In hindsight it should have been, but I dont think schools here have their own HR depts and the principal was right next to us, so he was probably well aware of the conversation... Only 1 of many issues and I dropped out to intern elsewhere pretty quickly after 😂
I am nothing if not an opportunist 😂 Furiously taking notes on my phone like no no back up what were you saying about having fat people neighbourhoods they're not allowed out of? right right... [tapping excitedly] 😂
In hindsight it's an insane thing to say that your fat 20 year old unpaid intern should be kept off the streets in case a child sees a fat person, but I got a really good book out of expanding the idea, so I made lemonade out of those lemons, and it's delicious
Years ago I had 5 senior colleagues at work sit around discussing how me & other fat people needed to be put in concentration camps & sterilized & have less food & less medicine etc, for the sake of the children... I was just like gonna write this down rq... u guys are nuts but i can use that...
Real! Here they start talking to you loudly. "INSERT CARD FOR PAYMENT. INSERT CARD FOR PAYMENT." meanwhile I havent even finished scanning my items 😂
Those things know it's me coming and I think they take bets on how frustrated I'll get 😅
Just out of curiosity, when we say short story, what do we mean exactly? Because some people feel those should be under 1000 words and others feel up to 40.000 is good. As for me personally, if I aim for 1000, my ADHD will rack up the other 39k for me anyway...
Bluesky acts like I want to talk about its extended warrantee 😩
I'm at the stage where I hate writing, and my manuscript, and everything, actually 🤪
4/5 of my betas dropped the ball so I have no feedback and I'm so hypercritical if I actually try and edit by myself each chapter would be reduced to half a page. If not I'd be querying by now lol
if this isn't some steampunk x tradwifery milkshake machine idk what is...
A snaffle is the most enjoyable unit of chocolate 😂 very snackable!
Every time I start to write scifi they end up being dystopias (dystopiae? spellcheck doesn't agree but spellcheck has no whimsy). It's almost impressive, really.
Normally I'd have a cup of Barry's tea and a snaffle of chocolate, but I've recently been getting into homemade yoghurt...
If it works it works, I suppose. You WILL however catch me clinging to my opening line like it's a door from the Titanic...😇😂
"Tell us about your book" and I instantly forget every single thing I have ever written. "Tell us about yourself" and I genuinely cannot imagine even 1 interesting thing about me to share.
At least I'm consistent
...why did I not think of just lying?? 😂😂😂
Now this might be a stupid question, but if an editor or agent wants to see "the first 10 pages" but the chapter ends on page 11, can I send 11 pages? Am I gonna get the boot?🤔
The #CampRevPit cabins are coming together and gearing up! Meet our lovely CABIN LEADERS who help bring it all to life ⬇️
Hey! Thanks for offering but I'm good, just whining 😅
footage of me trying to telepathically convince my beta readers to at least read the first chapter (4/5 are completely uninterested in beta reading) (but the fifth one finished the whole thing in one day)

Screenshot of Lord of the Rings. The main character says "All right, then. Keep your secrets."
they're MY notifications what do you mean FORBIDDEN? is there a cursed object in my notifs? have i been tagged in the Amulet of Doom? (wait... that sounds like a fun SFF premise...)
How to make an author bio interesting/on topic when you don't have any experience! Half the sample letters online that got deals reference won competitions or previous book deals... What if I am naught but a potato with a laptop and a plotline?
I have lost a WIP. I have no idea what I titled it nor what the characters are called, nor how much of it was written. It's just GONE.
