The most unrealistic thing about zombie movies is the pretense that we wouldn’t be made to work right through it.

Hey Writing Community! I recently received a glowing review that ended in a pass. One concern was that "new-adult speculative fiction outside the romance-led space is a particularly narrow trade category." Should I respond to say I have a strong romantic subplot, or let it lie?

You know you were raised near Appalachia when you hear a random whistle outside at night and immediately tell yourself “no the fuck you didn’t.”

We need a finishing school for Boomers. Instead of teaching which fork to use or how to curtsy, it'd be like why you shouldn't email everyone all at once or how to format an internet post, including why all caps and random capitals are bad form. #BoomerFinishingSchool

LEGENDS & LATTES+ARSENIC&ADOBO+KISS HER ONCE FOR ME Invisible people are missing. Sounds like a punch line, but for El, it’s a case only she can solve. W/the help of a friend—& lover?—she scrambles to find the killer before the next name on his list is her own #QuestPit #Q #A #RF
Against a backdrop of misty London, a woman with a fauxhawk gazes at another woman who seems to be disappearing.  There is a title, FADE, at the top of the image, with the words "out of sight, out of mind" written in between the two women.

Those who are caught can’t remember anything. The government wiped their minds, & Mer wants to make sure it won’t happen again. But how will she escape govt agents, deal with betrayal, & let herself return a traitor’s love🌈 if the govt puts a chip in her head? #QuestPit #Q #NA
A tracking board, like one used by officials who are hunting down fugitives, features a collage of pictures on top of a map of New England.  Headshots of a nonbinary pilot and a woman are on the top of the board, with another picture of them kissing on the bottom right.  The board also shows a golden, old-fashioned plane that they used to escape.  There is a picture of a microchip off to one side that shows the woman fighting a government agent, and a picture on the other side that is marked "top secret."  In the center of the board is a gif of the woman holding a gun and pointing it at the viewer.  She smirks and says “it’s good to see you, too.”  The following message is scrawled across a scrap of paper at the top of the board: “in a game of mind-control, love and choice are always a memory apart.”

When an invisible woman saves El’s life, she thinks she’s crazy. But Anne is real & in the middle of a real mystery: invisible people are disappearing. El dives into the mystery—& a romance with Anne—but will competing interests blind her until it’s too late? #QuestPit #Q #A #RF

HUNGER GAMES+FOREST RUNNERS+THE PRINCESS BRIDE It started as a simple love story: 1 spy, 1 gal, & 1 govt mind-control chip designed to wipe memories. Add out-of-control agents & a secret rebellion—plus betrayal & ptsd—and this meet just got a whole lot less cute. #QuestPit #Q #NA

The elderly man next to me at the coffee shop keeps commenting on what women (staff and patrons alike) are doing, and it doesn’t seem cute or charming…it seems like fucking patriarchy.

When a straight woman says she prefers the strong, silent type, it’s because every time a man opens his mouth around her it’s to say something sexist and/or sexual.

Been tossing and turning for ages, so evidently it’s cs;gw (can’t sleep; gotta write) time. But since my cat is currently sleeping on one of my arms (that’s right—it’s your Friendly Neighborhood Childless Cat Lady™️ here), that rules out novel/script work and just leaves posts. 🧵1/7
