@DanaGricken Wow! Congratulations! 🥰

At my new house. The backyard is huge!!! I’m so happy. 🥰

@byMorganWright Yes.

Accurate💀🤷‍♀️🤣

@andiesmithbooks A fellow writer is about to have their dream become a reality. ☺️

There is nothing quite like a full making you sob late at night and creating such a deep emotional reaction, you just can’t wait for readers to experience the same thing.

@Davidjsalter Gorgeous!🥰

Who says you can’t photograph black cats? Shelby looking mighty fine today

@WilliamShatner Relieved to hear. 🥰🥰

My Daughter came over to tell me her daughter heard that I had brain cancer. 🙄 She took this photo and sent it to me to upload to prove I'm not ill. The people who are ill are those that are spreading these ridiculous stories. I'm fit as a fiddle. You don't have to worry.

@Danaiwrites I've used Vistaprint and Canva for similar projects. Thanks for the information! 🙂

@AuthorWASimpson You can print your own with any graphic you want in services like VistaPrint

My book is out today in the UK! If you like Shakespeare, this book might be for you. If you hate Shakespeare, this book might be for you. But if you hate Agamemnon… this book is definitely for you!

@Danaiwrites I have to find out where they got it. This is the second one I've seen. I'd love to have one.

@AuthorWASimpson Thank you! It was a gift from my friends back when the book deal was announced in Publisher’s Marketplace

@andiesmithbooks Happy Anniversary and WOW! So many accomplishments. Now have some chocolate. 🍫🎉🎊👏🏾

It’s officially been one year since I joined the team at CMA and since then I have: 🌟 received 5,262 queries 🌟 opened to picture books 🌟 signed 13 new clients 🌟 announced my first deal 🌟 closed some 👀👀 things I can’t wait to share Let’s keep going. 👏🏼✨

@brambletale @HeddenWrites @vickyweberbooks Same here. I thought it’s probably not right but it made me laugh.😂 😉

@HeddenWrites @vickyweberbooks Lol this made me giggle a bit though 🤣 WHYYYYYY 😭😭😭

Editors I respect are leaving. Books sections are closing. I'm watching this industry shrink in real time, and I don't have a neat answer for what comes next—but I think pretending everything is fine is worse than talking about it.

#amquerying authors: I will be closing to queries on March 31 for a brief stint to catch up. My inbox is exploding and I have had pressing client work to prioritize, but I will respond to every query and re-open soon!!

@SavvyCarlisle Yes. Actually, this is the first time I've seen anything like this. I need to research.

@AuthorWASimpson If you mean doing an agent guide, go for it! I'm definitely not the first author to do it.

Officially querying my sports romance! ⚾ When star MLB pitcher "Ice Cole" Walters is spotted reading a romance novel in the bullpen, it goes viral. The real curveball? The author is his estranged childhood friend who's secretly loved him for years. #amquerying

@beamazedvideos has this video, People Who Found Themselves in Museums, and at 25:08 they mention the ridiculous banana taped to the wall and how my personal hero, fellow artist David Datuna (RIP) grabbed it and ate it. I wish I had had the chance to speak with him before he passed because I would have said, "Now that was a genuine piece of performance art!" I had forgotten all about it and how much I hated and despised it. However, some good has come out of it. To be honest, I haven't written anything since I finished The Girl of Morning Glory months ago, what with everything that is going on in my personal life, but now I want to get back to it. Thanks for the inspiration, Maurizio Cattelan!😝🥰 youtu.be/7VnjlYUSjcM?si…

Project Hail Mary was so good my brain cannot even process anything but the cinema perfection it just experienced!!!

@andiesmithbooks Thanks for the reminder! I could finally watch The Martian on streaming, and I thought it was brilliant. Five stars! So I'm eager to see this one. For now, Amazon Prime has a featurette.

Happy Project Hail Mary Day to all us nerds who celebrate. Fist my bump!! 🛸

Hollywood studios chase remakes as originality in film fades vnhsmirror.com/?p=230976 I found this article by an intelligent young writer, Sebastian Jimenez, of it’s the first one I’ve seen that captures Hollywood’s apparent fear of producing anything beyond reboots, remakes, and sequels. It’s a sharp, thoughtful take—and one I agree with. @DisneyStudios @ParamountPics @SonyPictures @warnerbros @UniversalPics @VnhsMirror
