Nailed it.” There is an image of a completed NaNoWriMo graph.

Hello! My queer YA debut is out next year, I’d love to be added if YA debuts are included 😊

Tart When the world is telling you what you are, how do you …

You can now add TART to your ‘want to read’ shelf on Goodreads! So if you want to read… please do that! 😅 www.goodreads.com/book/show/22...

What if I quit my job to focus on soup. Just making soup and eating it

I’m making a starter pack of 2025 debuts!

If you’re a trad pub author whose debut comes out next year, @ me here to join. 🤩

Just finished Heartstopper S3 (with a day’s break between E5 and 6 to read Solitaire) and now openly weeping at the fact that there are kids and teenagers out there who get to grow up with this kind of visibility in popular media 🥹 representation is so important. Feeling seen is so important.

I did it for the first time ever this Halloween and it was a blast 😂

That sounds incredible??

Introduce yourself with some jobs you’ve done apart from what you’re doing now

1. Soft play attendant (at Wacky Warehouse for those who remember it)
2. Terrible waitress in a tiny village pub
3. Corn maze scarer (very recent, will 100% be repeating)
4. Various call centres (various levels of awful)

It was my first YALC and the vibe was immaculate ✨
