Cute: Binding your spouse's unpublished book and giving it to them because you want to put it on the shelf and they deserve it.
Wrong: Making a financial and business decision for your spouse that they have explicitly said no to.

After letting it live in my basement for far too long, I've finally cleaned off my antique secretary and moved it upstairs as my full time writing desk.
What do you think? What should I put in the cubbies?

Yesterday someone I helped with a free query critique told me they got an agent because of my help.
There is nothing, NOTHING in the world that feels better than knowing you helped someone get one step closer to their dream.
I never charge. We're a community. 💗

I have NEVER been more sickened than I am about hearing about Freydis. I thought we were cool.
During the Cardigan situation, she would bitch at me as Harlowe and then, while I was vulnerable with her, send me messages reminding me that I was wrong to question him. 1/2

One of the biggest pieces of advice I was given when I started was to celebrate every milestone.
Tonight, I celebrated being agented.
Thank you to everyone who came out, sent me a message of congratulations, or just showed support.
I'm so excited to go on this journey.

Being agented does not make you a better writer/more worthy of praise/better at the industry/any more qualified than anyone else out there.
We're all basically three badgers in a trenchcoat writing our stories.

So hold on---two days before the wedding, when she's already bought them meals and paid for them they backed out? Just because they weren't serving alcohol?
Sorry, no, that's pretty crappy. These are supposed to be your FRIENDS.

It doesn't matter if your snippet gets a hundred likes. It doesn't matter if your pitch gets noticed. It doesn't matter if your moodboard is perfect.
I'm proud of you for writing. It is so hard to put yourself out there and do it. Keep going, you beautiful star child. 💗

On binding: it were just a boyfriend, maybe. Marriages are a little more complex and if it were just bound and unpublished, it's the thought that counts, and they should talk about it.
This is a violation of her intellectual property.

I don't know, in what reality, people who are disabled have "special needs". Last time I checked, needs like:
Work
Healthcare
Housing
Time
Are not "special". They're needs and everyone should advocate for them.

I wanted to put my two cents in about Cardigan:
The cult of Cardigan was ruled by fear. They had pull in the industry. They seemed to know everyone. Agents you wanted to query seemed to love them.

Hey y'all. I'm in my vague era, here to tell you that it's okay to have typos. I did.
Your agents aren't reading it for perfection. They're reading it for your story. You'll be okay!!!
Me, checking my full before sending it out only to find it absolutely riddled with typos after sending it out to the last agent who requested it 🥴🙃

People bind fanfiction they love all the time and rebind books. That's for personal love and affection.
This is a business choice and taking her words to make money from. That's violating intellectual property.

Happy Pride, everyone. 🌈
Remember, LGBT always has the T, using the right pronouns is just polite, and NB sometimes looks like me.
Celebrate your way and follow your arrow wherever it points.

I'm trying to understand why you think being trans is like a cult. There is no leadership to being trans. There is community, but many are not in it, like being gay.
The way you are phrasing does remind me of the early 90s, as does the way you speak about OP.

My ex scared me off camping, making me feel miserable the whole time. This weekend ruled, despite rain, barbed wire, and Amazon sending us a gallon of fabric softener instead of an air mattress. I know that camping isn't about the experience, it's about who you do it with. 💗

YELLOWJACKETS x IT
Twenty years ago, they made a pact never to talk about what they saw in the woods of Tennessee.
Now, they've returned to the town they swore to stay away from to face the evil that tore them apart and solve the death of one of their own.

They went for a black (immensely talented) man whose sexuality is none of your damn business. And considering the history of black face and yellow face in Doctor Who in the 70's, it's really well past time!
I'm just psyched to see him, he's going to be amazing.

The only thing better than watching your own book do well is watching your colleagues and friends get excited about their books.
Yes, I am screaming as you figure out your plotlines. I'm crying as your characters fall in love. I'm feral for your stories.

I am pretty professional on my Twitter, with the occasional fun post. You need to make sure editors and agents can see your work.
This entire situation is a breach of trust, showing a deep-seated power imbalance in the literary world that has been brewing since Cardigan.

I cannot begin to discuss the satisfying ending of Pet by

Akwaeke Emezi. A girl in a Utopia without monsters meets a creature from her mother's painting that tells her a monster lives in her best friend's house. So incredible, I can't recommend this book enough.

I am a very prolific follower. I like people, and if we interact, I'll probably follow you.
I do not tolerate homophobia, transphobia, bullying, or racism. I try to give people the benefit of the doubt, but if you're out hurting people, you don't belong in my spaces.

This isn't surprising. The only censored Quantum Leap episode in the 1990s was the one that focused on homosexuality and the Don't Ask Don't Tell policy.

They're incredible drugs. The receptor attaches to the PDL-1 and basically tells your body that cancer is bad so it goes to fight it.

I'm working on a space horror.
90 days in space alone. It's just him and the computer. The computer is on his side. The computer cares.
The computer cares a lot.
When he needs to return home and escape becomes a priority, the computer doesn't want him to leave.
Ever.

Querying is hard. It's tough. I queried two manuscripts over the course of a year.
It takes one person to believe in your work.
I know that sounds trite. I know it sounds like something you've heard before and it sounds exhausting, but when you find them, you'll know.
YES querying is hard. I think I sent my first query out in 2020? 1st manuscript was terrible, 2nd was okay (it received a few requests), 3rd was better (13 request! No offer though), 🎪 WIP is number 4 & is doing pretty well so far 👀
I’m here for the long haul 🤍

Helping someone get the most out of their novel is such a rewarding experience, and the novel I worked on this week WILL get published one day, I just know it. Being a tough beta reader just takes it outta you.
