(When I tell you how I’ve dreamed of this moment… 🥹) My dark comedy about periods, endometriosis, invisible illness, and friendship in the face of record-breaking PMS has been acquired by K. Delaney @ Crown BFYR/@randomhousekids! (+ short 🧵 of gratitude)

Always an angel; never a god. OOOOF. Boygenius is apparently the entirety of my capacity for emotion this week.

How long does one get to soak in the announcemen-glow phase before diving in to a two act rewrite? Askin’ cause I’m baskin’ (unless you’re my editor and then I’m defo already working on it 100% and this tweet is for entertainment purposes only). 😂😅😬😭

Awhile back I tweeted about never having operated with another Black female surgeon - this week I got to be that senior for one of our juniors #BlackGirlMagic #ILookLikeASurgeon

This book is basically chapter after chapter of iykyk. 🩸 I cannot wait to share this mess with you… I really can’t. Thank you so much, Kelly at Crown BFYR (@randomhousekids), and Moe, @inthesestones at @bookendslit. Thanks, @PWKidsBookshelf! (And on a Tuesday, too!? 🥹)

I set it down. Sure. I got tangled in it. I let it wrap me in knots until all I wanted to do was break it in two... but when I'd healed enough, I picked it back up. And that meant the possibilities were still there. Just enough to not be dead. (which is enough to be alive.)

I have survived so much, and I am so proud that I'm still here, still fighting, still breathing. I'm so glad I didn't let go. And I'm very humbled that you didn't let go either. Thank you so much for your faith and encouragement over these many years of development. <3

While we are at it: people that menstruate deserve SUPPORT. They deserve to be believed by their physicians. If you know your period is exceptional, please don’t give up the fight for medical care, and please don’t go silent no matter how many doctors it takes.

Honestly, bless all the plant parents out there whose tweets are soothing my raging soul as I read about the new leaf drama (+ navigate my own NL trauma flashbacks).

Just when I'm mad enough to explode out of my chair, I'll see some pure soul posting a photo of their monster plant's new growth and can breathe again for a sec.

Hey, also, I have survived this exact New Leaf pain and have the joy of announcing a deal today on the other side of this trauma. Please DM me if you need to talk, cry, or vent. I have been there. I know how scared you are. I know how full of doubt you may be. I see you.
