author! I write YA/NA novels about sapphics, internet culture, and sorority girls! I’m currently preparing to query my first novel within the next few weeks. I would love to connect with more writers! 🫶
Hi friends! I’m looking to commission some art of my characters! I’m looking for a simplistic, doodle-y, cutesy, kinda kawaii style? Any recommendations are welcome!!!
“Glinda and Elphaba loved each other as more than friends” I say into the mic. The crowd boos but as I walk off the stage in shame a voice from the back says “she’s right” and when I turn to look it’s Lindsay Heather Pearce
Artist friends! I’m looking to commission art of my characters! I’m looking for someone who specializes in a semi-realistic colored pencil style! I’m not interested in furry or anime style art. Hit my DMs if you’re interested in working with me! Thanks!!! ♥️♥️♥️
god i love books. i love writing. people just pour their hearts out into their own imaginary little worlds and then have the courage to share it with the rest of humanity to experience and ugh i love it
How to tell my mutuals on writingtwt that I want to become besties and do sprints together and talk about our WIPs all the time. Wait, this isn't google.
i want a bunch of cool and super supportive writertwt friends that all get together and geek about our wips but i am too socially awkward to reach out to anyone
my first book was very much "i am 16 and i hate my parents" and my second book is "i am in my early twenties and the worlds seems to hate me but i cannot bring myself to hate it back"
🌟NEW PINNED TWEET🌟
Hello! My name is Abbie Brown! I’m a 19 year old autistic aspiring author currently working on draft two of my YA contemporary sapphic romance based around the internet as well as workshopping two other novel ideas!
I think we can all agree that Take Me To Church is one of the best songs to ever exist. The orchestrations. The vocals. The lyrics and all of their intricacies and hidden meanings. Maybe I just have religious trauma but this song is truly unmatched.
writing mutuals! i’ve always wanted a pen pal and i think it would be so cute to pen pal with other writers so we can share about our WIP and just get to know more people in the community. DM me if you’re interested 🫶💌

I have shelved my current WIP since all it has done for the past few months is cause me misery BUT I am finally starting to expand on a charater I've wanted to flesh out for a while and things are very slowly but surely coming together.
Hello friends! As I am getting ready to finish the zero draft of

Hi! I’m Abbie Brown and I’m currently rewriting draft two of my YA contemporary novel which features:
🍧A snow cone shop
💖 “Mutual” pining
📱 Internet fame
💙 An autistic MC
💚 A chronically ill MC
🎭 A confident Tahitian theatre girl
🌻 Girls learning to love and be loved
If there is anything I hate in literature and film right now is that the majority of LGBT stories involve outing. When can we move past the idea that all LGBT stories have to be inherently traumatic. Can't we just have queers in love who are allowed to control their own narrative

