@champagneprachi @Arsenalpulp Super grateful for your kind words and even more grateful you’re knocking it put of the park with your own writing ✨🥰

Yesss fingers and toes crossed for good news in late February 🤞✨

[Léa Taranto @LeaTaranto]

Just sent out my first emerging writer grant application. Feeling dizzy and pukey vs excited and accomplished but at least it’s done!

[Léa Taranto @LeaTaranto]

@Nantanreikan Just threw up a little in my mouth. Please tell me that sign’s been taken down.

@AuthorGFAllen Maybe not useful but necessary, empathy

[Léa Taranto @LeaTaranto]

@IlanaMiraL Super agree! I think there are times when comma splices enhance the pacing beats of a sentence.

[Léa Taranto @LeaTaranto]

@bdcutkomp I feel the exact same way and have other writer friends, some with book deals, who do as well. I blame us living in a capitalist society where we’ve been conditioned to view our self worth as achievement based.

[Léa Taranto @LeaTaranto]

@knwhitton whoa, I hope that isn't common practice!

[Léa Taranto @LeaTaranto]

First form rejection for my novel. It stings but I still have my fingers and toes crossed for good news from the folks I haven't heard back from yet.

@pantsmclee Happy birthday! You are not alone in your bed time procrastination journey. I hardcore relate to being on this damn site too much when I should be sleeping.

@MordecaiPMartin It takes guts to admit when you're struggling and it's also generous in that it helps others in similar positions feel less alone. Please know that you are never alone and that your openness is appreciated.

[Léa Taranto @LeaTaranto]

@KavalAuthorActs She knows it too lol 😂

[Léa Taranto @LeaTaranto]

@RobSanders56 Fuck yes. I think every person ever experiences mental trauma to some degree. So for characters to feel like real people, and to fight against the stigma of neurodivergence/mental illness it needs to be written about with respect and compassion.
