I’ve never really been a podcast kind of person, but I’d like to be. Does anyone have any recommendations for good podcasts that get you excited?

When a writer’s conference sends you a demanding list of things they want you to do while only offering a pittance for the work, my answer is always going to be no, especially as a BIPOC agent. Agents and other faculty deserve to be paid fairly for their work at conferences.

Hey, so this happened. There’s not many occasions where agents can get flowers from the pub industry, especially BIPOC agents, so I just wanted to pop on here to say that I’m honored. 💕 www.publishersweekly.com/pw/by-topic/...

I’m going to need publishing to ramp up buying again because me and one of my cats are having dental emergencies this month. Paying for it all feels impossible. 🥺

Lately, I’ve been having quite a few querying writers cross professional boundaries in order to jump the queue. Please do not try to send things to my home address, my personal email, or go through colleagues that I know. It’s scary, invasive, and will result in an automatic no.

One thing that makes me really sad about publishing is when marginalized authors receive messages from young readers about being able to identify with a character and story for the first time, but it means absolutely nothing to a publisher for next books if sales numbers aren’t high enough. 😔

I’m so torn on whether I should clean out my closet or do something fun this weekend. I desperately need to reorganize my closet and get rid of old clothes, but also, who wants to spend their long weekend doing that? 😭

Penny Moore @pennymoore.bsky.social · 31/08/2023

Friend told me about the most recent ridiculous publishing discourse on that other app, and I’m so glad I don’t go there anymore. Some people really need to stop projecting on agents and go outside and touch grass. 😮‍💨

Whenever you get a rotisserie chicken from the grocery store, just know your cats will always get their fair share. I live with big time spoiled brats. 😼😸

It’s hard figuring out if I’m becoming a slower reader/editor because: 1) I’m getting old? 2) If it’s just a side effect of covid? 3) Or maybe it’s both? It doesn’t make this job easier either way.

Sometimes the only joy I feel is when I can give my cat tummy scritches.

My anxiety levels have gone way down since I stopped logging on to Twitter. And yes, I still refuse to call it by that other name.

I’ve restarted my Korean skincare routine again after spending months of being lazy, and I can never get over the difference when I actually do put in the effort. As a geriatric millennial, I should definitely not slack on this. 🫠

Still thinking about how earlier this year there was an article telling people to save money by not eating breakfast, & then there was one stating that death is an option to be free of student loans. This world really hates poor people and won’t acknowledge the disease that late stage capitalism is.

I’m proud of myself for getting rid of three of my streaming services to save money. I still have four left, but I don’t count Prime because it’s included in my Amazon membership.

Am I making it for dinner tonight again? You bet! Best thing is this awful summer heat! And I’ve got a pint of gelato for dessert to celebrate some good news. 💖

I’ve been making mul naengmyeon, Korean noodles in a cold broth every single night for dinner this past week and it’s been the best and most refreshing thing ever. 🍜

I still can’t get over how much the price of eggs have increased this year. You go to the grocery store and just want a dozen eggs but then they’re like “that’ll be 1 million dollars!” 😭

I have one Crime Child and one Snack Master General. They are both a handful but they are the best. ❤️

I’m lucky that I can pay my rent on time, but I hate how my building management loves to send out frequent reminders that if you’re one day late with your rent, they will charge a 10% penalty fee. I feel bad for the people who might need a little grace bc sometimes things out of our control happen.

Just went to kickboxing class and enjoyed a red bean bun afterward. Now I’m about to dive into a delightful client project. Not bad for a Tuesday.

How do you make new friends as a geriatric millennial? Everyone I know my age is married with kids. People have suggested taking a new hobby class, but I’m trying to save money. Others have suggested book clubs, but that’s too close to the job.

A tribute to Paul Reubens by The Alamo saying every single day since 1985, visitors have asked if there's a basement to the Alamo because of Pee-Wee's Big Adventure.

RIP Paul Reubens. I had a lot of joy watching Pee Wee’s Playhouse and Pee Wee’s big adventure as a kid. Nobody taught me how to annoy my older sister with the phrase “I know what you are but what am I,” better than you. 💔

It’s always funny when one otaku recognizes another. My building maintenance guy came by to fix my smoke alarm, and he noticed I had One Piece streaming in the background so we ended up talking about anime for 20 mins after he fixed my alarm. lol
