i went from drafting something new to jumping into dev edits to slipping into revisions for *something* to diving headfirst into pass pages. there have been absolutely no breathers this season & it's because exciting things are coming in 2026. 👀

i literally did not give 2 shits about awards, lists, or prizes until i saw how much weight everyone *else* places on awards, lists, and prizes. and that's a great example of how social media can do writers a disservice.
my dream CAME TRUE! i will celebrate that, regardless of external validation

the UK cover of my fucked up body horror about a tradwife influencer who has a demonic, hungry baby is SO COOL. and relevant.
if you read the book, you'll see i have some *thoughts* about social media's relationship with the rise of tradwife culture. 👀

look if you're picking up a book called SERIAL KILLER SUPPORT GROUP and then tagging me to complain it's "unrealistic," i kinda feel like that's on you. the title makes it very clear what you're getting into lol.

i often wonder if there's another industry that's as much of a mindfuck as publishing is. probably acting/modeling, since there's an added layer there of what you physically look like, but there is something SO intense about publishing that's hard to explain to those not actively in it.
