First draft written in 2016 & 12 yrs later THIS. IS. HAPPENING!!! So grateful that @literaticat.bsky.social, Emily Feinberg, and Fifth Color Press/Macmillan took a chance on this EXTREMELY weird and dark book. I am so excited to see what me and the wickedly hilarious Vera Brosgol create together!

I always forget to post here, but I've been pretty busy with my dad's physical and speech therapy, and work. But a couple of weeks ago, I finished this filet crochet while taking a break from the big one. It looks so pretty! 🧶🌷

Next week marks one year since my dad had a stroke (and it’s also my mom’s birthday). We’re still doing physical therapy every day, and he’s slowly improving in speech therapy. It’s been a really strange year—sometimes it feels like a long time, and other times, just the opposite.

I'm always dizzy, so at first I didn't realize what was happening until my mom told me. There was no damage where I live, but it was quite noticeable and lasted several minutes.

Took Mom to the ER because she fell and hurt her hip. Scans came back negative for a break (so grateful!), but she’s heavily bruised and advised to take it easy for the next two weeks. That will be really hard on us financially, so if you could boost that would be such a help!

Back when #PitMad was a thing, I wrote my official #EgoClub rules for online pitch contests, and I used to jump into the chat with my intentional obliviousness (& encourage it in others) every time a pitch party rolled around. #KidLitChat Here are the rules, in case anyone needs them!!

header: Illustration of Veronica Bartles on the left and a ghost at a typewriter on the right against a blue background with text that says "Veronica Bartles' #EgoClub Rules for Online Pitch Contests"
Rule #1: ALL Positive Posts from Judges are About You!
Is one of the judges gushing about the most amazing manuscript they’ve ever seen? It was yours. Did one mention that they literally laughed out loud at the last entry they read? Obviously yours. They said they’re reading the best paranormal romance ever written, and you submitted a historical thriller? Still yours!! Every positive post that comes from one of the judges is a secretly-coded love letter written just for you. Because You Are Awesome.
