I've been on this road a long time...

Stationery paper and star stickers over a green background. Text: "My whole life, there've only ever been two things I've wanted to be..."

1. a faery

Scrapbook style page includes a photo of a messy-haired girl in a pink faery costume, holding a watering can ("garden faery, age 5"), a young woman in a white dress and faery wings ("age 19"), and a doodle ("drawn by a friend, age 15") that includes "Marley is a fairy! or a ghost"

2. a writer

Scrapbook style page includes a photo of a little girl sitting at a desk and holding up a writing utensil ("age 5"), cramped little kid writing ("diary entry, age 7, declaring plans to publish a book"), and a cut out from a black and white senior magazine ("voted 'most likely to be the next great author' in high school")

"Guess I'll settle for being a writer of faery books" (smiley face)

Shows cover of THE BONE BRIDES, by Marley Rose-Teter, and a photo of the author holding three ARCs, labeled "a debut novelist!"

i feel like if you post a negative goodreads review where you say a young adult book felt like it was written for young people, you should have to pay a fine or something.

This is Bodie. His presence indicates the beginning of Pride Month. May his whimsy and steadfastness bring joy and confidence to all. 14/10 the parade starts right behind him 🌈🐾 (IG: hellobodie)

a golden retriever puppy on a bright pink rope leash prances through some tall grass. he’s wearing a brightly patterned bandana around his neck and is carrying a miniature six-stripe pride flag in his mouth. his front right paw is raised mid-stride, like he’s ready to hop into a pride parade at any second.

The more I garden, the more I realize it’s a lot like writing a book. When it isn’t working, it’s because I don’t know what I’m doing. But when it IS working, oh boy, I still don’t know what I’m doing.

Hope you had a great long weekend! Time to get back at it! Last week, HR 2616 grabbed some book banning language from HR 7661 & passed the House. What is HR 2616? Don't feel bad if this is the first you've heard of it because Republicans moved fast on it. Here's the deal...

Kim Davis going from "my religious beliefs demand that I don't facilitate a same-sex marriages" to "my religious beliefs demand that there are NO same-sex marriages anywhere" *should* make Democrats realize there is no "sincere" compromise with bigots on trans issues.

Could we maybe just acknowledge that people do things differently and there doesn't have to be a Most Correct Way to do everything? (sincerely, a snoozer who needs extra time to wake up her brain or she gets anxiety)

There are a lot of people on there who just want free ARCs, and in order to keep getting them from publishers, they have to have a certain percentage of books reviewed. It's awful, to put it mildly.

Update: I've been so confused about the part where it said Addie's mom didn't recognize her upon their return to Villon, so I googled it, and it's a random detail from VE Schwab's The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue. This is all a bunch of gross plot sausage ground up and spit out by the machine.

aaaand now it's lying about another one of my books, which is NOT SET IN MAINE. At this point I decided to stop wasting water but I can only imagine how much weirder this could have gotten.

Nicole Lesperance @niclesperance.bsky.social · 15/06/2025

I was curious about this Villon place, which is brand new information to me

Chatgpt says the book "does not mention a place called Villon" but it's possible it's a setting for one of my other books like The Wide Starlight, which "is set in a coastal town in Maine."

Nicole Lesperance @niclesperance.bsky.social · 15/06/2025

There is no square dancing in the book, her mom is very much not dead. It continued on:

A long paragraph with vague themes and the words "upon their return to Villon"

Nicole Lesperance @niclesperance.bsky.social · 15/06/2025

I decided to ask chatgpt some questions about one of my books, and the whole experience was extremely surreal 🧵

A chatgpt prompt where I ask about the significance of square dancing in my book The Depths, and it hallucinates an answer about Addie square dancing with her late mother.

Oof, I'm so sorry, it is the absolute worst. I highly recommend borrowing a knee scooter if you can find one (the council on aging in my town lends them out). Being able to move while using your hands is hugely helpful.

Every Harry Potter book or shirt you buy directly funds the persecution of trans people. There's absolutely no excuse to support anything Harry Potter anymore unless you hate trans people.
