing tonight I should be able to hold off my brother to win first place.
