#FirstDraftFall Accountability thread: I'm starting a new series that I'm excited about but was having a hard time working on, despite loving the new characters, concept, etc. I realized one of the protagonists needs to have her perfect life wrecked before I can move forward. THIS I can do.

On the *same day* the Cornell Seven drugged and raped Jane Doe, Cornell banned four students (including the President of Cornell JVP) from campus for three years for nonviolent, pro-Palestine protests. The same Cornell officials let the rapists off with apology essays.

I always swear I'm going to write standalones that somehow turn into a series. I'm hoping Much Ado About Murder will be the 1st installment of a successful cozy mystery series called The Lipstick Detectives. #WeeknightWriters #FirstDraftFall

#pretendpanel It's just fun, man. 🤷‍♀️ Even through all the struggle and self doubt, I never fail to get a kick out of it. (I blame maladaptive daydreaming lol) Also, I like making people laugh and making things they will enjoy. Ain't it great that we can all share in that fun together?

#pretendpanel Literal reason: Too much energy, too many stories in my head, I need to feel productive/be creative Philosophical reason: Do I have a choice? I write because I have to. Because there are stories inside me that demand to be told, so I might as well put them to paper. #WritingPrompts

I grew up in a reading house. Writing my own stories felt natural until I went away to college & decided to "grow up." 20 years later, I began dabbing again, & it was like finding the door to my own neglected secret garden. It just needing tending. #pretendpanel ##writingcommunity #writers #authors

Welcome to my corner of the sky! I write, I craft, I work on my small farm, occasionally I play DND and video games, but most of the time I forget what I’m doing and have to reload to the the last quick save to remember. If you need me I’m off to do…something. I can’t remember what it was though.

A simple line drawing of a two panel comic strip.
In the top panel the stick man puts a single round cake on a table next to a much more elaborately decorated two layer cake. He says “Aw man that guy’s cake is way better than mine.”
The panel below it shows the same cakes with a different stick man who is holding a fork in one hand and a butter knife in the other. They say “Holy shit!” Two cakes!” With a very happy look on their face.

new pinned post 🧵 hellooooooo I'm E (they/she) the #author of THE LORD OF THE WOOD (2026) and THE KEEPER OF LONELY SPIRITS (2025), as well as various short stories more links are threaded, but here's a link to more info about about my two current novels: www.harpercollins.com/blogs/author...

E.M. Anderson's The Lord of the Wood and The Keeper of Lonely Spirits against a starry night background, above a link: ElizMAnderson(dot)Com(slash)Links. The Lord of the Wood's cover is blue, paler at the center and darker at the edges, with a stag of flowers and foliage growing from a twisted tree with flowers growing around it and black ooze dripping from a branch overhead. the title "The Lord of the Wood" is in large white serif text to the left, with foliage growing through the letters closest to the tree, and the author "E.M. Anderson" is in all-caps yellow text at the bottom. the tagline, in smaller yellow text, reads, "Even a beastly woodland protector needs saving..." The Keeper of Lonely Spirits's cover features a lonely cottage, surrounded by headstones, with smoke drifting from the chimney, atop a tall green hill dotted with trees and yellow flowers, against a starry sky. the title "The Keeper of Lonely Spirits" is centered in all-caps sans-serif yellow text, with "E.M." Anderson in smaller white text at the bottom. Tagline in still smaller text at the top reads, "Living forever can be mighty lonesome."

"When lonely clockmaker Arthur Throckmorton loses his way in an enchanted forest, he meets the hero of his childhood bedtime stories: the Lord of the Wood. But instead of the mythical figure of his dreams, the Lord of the Wood is a grim man turning into a beast and losing power over a dying forest. If they can’t save the forest before he becomes a beast completely, Arthur will lose the man he's falling for—and never see his family again." E.M. Anderson's The Lord of the Wood: out now. The cover is blue, paler at the center and darker at the edges, with a central image of a stag of foliage and flowers growing from a tree whose upper branches drip black ooze and the tagline, "Even a beastly woodland protector needs saving..." Text and book cover are in a translucent textbox against a photo of a silhouetted stag in a misty golden meadow.

"An old man cursed with immortality hunts ghosts rather than making mortal friends who will die one day. When residents of an Ohio town beset by a vengeful spirit adopt him as their own, he must decide: leave to protect his heart, or stay to save their lives?" EM. Anderson's The Keeper of Lonely Spirits: out now. The cover features a lonely cottage, surrounded by headstones, with smoke drifting from the chimney, atop a tall green hill dotted with trees and yellow flowers, against a starry sky, wiht the tagline, "Living forever can be mighty lonesome..." Text and cover in a translucent textbox against a photo of yellow flowers in the sunset.

A5: Lucy Beckett's opinion of her agent: "Stacy was still my agent because she was like a Moray eel. She had the one set of shiny sharp teeth she showed the world, and a second pharyngeal jaw that slid out when you least expected it, pulling her prey into her wide, pretty throat." #WeeknightWriters
