It’s interesting that in KPDH, people went from believing that demons were real to believing that they’re just “special effects” or cosplayers

Imagine being feared for years and now reduced to a mythical character. People are indifferent or don’t believe you exist 😭

Happy for my fav non-writer celebs when they publish a book. But I’m also side-eyeing them because they didn’t have to go through the normal hoops 🙃

Reading past rejections and tearing up over the ones that are encouraging and inviting me to query them with another book. It just takes one response to remind you to keep going 🥹

Frankenstein is the type of movie that should be released at the cinemas and not be limited

There’s only one cinema that will play it here. Why? 😭

Was excited to see a reply in my inbox finally from an agent I queried last year. But it was a rejection 😭

The lion doesn't concern herself with what her characters want, their pleas to be free of torment and yearning

I have nothing against cosy or light fantasy that are 100% escapism btw

My type of cosy fantasy starts off as cosy and then as the story goes on, reveals the true face of its world and how the cosiness came to be. All that cosiness, comforts or picture of serenity actually mask the horrors

The little cream on his nose is a cute touch. Put him in more fuzzy and warm modern romance dramas. Put him on cute book covers 🥹😭
