I write words. Many of those words are available for free across @wattpad, @radish_fiction, and @Tap_Stories. Below, gaze upon some bad descriptions of the highlight reel of my work(and maybe read it, yeah?) #amwriting #thriller #YA #paranormal

Learning that early Antarctic exploration parties created magazines to entertain themselves through long, dark polar winters, contributing water colour penguins and silly songs is enough to make me cry

Last year, a coworker randomly asked me to hand-deliver an antique violin across the country. I said yes, because why not. I had no idea what I was getting into, and now I need your help. A 🧵

I've seen it seven times already, but I simply cannot scroll pass the Frodrick video without watching again

I hate that crypto as a prefix has been commandeered. I think I'm about to read about something spooky and it's just NFTs

Niche tweet, but I hate chiavari chairs

@ScottJ_Moses @CaitlinMarceau "I'm not review bombing, I just think your books are so boring that I read all of them" does she realize she's as transparent as a window

I sent an acceptance email last night to a gentleman who, turns out, is 73-year-old. He asked me to send his payment for his story as a check instead of PayPal because...(you guys!)...he wants to frame it since it'll be his 1st published piece of writing. 😊😭😍

Never give up!!

@courtneymilan You'd think a guy this sure of himself would already know the visual novel market exists a d hasn't yet disrupted anything

Crazy story, but one of my stories was plagiarized by a new Substack using AI last week. I found the writer used AI tools to lift the work, remix it, and pass it off as their own. Here’s what happened 👉 https://t.co/zJEqyRJzKF

Delightful string of replies where the response to every 'has he read ____?' is 'yes!'

My tween is almost out of spooky middle grade books - as in, he's read nearly every single one available on the shelves.

He asks that you all write more spooky middle grade books. He even said "please."

Watching horror movies were people just. Leave blood spatter on their face. I believe these budget special effects more than I believe a human being would not instinctively wipe their blood-smeared faces

@bergopolis Do those dream interpretation books cover this nightmare because it is one I have also often had

[Lauryn Ipsum @LaurynIpsum]

I used https://t.co/mCVkhUWA3e to check, and ever single book cover I’ve done for Critical Role has been stolen and used to train AI. Every standard and deluxe edition shows up. 🙃