I like to think that I am a good writer but the second you start asking me to find things like the indirect object or auxiliary verbs in a sentence, it's over for me. It's like I don't even speak this language anymore.
with so many responses to this tweet, i won't be able to respond to every single dm and reply but just know that i do look at them all and appreciate them! thank you all for reaching out and offering your talent!
Say all you want about Catcher in the Rye but it inspired the beauty that is Solitaire by Alice Oseman and I would genuinely be a different person if I didn't get to know Tori Spring and Michael Holden. This book genuinely changed my life and I think that everyone should stan.
10K BABY LETS GO! This WIP suddenly feels very real and not like I'm just writing silly little words on a page. Everything is slowly coming to life and I couldn't be happier and more excited to continue on this journey!
My outline is finished? I can start drafting today? This feels very unreal. I love this story with everything in me and I can't wait to start this rewrite and spend more time with these characters. But first, I want a smoothie.
Hello besties. I am here to tell you that I have scrapped my silly internet novel (FOR NOW!). I just can’t get it to work no matter what I do so I’m going to stop torturing myself trying to make it work and instead focus on writing something new!!!!
2024 WRITING GOALS!
-Get an agent
-Draft a book about internet friends with my internet best friend
-Draft secret college story book
-Make more writing friends
IT'S ALL COMING TOGETHER! For months and months, I've been struggling to figure out my book and finally, it's all coming into place. Every day I fall more in love with this story and I am so excited to tell it.
Nothing is funnier to me than YouTubers filming a morning routine where they set up the camera and then get back in bed and pretend to just naturally wake up.
Just got my first dose of the vaccine. I feel my autism updating as we speak. I am growing closer to Autism 2.0 every second and there’s nothing you can do to stop it. Soon, I will be able to take on Autism$peaks with my bare fists.
WRITING UPDATE! For the first time in nearly a year, I have hit the daily word count goal I've set for myself. I'm still learning to give grace to myself as I work up to writing at the speed I used to but this is a major win for me!
I'm moved into my dorm! I still haven't comprehended that I am actually in college yet but I'm having fun. My dorm is mostly put together, I watched Community with my other roommates that have moved in, and now I'm relaxing in my room. This doesn't feel real.
I’m getting lots of responses and DMs. I’m sorry that I can’t respond to them all! I’m going to wait a few days and go over a bunch of different artists before deciding what artist I want to go with. Thank you everyone who has offered up their time and talent! ♥️♥️
Hello
#WIQChat
! I'm Abbie. I write queer and neurodiverse contemporary YA and I have been meaning to read Lord of the Flies for years! I finally picked it up yesterday!
I just hit 70k words! I have never written this much of a story before and I just want to say that I love every second that I've spent with
#YTWip
. There is still eons and eons of work to do but I fall a bit more in love with this little world I have created every single day <3
The worst part about being a writer is that I see all stories through a writers perspective so I can point out all the Chekovs Guns and carefully crafted lines of dialogue and know that there’s something more (usually bad) coming
what to expect from

@the15sartstudio
to draw the main characters of YouTube WIP and I am ASTONISHED with the way they turned out! Its so amazing to see the characters I created in my head come to life! I am utterly obsessed. <3 <3 <3 <3
every day i remember alice oseman got her publishing deal for solitaire at seventeen and then i just kind of stare off into space and let the void inside of my grow a little bit more
i’m literally watching society collapse and i still have to show up to my shitty ass job like there isn’t a genocide in palestine and like i didn’t watch a former president get shot in real time like it was just another day. how am i supposed to function like this is normal?
I miss writing so much. I genuinely think that having a writing block for so long has started to affect my mental health. I miss telling stories so much and it brings me so much peace, I just can't find anything to write. UGH!
Today I’m wearing a silly little dark academia outfit with a collar and mom jeans and a Catcher In The Rye crewneck heading to my Shakespeare class and honestly, this is my dream. I am so happy. I love college and I love life. All is well ♥️✨
i finished the zero draft of my book that’s been in my head for years! it’s a garbage fire but i am so excited to make it as amazing as it can be in hopes of querying it towards the end of the year ♥️
I went to a Shakespeare lecture and spent an hour with a theatre girl sitting in front of me telling me I was 'basic' for liking Romeo and Juliet and making me feel like the dumbest person alive. I will be moving seats next time because that really ruined my learning experience
This pinned tweet will be about my WIP once I figure out what is actually going on in this story instead of just writing meaningless drafts while I try to figure out what the actual story on the fly.
Hey! I know her! I am overjoyed to work on the "dream team" at Weird Little Worlds! Working at WLW has taught me so much and brought me close to so many amazing people and cool opportunities. This is just the beginning of something absolutely stellar!
My sister is on Facetime asking me about my date but shes sitting next to my dad so I have just been lying to her face because nobody can know that I'm going on a date with a girl
Me: I really need to get back into writing. I want to put more time into my creative process and working towards completing my novel
Also me: Maybe I should start playing Stardew Valley again
(last time i picked up stardew i played 50+ hours in three weeks and it’s all i did)
It's so fun to watch the state of the traditional publishing industry as someone who has planned their entire life to tradpub... I might need to start thinking a little harder about a backup plan.
A worker at Barnes and Noble told me that I can’t sit on the floor I hate it here. Just let me sit in the corner by the notebooks in my little patch of sun like a bodega cat. I am not hurting anyone 😭✋
