WHY DO SO MANY PEOPLE USE THE WORD WEARY WRONG??!?!? Babe, you mean WARY! I’ve been seeing it so much I had to look it up to make sure I’m not crazy 😭😭😭 if you are being cautious/careful about something you’re WARY!
I got this really great query rejection a couple weeks ago. It super hurt but was so nice. Listen my book is good y'all and not just my mom thinks so!

Let’s see it then. Also you wouldn’t have been able to “write it” without the actual writers who wrote The Mandalorian.
What I would be more convinced is a completely original show you wrote using ChatGPT

But see if he wasn’t trying to film people’s reaction for content he wouldn’t have even seen it. He’s was just reacting to a person who wouldn’t have otherwise seen it.
This month I’ve been writing at least 500 words a day and I hit 10,000 yesterday. I don’t think I’ve ever written so many words so fast. Proud of me🥹Slow and steady as they say.

The thing is I think a lot of his fans may not be transphobic (or that may be too nice… maybe microaggressively transphobic… idk) but there’s a tendency to ignore transgressions in order to enjoy a thing they like or once liked (and yes that is still problematic)
@mukumuks
My heart. This really humanizes the deaths so much. It's almost flippant in the movies, but here I'm really understanding that man was a MURDERER, A SERIAL KILLER
@CiaranDold
Study abroad was great b/c I enjoyed my classes and didn’t try too hard to feel like I should be flying all over. I studied in Ireland, took a short trip to scotland and really enjoyed the books I read for class. I loved just going to bookstores near my uni. It’s what you make it
@ShoukaRo
I got this one and it genuinely was the best thing I could have ever received (besides an offer of course). It was like getting feedback from a reader rather than an agent rejection.
@mburland
@Kartos
@alex_shephard
This is vague, rife with cliches, the characters know each others backgrounds while only have known each other for a few lines of narrative, and it has poor pacing. YOU could write a better story than this if you tried. But then studios wouldn’t pay you well for it.

After some tone-deafness in this most recent album and her silence in everything that matters (after releasing her docu finally making her politics known🙄) I just had to block her on socials and Spotify. She was my most listened to artist but so what in the face of mass death
@Morgan_J_Talty
Lol this is funny to me because when I leave bad reviews on goodreads it’s because the book upset me to such a degree I’m literally burning inside and it’s the only way I can restrain myself from berating the author personally for their slight against me.this would make me spiral
I ended April sticking to my goal of writing at least 500 words a day. I hit 21,000+ words. I hate that consistency works 😭 but I’m super proud of myself for doing it. Now I’m taking a week or so break 😮💨

Yes. And you realize just how awful he is. In the original trilogy he’s the “bad guy”. But in this you see that he’s an opportunist traitor who figure out how to capitalize and further his position on human suffering and death. Not to mention he’s the reason the games didn’t end.

@mrsbriggle
The thing is if a male wanted to go into a restroom to harass your wife or daughter then he would. Barring trans people from using the restroom that aligns with their gender identity doesn’t stop men who are criminals from being criminals.
I love books so much. All authors feel extremely famous to me. An author follows me or like my tweet? I squeal and scream! Like you are a celebrity and I’m but a humble reader.
I just got my first encouraging type of rejection letter. It’s crazy that I’m smiling and giggling so hard over a rejection, but it does feel really nice. Thanks

Lol she called you LITTLE BOY because you called the woman LITTLE GIRL. You have no respect. Also you know what you’re doing with “You people”. I think if you cared which I know you don’t and it is what it is, but it’s not so much preferential treatment but an attempt to

I am starting on a novel project. Who knows how long it'll take to finish a draft, but I am working on it. It's just that this is disheartening.
@NimrodJournal
Just started reading Joe Okonkwo's (
@JoeOJazzMoon
) short story collection Kiss the Scars on the Back of My Neck, and I'm already a fan.
Magazines that don't accept simultaneous submissions. Babe, I need that decision within the week. Two if your web design is pretty and easily navigable.

So excited for this collection! I read a story by Pemi Aguda in the 2022 O. Henry Prize Collection and have been obsessed ever since. I pre-ordered months ago. You should Pre-Order too!
@BGWW_
I'm making my way through Filthy Animals by Brandon Taylor and Kiss the Scars on the Back of My Neck by Joe Okonkwo. Both excellent short story collections so far.
Oh my goodness!!!!
Such beautiful news to wake up to.
Thank you again

Like the other day I saw how low my bank account was and I wasn’t going to buy dinner but then I happened to see I had 40 in cash app that I forgot to transfer. So it was like bonus money and I bought take out. And it was basically like i didn’t spend anything at all. Girl math.
My mother went to multiple doctors before someone finally performed the procedure to see that she had esophageal cancer. This is months of time passing. She got diagnosed because of her insistence and confidence that something was wrong. So yeah.

He said that’s why gem and sag get along. Just lying to lie. As a Gemini with a Sagittarius brother we really do be lying for the fun of it.

Yeah but my guess is someone whose went for four degrees is most likely one of those people getting some scholarships. Or they have enough money to pay for it themselves.
