Kudos to the people who keep writing when the day job is non-stop. I don’t know how you do it

Highlight from my final term: thesis professor’s feedback that I should add a gay interspecies sex scene into my final (right where it was meant to go before I got anxious and had pulled it). This professor is not missing a damn beat…

Can’t stop thinking about credit card reward points are the real life equivalent of putting points into your bartering/charisma stat.

Worst part about higher ed as an adult: remembering that you still have to work 40hrs a week during summer break #mfa #student #wompwomp

I feel like I haven’t seen a Pepsi in years. Or even heard someone say it out loud.

Registering for my final full MFA classes (just a thesis course after) feels odd. Like there’s so much more learning to do, but I have to enter the real world (of writing) anyway.

Well. I was right x2. It’s a man, laying in bed with a Kirby doll, watching me from across the street. Gonna just process this info for a hot minute

[Eli Breakstop-Kings @Breakstopkings]

Thought my new neighbor had been watching me from his window across the street. Now thinking it might actually just be a large Kirby doll on a bed. Not 100% convinced yet

Anthropomorphic mc being referred to as a furry in a workshop critique… can’t decide which of us is getting called out more with that feedback 🤣🤣🤣😅

I wish apps had a left-handed mode.

She thought the boy would be more crestfallen, but the news of his father’s passing didn’t earn more than a shrug and a mellow grunt.

@fasterhorses @Reveal_House I’m months late in seeing this but it’s a noise Midwesterners make instead of “sorry” or “my bad”

[Eli Breakstop-Kings @Breakstopkings]

Writerly thoughts: I like “ope” more than “sorry.” It’s like sorry-lite. Recognizing something as an error but not being apologetic (of course, sorry would still be used when appropriate)

In my first class where everyone seems to hate every single reading. How can you not like LaValle?

@cnnbrk It’s been 20 minutes and the Education system is already doing better

[Eli Breakstop-Kings @Breakstopkings]

I swear I’m still in my MFA program, though my Twitter might not show it haha

Trump was an asshat to the very end, but let’s see what’s next for us, America. I’ve got my fingers crossed for police and government acountability and maybe free labradoodles.

The bf and I are just far apart enough in age to both recall Bewitched but one of us in black and white and the other in color.
