YA author, reader, book lover, nerd of words. occasionally does the wife and mother thing, mostly hides in office and squints at screens. she/her

I’ve said it before, but anyone working in YA today owes Stephenie Meyer a massive debt. The Twilight books (and HP) brought an entire generation of people back/into reading, and many of them stayed

(Still on my boy Damon tho, just sayin)

Adulthood is just so very overrated. Sure, you can eat ice cream for dinner, but you're also supposed to know what you're doing?? Doesn't seem like a fair trade.

Now these fuckers are trying to reboot perfection

@ashley_bochman I made lists of dream jobs and ranked them, my mum recently showed them to me. Top one during childhood: author, middle grade: singer, highschool: architect. I've really come full circle, wish I'd listened to little me and not wasted $60k on a piece of paper I'm not using

@MarcusCVance My MC's mom died when she was a child, her and her dad are super close and he goes with her on her adventure

@MA_Habib_writer They get the death glare. 💯 My SO regularly asks this thinking upon finishing we will be Rowling rich. He's in for a nasty shock when he finds out the truth 😂

Life is too short for shitty WiFi

[J.A. Knaack @JAKnaack]

@SarahFettke It depends on your platform, I bought Scrivener on a rec for win and loved it but there's no Android app or any real built in cross platform support, I do most of my writing at work or on the go that it mostly goes to waste for me although it does make compiling easy when done

"Editing is it's becoming" is poetic af and I love it

The #Writing Process:
1. Thinking about writing
2. Procrastinating about writing
3. Reading about writing
4. Tweeting about writing
5. *sobbing hysterically*

[kat should be writing @kat_tastic]

i've been experiencing so many writing mood swings lately. one minute i'll think my wip is brilliant! groundbreaking! amazing! then the next minute it's AWFUL and BROKEN and I SHOULD QUIT. i'm getting whiplash from going back and forth so fast but IT'S FINE EVERYTHING'S FINE

[Victoria/V.E. Schwab @veschwab]

To every single one of you who reads, who tweets, who videos, who bookstagrams, or readathons, or chats, or boosts the books you love: thank you.

[Karen M. McManus Updates @writerkmc]

Am at a party w/a condescending academic who said "young adult murder mysteries? you can make a living writing those?" so I busted out the NYT list & he said "I can't read that, 88 what?" and I said "weeks on the list" and then I bowed like Katniss and went to talk to the dog.
