So excited to read Brianna Jett's debut! Love everything about the description of her novel in verse, as well as the stunning cover art. #amreading #booksky #VCFA @triadaus.bsky.social

Each issue has been a fantastic read. I especially liked this one. #booksky #amwriting #VCFA

I read this excerpt from a much longer story at my graduate reading at #VCFA in July of 2019. The entire story was later published as a chapbook by Blue Cubicle Press.

Thank you! I'm not holding my breath, but know I could really use it and that working on the middle would really help. Loving my #VCFA studies, though. Really appreciated you lecture at this last residency. 🙂

So excited to start messing with this. Heard great things. So got it as a little prezzie for when I'm done with this next #VCFA packet work. #amwriting

Shout out to my #vcfa poetry peeps as we make our way through this #poetryfriday. Your words are balm for my soul. ❤️

Rocking my final two semesters at #VCFA. #kidlit #amwriting

Exactly. #VCFA #CalArts #amwriting

Some days, my work in my graduate program makes me so happy. Today, I learned that “What’s on de rail for de lizard?” translates from Harlem Slang as “Suggestions for moral turpitude?” Henceforth, I shall enter rooms with this question. #vcfa #lovewhatyoudo #writing #writingcommunity

This is huge! If you've been thinking about applying to #VCFA, here's a great opportunity for incoming #WCYA students. An amazing program. I'm learning tons, and so thankful for all of the shared wisdom and connections. #kidlit #amwriting

MFA Packet #3 has been submitted to my advisor. Since July, I’ve read 4,040 pages of craft prose and short stories - and written 12 short stories and 3 critical essays. When you’ve waited decades for your turn in grad school, you try and wring the experience dry. READ BANNED BOOKS. #vcfa

Love the pic! School is at CalArts north of LA now. A great facility for the residency programs #VCFA runs all at once. Love going there for #kidlit. #amwriting

Yay! So excited to read Sunward when on holiday break from school. #amreading #VCFA

All the little things…sunflowers, reality check, compassion soap for the bathrooms, cool bug friends, cinnamon rolls, writing is hard work.

When you have an 800-page anthology to finish, stuff to write, AND people to feed. (Main course in one, dessert in the other). #mfa #vcfa #writer #writinglife

Packet #2 submitted. 1,148 pages read and 4 short stories written in the last four weeks. Sitting on my “screen porch,” beginning the next packet.

Super excited to read this. If only my #VCFA advisor didn't keep me so busy I wouldn't have to wait until I'm on break in November. 😉 #amreading

The only thing I can say is I'm stunned. #amwriting #kidlit #VCFA

#VCFA residency photo of everyone in all of the programs. Love how we cross paths. It's great to meet and talk with artists wirking in other mediums. #amwriting #kidlit

#VCFA residency begins tomorrow. Can't believe I'm back here and at it already. Seems like the last one, both, happened yesterday and is a distant memory that's little more than a blur. #amwriting #kidlit

When your kid's school asks you to "chaperone" the group at the book fair. 🙄 #kidlit #VCFA

I would've loved to attend YPO. But being waitlisted and rejected, I think, might have been one of the best things for me. I'm so thrilled to be part of the #VCFA community. #amwriting #amwritingscifi

Where are you, my Vermont College of Fine Art family? #vcfa

Never Say You Can't Survive by @charliejane.bsky.social is exactly what I needed to read right now ahead of my #VCFA residency. #amreading #amwriting

Excited to be included in this piece for VCFA’s annual alumnx magazine! I grew as a writer in the VCFAWCYA program and got to know some incredible people, many of whom I’m still in close contact with today.
