The 'Hennies' were more than friends – they were family. But by graduation, Cleo was dead. Ethan was in prison. And Jordan was cut off. But after Ethan is exonerated and Cleo’s case reopened, what will Jordan do when the other Hennies become the prime suspects?

Turns out part of my creative process while writing a Sapphic romcom involves watching the kissing scenes in Heated Rivalry and Heartstopper.

So, you know. Fuck it. Keep doing it. If nothing else, the world might not want it or need it, but YOU do. And you matter, too.

"There are many manuscripts already—worthy ones, most edifying and moving ones, intelligent and powerful ones. Why not shoot yourself, actually, rather than finish one more excellent manuscript on which to gag the world?" - Dillard

I love this quote. In, like, a positive way🧵

[Clarissa Marques is querying @byCMarques]

No one is forcing us to write. Sometimes it comes down to the refusal to let something as small as no one actually needing your art dictate what you do with it

[Clarissa Marques is querying @byCMarques]

I mean, sure. There will be better books out there. The world is already full of books. So why do we keep writing? Why do *I* keep writing?
