I’m beginning to strongly suspect that to get an agent to represent me and my book I’m going to have to write a book and possibly contact an agent.

This world is bullshit.

idk who needs to hear this but you don’t have to write revise find and fix ur plot holes at the same time!!!

“Queer' not as being about who you're having sex with (that can be a dimension of it); but 'queer' as being about the self that is at odds with everything around it and that has to invent and create and find a place to speak and to thrive and to live.”

RULES to being a writer:
1) Hoard notebooks to write in
2) Do not write in your notebook hoard
3) Buy 183736 books similar to your story
4) Do not read these books. Instead, read something completely unrelated to your story
5) When you say you're "writing", go on Twitter instead

@pemberIeys @WILLGR4HAMS If you can find regular work then it's great! Easy to over extend yourself though so only do it if the sessions work for you

@CliveMasonHall1 That's great!

Good morning I spent 20 minutes thinking my headphones were broken because I had the volume turned down, anyway how are you?

[Dr R. E. Kilroy @rekilroy]

@MartinaEden_ You know what, that'd do it

[Dr R. E. Kilroy @rekilroy]

@IanConrey Ohhhh no that's rough!

@emmailene_ OMG THIS IS AMAZING WHAT

[Dr R. E. Kilroy @rekilroy]

@GSBrouwer Ahaha I feel like that's something I'd do, too

[Dr R. E. Kilroy @rekilroy]

What I wanted: to be whimsical and write outside on pen and paper.

What I got: sunburn, and a million pages of scribble that I now get to painstakingly type up.

Someone recently told me that they think my characters are incredibly fleshed out & asked how did I do that?

Here's how 👇🏽:

@cxhmorales OOOHH!! Thank you

[Dr R. E. Kilroy @rekilroy]

I'm writing in a new genre and am desperate for book recommendations!!

Give me everything gothic and/or horror, particularly if it's feminist, queer, or written by marginalised authors ❤️
