I’m proud because my book was an instant bestseller! And I’m also sad that the world is on fire. This feels like a tiny light. But I shall accept light of all sizes.

I hope you have a twinkling lighthouse too, my friends.

When I was 12, I wrote @stephenking a fan letter. "You might as well answer now because I'm going to write until you do. It would save a lot of time," I said. Well, my friends, that precocious 12-year-old girl is very happy right now because HER FIRST SPOOKY STORY IS ENTERING THE WORLD! @scholastic

That feeling when you want to leap into a book and stop a character from doing something really really foolish. @taekeller.bsky.social

I am on a train and can only use my phone rn, so AMA. Alternately, one like = one writing tip or book publishing opinion.

To kick things off: prologues are fine as long as they’re shorter than 1000 words and not redundant with Chapter 1!
