Semi-update: I’m still on semi-hiatus but I’m still writing (some might say too much). And there will be *things happening* at some point this year. Like Mutopians 2! A cyberpunky book about a sad assassin! Maybe even something else…

[SJ Whitby @sjwhitbywrites]

@shatterboxin there’s a scene I have planned for mutopians 3 which is exactly about this 🥺🥺

Authors have to: draft, research, read, revise, dev edit, line edit, copy edit, build & manage author sites, blog posts, content across multiple social media platforms w/ diff mediums for each, answer emails, make phone calls, schedule meetings, 1/?

[SJ Whitby @sjwhitbywrites]

also i’m mostly not on twitter so if I’m quiet it’s because I deleted it off my phone for a bit 😅

[SJ Whitby @sjwhitbywrites]

@SteelHester @laurenbajek YOU KNOW HOW HAPPY I AM TO SEE THIS

so proud of you 🥺🥺🥺🥺

[SJ Whitby @sjwhitbywrites]

I have read multiple iterations of this book plus other things Hester has done because she is brilliant and honestly why did it take so long for this to happen? The true horror is among us after all

[name cannot be blank @SteelHester]

Friends fear she and her EAT PRAY LOVECRAFT backpacker horror are now represented by @laurenbajek of Liza Dawson Associates

111604 words and 28 days later, the first draft of THE MOST PERFECT VERSION OF US is complete 😭😭😭

one day you may meet Dandelion Rook, multiversal seer and expert piner, and Vex Saturday, feral enby lesbian who is terrible at everything except murder

for now they rest 🖤💖

[SJ Whitby @sjwhitbywrites]

@slangwrites ahhh omg congratulations!! this is so exciting!

[SJ Whitby @sjwhitbywrites]

like i understand that going from “this might be the best thing ive ever written” to “this is complete irredeemable garbage and why i am i even writing” is my brain playing tricks on me but it’s still a hell of a thing

[SJ Whitby @sjwhitbywrites]

the urge to put the next mutopians book and random CM alternate universe stories up as raw drafts on patron/for free so i don’t have to revise anything 😭

[SJ Whitby @sjwhitbywrites]

@wenyilee_ @bylaylanoor i’m obsessed with this show

[SJ Whitby @sjwhitbywrites]

@Clareyrobwrites Congratulations! So exciting! Hope you are all doing okay 💖

[SJ Whitby @sjwhitbywrites]

two things

1) i’ve hit my 90k camp nano goal even though the book isn’t close to done 🫠
2) i’m obsessed with the boygenius album like i haven’t been with anything since laurel hell

[SJ Whitby @sjwhitbywrites]

@JustinePWinans ahhh congratulations!!!

[SJ Whitby @sjwhitbywrites]

boy this album is genius 🥺

[SJ Whitby @sjwhitbywrites]

feels like this book is interiority: the novel
