Uh...I just got a request for the first 50 pages from the agent of the writer who made me want to put fingers to keys 9 years ago and start writing horror fiction. #amquerying

This writing thing truly is all “Hills and valleys.” After a week of rejections, I got a career milestone in my inbox earlier. I’m definitely cracking open this bottle of Suntory tonight, Wednesday or no. 🎥🎬

34 today. Seems I survived another trip around the sun. Life’s hard, but I’m grateful to be living it. I improved a lot this year philosophically, physically, mentally, and remembered why I write: •Survival •Enjoyment •To reduce suffering in the reader and myself

Question for the agented authors in the room: Around how many queries did you send before gaining representation, and over how long? #amquerying #writerslife

Uh…I received an email from someone I’ve been compulsively refreshing my inbox for, and while it’s not surefire, it could be, and I should just be cool about it, but the potential for something awesome happening has exponentially grown. Is this ‘vague tweet’ enough for everyone?

There’s an insanely attractive gal who’s been in the office twice this week. We got to talking books/writing, and she asked for a signed copy next time I saw her. It’s busy this time of year, so on the last page I wrote her a note and left my number. “Whatever happens, happens.”

Not everything warrants some grandiose statement, but I’m hopping on between holiday beers to announce that I’ve requested, and received, the rights to Our Own Unique Affliction back from DarkLit Press. I wish all involved, and hell, everyone, better days.

Whenever I get a novel rejection, I send another query into the world. I feel like some degree of masochistic confidence in your work is necessary. #amquerying

Never a bad morning when a partial manuscript request turns into an enthusiastic full. "I've never seen anyone do this with possession before, excited to keep reading!" #amquerying

I know this could come back to bite me later, and I’ve tried to play it cool, but I just got a full request from an agent who reps one of my favorite writers… #amquerying

My grandma overheard me talking about Japanese teaware, (bit of a recent obsession), and gave me these. They’re easily 50+ years old, but probably older.

I’m typically a bit too forthcoming, so all I’ll say is that I had a nice conversation with my film agent just now.

I’d be hard-pressed to name my top 3 horror collections, but gun to my head, this would definitely be one of them. Every story pulls at my guts and heart, and this is the one that made me try my own hand at horror fiction around 6 years ago.

So I've been really into Asian films lately (Parasite, Aloners, On the Beach at Night Alone, etc), and I'm wondering what your favorites are. I need more, horror or otherwise.

It hasn’t set in yet, but I just watched this for the first time, and I think it blew my mind. Wouldn’t classify it as “Action & Adventure” though…

Flying high today after waking up to the most enthusiastic/personal full request I've ever gotten. It's nice when people resonate with what I'm putting down, weirdness and all. #amquerying

#amquerying update: I’ve been in the trenches for a little under seven months, and thought I’d share my experience/observations so far. 🧵

Earlier, a kid came in for an appointment. Our EHR is antiquated, and only allows patients to choose “male, female, or unknown.” Kid’s dad turned to them, “I know you’re non-binary, but what would you like here?” Kid hid their face behind their arm, “I’m a shroud. I am unknown.”
