@_forbookssake Thank you Danni! I'm so honoured you enjoyed it so much 😊

writers and readers trade in different currencies for measuring the length of a book actually

[Leon Kemp @leonloveslit]

clown to clown communication is actually a writer saying "my new novel is 80 thousand words" and a reader replying "ok.....how many pages is that?"

[Leon Kemp @leonloveslit]

@KailenRenae I recently also transitioned from agented back to querying. It's a tough transition, and anybody who acts like it's a reflection on you as a writer isn't worth the braincell they wasted on that thought❤️

@pinereadsreview Thank you!!

@bethrevis I have fantastic memories of sitting in on PartyLite parties and sniffing the candles. Obviously, MLMS bad, we don't support, but those memories of passing around little candle samples are still fond for me

Had a dream my book accidentally got released four months early and none of the purchases counted towards my first week sales. Writer nightmares are really next level huh.

[Leon Kemp @leonloveslit]

"leon, will you ever write a story that doesn't have even the faintest allusions to religious imagery and trauma?" I hear you ask. no. the answer is no. I spent five years in one as a queer child, and now everybody will reap the fallout of that.

happy national "hit your bad guy with a car" day to all who celebrate
