@chillsubs Everyone’s been rejected, it doesn’t mean your work is bad. Look up famous authors’ publication rejections; it’ll make you feel 1000 times better!

[Jessica Mendoza @JessMProse]

I’m kind of in the mood to write some kind of romance. It’s not my typical genre, but it might be fun to dip my toes into writing a love story!

[Jessica Mendoza @JessMProse]

Working on a syllabus for the first time is rough! 😮‍💨

[Lighthouse @LighthouseJrnl]

For my fellow Black writers: is it difficult for you to write about the racism you've experienced?

[Jessica Mendoza @JessMProse]

I just published Conference Paper: Painful Growing: Black Scholars Within the Damaging Chrysalis of Academia https://t.co/DHcUvLHEf0

I'm always looking for new tutoring jobs! Honestly, tutoring is so fun and rewarding.

[Jessica Mendoza @JessMProse]

Not everything needs to be solved, or explained, or understood, or fully realized. Art is often at its best when it's ambiguous and up for interpretation, and the desire to make everything fully understandable can lead to incuriosity.

[Jessica Mendoza @JessMProse]

Does anyone have any tips for keeping and maintaining a blog?

[Jessica Mendoza @JessMProse]

Grimy magical realism, for sure!

[Indie Book Spotlight @BookSpotlight]

okay, here's a fun challenge: invent a genre for your books.

i'm gonna call my books 'grimhope' cos they're all angst and drama and dark as heck until the happy(ish) endings

go~

[Jessica Mendoza @JessMProse]

@jodyjsperling I would, and I would make it an anti-capitalist critique. Nowhere in your offer does it state that I can't criticize Coca Cola.

[Jessica Mendoza @JessMProse]

@katieemorann More often than I really should, honestly 😔

[Jessica Mendoza @JessMProse]

@KupcakeProse I love a Moscow Mule!
