I have to do an echocardiogram stress test this week so for the next couple of days, I'm not allowed to take my blood pressure medication. That's going to be real fun.

Did it hurt? When you took out that vibes scene and replaced it with actual plot?

Not gonna lie, most of what I know about classic literature I learned from Wishbone.
I just think we should cast Dev Patel in every adaptation of a classic. he can play any role in any book. he's this generation's Wishbone

Today, I went through a pumpkin spice car wash and I feel like we've officially lost the plot

Dear Internet- Would you like to make an autistic student filmmaker's day? My son is raising funds so he can direct a short film about a young viking warrior that is a metaphor for his experience with autism. If you're able to pitch in a dollar or two 🙏: shorturl.at/UYbAN

What about "I'm concerned about not making eye contact so now I'm making WAY TOO MUCH eye contact and oh god why can't I look away now??? autism"?

As someone w/ reading & writing disabilities who has traditionally published multiple books--6 of which were STOLEN to train AI--I can tell you it's downright insulting for @NaNoWriMo to claim theft & plagiarism are necessary for those of us w/ disabilities to be able to write
Been doing @NaNoWriMo since before I was published. Several of my books were drafted during it, even gone to local meetups, but after 15+ years, it's time to delete my account. You're not gonna finger-wag at creatives who have valid concerns about AI with, "Um, THAT'S ABLEIST."

Today at Target, I saw a guy wearing black harem-style capris with a black tank top & beanie meeting up with friends. One friend asked him, "Yo, you fight any demons today?" & the guy answered, "You know me. Always." As a YA author, I feel it's my duty to use this in a book.

my toxic editing trait is adding a sentence and then finding that exact same sentence two lines down

The thing I just can't get over with Bridgerton is all the horrible STDs these men must be giving their completely unsuspecting new brides.
