Heyyyy, everyone. I’m going to be at the Precinct in DTLA for the Queerlastic Book Fair! I’ll be giving away books I wrote, bookmarks, candy, and some extra treats you’ll have to see to for yourself :) It’s this Saturday the 29th from 2-8pm.

A quick reminder for writers:

Proofreading catches small errors.
Editing strengthens your writing.

They aren't the same, and your manuscript may need more than just a spell check.

Save this for when you're preparing to publish.

Before you edit a chapter, write down what emotion you want readers to leave with.

Now edit until every scene supports that emotion.

Every. Single. Time I read a book

[Pelumi @Msliterarylover]

Reading makes me happy, talking about books makes me happy, going to the bookstore makes me happy, and taking pictures of my books makes me happier.

@peegzy1 *For money. I love what I do but I feel like I could do more if I didn’t need money to survive

@ThebookishC Any book about queer people. I was raised super religious so I was never able to read any books about queer people

Unpopular opinion: Straight quotes are a waste of time UNLESS the commas are also straight. Otherwise what’s the point?? I get distracted by the curly comma but the straight quote 😭

• Leave a thoughtful comment on a post in your niche today.
• Then write a short post about what stood out, and why it sparked something for you.
• Tag the creator if it feels natural.

Be careful out there, y’all. There’s a person going by the name Karen Gonzalez who is trying to scam freelancers.

@adhdgeminii I’m collecting them like infinity stones

You don’t need to buy physical versions of books to be a “real bookworm”

It’s crazy that in regular speech we use directionals all the time but in writing I cut them out: “Float up,” “sit down,” “jump up,” and more.

They directionals are completely redundant so that’s why they’re removed during copy edits, but irl it sounds weird NOT to say them.

[JMC.Editing @JMCEditing]

There are times where I work every day for months straight, so having longer breaks feels soooo weird 😬
