Though I couldn’t be at AWP in person this year, I still got some value out of the AWP virtual experience — particularly the panels with agents. #AWP #literaryagents rachelkolman.substack.com/p/i-attended...
I had such a fantastic time teaching a workshop on Saturday for folks who want to infuse more creativity into their CNF! We covered how to apply common fiction techniques to essay writing and then looked at creative forms like braids, collages, and hermit crabs. Here’s a sample slide for a peek 👀

In 2016, I self published a M/M romance novella. I was too shy to let others know I had a soft spot for it. And now…it’s no secret how well M/M romance is doing. So I republished that old Kindle ebook for a world more accepting of two boys finding love.

SEVEN DAYS IN PARADISO: a second-chance fake-dating contemporary romance that sits between THE EX VOWS and THE PARADISE PROBLEM.
Because wouldn't you also escape this bitter winter cold by running off to a lush Mexican resort for a week -- even if it includes your ex-fiancé?

congrats!!!
All of a sudden, I have three speaking/teaching gigs booked this winter! These all sort of came together and I'm so happy:
Jan 28 - Talk on how to get started in publishing
Feb 5th - workshop on writing better instructions for students
March 14 - class on infusing more creativity in CNF
thank you for considering my ranking of books I read this year, I will not be taking questions at this time
so fucking tired of people saying AI "democratizes" creative skills, it's fucking privatizing it you dumb fuck, they're stealing your creativity from you and selling it back to you at a premium
the ability to draw and write and sing and fucking whatever else came free with your fucking humanity
This is an extremely cool time to be a teacher. When students aren't using ChatGPT to do their homework for them, they're asserting they have a First Amendment right to get an A and your administration fires you if you don't give them an A.
I'm so tired.
that feeling when you think 'wow I nailed that interview' and then the job offer comes in and basically says 'yeah, you nailed it congrats' what a wild new feeling this is
got my #RevPit feedback and yep, I had a hunch that prologue had to go. Cutting ASAP. Thank you @madelynknecht.bsky.social and your time on my pitch!
"sorry hope its not bade" .....
reading back some old fanfic from like 15 years ago, it's funny how I see shades of my voice now as a romance writer tucked in there.
