I love writing about food and I'm shocked, SHOCKED, to tell you I never write about rice in this manuscript. So, here's a little women behaving badly around noodles instead. Delicious. #WIPSnips #amquerying
Black words on a light purple background read: I stare into my soup, willing it to boil. Now that my bowl was assembled, it wouldn’t be as good reheated. I had only taken a bite, but my appetite evaporates until it is steam gusting from my ears. Color drains from my vision until the food is a taupe blur. There are no thoughts that remind me to be good; there is no impulse that freezes my arm from swiping the bowl to the floor. Noodles slop against the wall, warm broth splashes my ankles, and I don’t check if the bowl has broken badly, but glare at the table where my dinner once was.

I gasp and my hand flinches all the way hitting my forehead as I’ve over committed to movement. Slowly, the nothingness releases me and I begin to see stars, astronomical stars, beyond the canopy of familiar oaks. I stare at my hand, no trace of an injury, as my fingers wiggle into focus. #WIPSnips

Mya is destined to become a black hole. And now that she’s lost her job and access to psych meds, that trajectory is on a speedrun. So when she meets an alien in the chaparral that warns of impending human extinction she must decide if her mind can be trusted to save the world. #DVpit #A #SFF #H #MH

I wrote this book so teens could read and know at least one adult would look them in the eye, agree that it's all so fucked up, and give them space to be fucking furious. Now Squad is one of my most banned books.

#askDV it seems crossover may be popular right now, but what is your advice for pitching manuscripts that may straddle a few genres?

The strap catches on my hair, biting a few strands loose as I try to adjust it. It’s a good sign of my wellness that this simple nuisance does not set me tumbling into a full-blown meltdown. I grab my phone, if only for the photo opportunity, and strap on my sneakers. #WIPSnips

I cannot say this enough. If you are currently doing life-affirming work and organizing in your communities, keep doing that work. People who are working their asses off keep reaching out to me asking what more they should do. YOU ARE DOING IT.

Sea breeze whips my hair as a flutter of gulls surf the jet stream under my feet. I’ve been here before so it is easy to taste the salt on my lips, inhale the sour air with a faint scent of rust. Every gust lifts me from my seat as if flying is just as much an option as falling. #WIPSnips

I'm intrigued! I am wondering since there seems to be a speculative bent here how Lee is "bound." Just by familial duty or something more? I think "too bad about the prophecy" works in its vagueness, but I feel like I want to know more about what being "covened" means

Hello! I'm curious about the stakes here why the evolution matters. If they're trying to exterminate the aliens, it isn't inherently clear why they'd care about the evolution

Otherself wants Mya dead. And now that she’s lost her insurance, Mya is on her own to manage her #PMDD. Hallucinating aliens with visions of the extinction of humanity isn't ideal. But when Mya’s dog sees the alien too, she realizes it might not be just her mind that’s falling apart. #preDV #A #SFF

For a MC who deals with an alternate version of herself every month, this was a hard selection. Surprised actually that this was my preferred snip. Donno, I must be feeling sassy today... 😜#WIPSnips #month
Black text on light purple reads: 
Even with Ollie our good days seemed behind us. In the beginning we collided like two asteroids pulled out of orbit. It was easier to merge my being and Otherself’s desires. When she wanted it, we could sate us both with the novelty of my flesh. A blur of tangled sheets, She’d arch into his mouth, greedy and unashamed.  And I’d luxuriate in pure sensation, my spinning mind finally finding a reason to shut up. Once, there had been edges of me yet to be mapped. 
Had I become so stale in so few months?

Ooh, this was a hard one. Wine is practically a secondary character... From CH 1: My favorite image of an exasperated-looking cat with the caption, ‘Don’t whine about it now when you can wine about it later’ taunts me. Everything finds its way swiftly into the shredder. #WIPsnips #wine

So wiped but had a wonderful time today at the SD #Writers Fest and picked up some new (signed ofc) books for the bookshelf I still don’t have. 💕 Perhaps the struggling artist trope persists cause we all can’t seem to spend our last dime on other’s art. #easycomeeasygo
