He glared in drunken frustration at his countless mirrored selves, the queue stretching into the dark. The wordless, hungry curiosity. He wouldn’t accept ‘impossible,’ so it ceased to be. And there I was, waiting, locked away, waiting for a fool to open the tunnel. #SpookyStory

I’m broken.

And I PRAY you will share my words so there can be more positivity here. A thread:

I’ve been bombarded with hate messages the last few days. I’ve been accused of supporting AI from an author which has resulted in absolute devastation to me…

[LJ Donnell @KingsConfessor]

#Narcos really out here making me cry over drug dealers AND crooked cops smh. Like I expected to cry over kids with guns and a gorgeous country bleeding and the inescapable arc of a tragedy even in victory… but really. *Spoiler name?* I gotta get my shit together. #Storytelling

Hiding out from my own thorny personality and shitty attitude in 2-5 different books. #amreading

[LJ Donnell @KingsConfessor]

@punished_cait reading this is what a stroke feels like

[LJ Donnell @KingsConfessor]

I have my #toread list, and while a lot of them are on my kindle I like having a little huddle of choices by my bed. you know. in case I want to keep making the tragic mistake of reading 9 books at once.

[LJ Donnell @KingsConfessor]

@aguerom1 agree on all counts, but what song are you referring to specifically?

[LJ Donnell @KingsConfessor]

@MorganHzlwood you’re a doll.

I spent two hours trying to beautify my query letter and honestly I am so frustrated I just want a gatorade, a good cry, some animal crossing, and a nap. #amquerying. I also spent a long time researching and setting up a timeline. I’ve been so responsible.

[LJ Donnell @KingsConfessor]

So can I write ridiculous scenes out of order and brainstorm the FUN part of the book now? I ate my collards and my lean poultry, I just want cake.

I think if #ColmMcGuinness were to sing “She Is Like The Swallow” I would honestly never recover. It would rip my heart right out.

[LJ Donnell @KingsConfessor]

I sing to touch stars in the dark. I sing and sing, play any instrument I find. I count out notes, tinge mathematics with color and sound. I sing when talking hurts and my heart’s muffled. When I can’t, It’s like I’m watching breath escape in bubbles to the surface while I sink.

I am watching Spy x Family for the first time, and I promise you that this line is parenting in a nutshell: “I AM BEING SOLD TO TRAFFICKERS!” “Not if you behave!!” #SpyFamily

[LJ Donnell @KingsConfessor]

[LJ Donnell @KingsConfessor]
