As a horror author, you know what I find truly terrifying? The medical and pharmacy conglomerates in America. Every interaction when trying to get a diagnosis or even a prescription is an utter nightmare.

Just tried to leave a professional voicemail for work and stumbled over my words about 3 times. (Gimme a break, it's a Monday!) Hung up and realized this time next year I may be giving public readings of my novel. If I can't leave a voicemail how will I manage that! 😱

Thanks and best to you too! It is tough, but my thought was if I love writing and was going to keep doing it, might as well keep sending queries. A no can't take the massive accomplishment of your story away.💜

Oh my gosh so long! I'll have to do one of those recaps but basically 1st book 2x, then this 2nd book for 100+ queries with so many close calls and CNRs on fulls.

Watched Mars Attacks again for the first time in 10ish years last night. It held up! Absolutely still a banger of a movie 🛸

I'm not allowed to have caffeine today because of a doctor's appointment. But what's the point if I can't survive without it? If I die from a lack of caffeine, it will all have been for nothing.

I do not understand telling creatives to "shut up about politics." One, this is life in this world. You can acknowledge being part of it, or you can pretend you're immune until you find out you're wrong. Two, there are plenty of creatives doing the latter. If you don't like us, follow them 🤷‍♀️

👀I queried you with my feminist, 90s inspired slasher with a dramatic flair. 🔪 Love the Scream Queens callout. That show was a classic and doesn't get enough love.

NYC Pride had been doing it up to 5k. Point of Pride does it occasionally. The Trevor Project has a drop-down where a lot of employers are preregistered to match. My employer does matching but it has to show the non-profit directly.

Hey I lieu of sending to you via PayPal can we donate directly to a trans youth non-profit and forward a screenshot of that donation? I've seen some opportunities for matching donations but they have to have a screenshot of the direct donation.

What I have to say to people who ask why I am still on these apps: They want to silent dissent. They want their voices and beliefs to be the loudest. If I voluntarily leave these apps then I am ceding my loudest platform & I am done retreating. Holding the line here. Joyfully.

Bryan MacCormack, the executive director of a New York-based immigrant rights group, was pulled over by CBP with two undocumented passengers in the vehicle. He knew his rights, refused to acknowledge their "warrant", and despite CBP threatening him, the agents eventually were forced to let him go.

I keep forgetting Bluesky exists. I've barely even posted to Instagram lately. Maybe my subconscious is trying to tell me to step back from social media in 2025?

Just a friendly reminder for literary agents that my birthday is coming up in 8 days 🎂 So, if you want to request a full, or better yet offer rep on one of the fulls already out there, it'd be an awesome present 🎁💝😂
