Poppy wouldn't have expected to accidentally end up in Hell & date Satan, yet, here she was. Thank Hell he is willing to do anything to get her back when she is ordered to Heaven - even team up with her evilish sister & go up against God. #questpit #romantasy #maybetodaysatan

@LexiHeathermoor I am SO full

@BernaEWriter 🤤🤤🤤

Happy Eid! Instead of slaving away in the kitchen the whole day, I took the teen and me to a Brazilian restaurant. Best. Idea. Ever.

@LexiHeathermoor Sending a big fat hug, my friend 🫂

I don’t share too much of this kind of thing here (people can be pretty cruel, y’know) but I’ve sat with it all day and it felt right to try. Loving an addict is complex. Having one as your parent, even more so. As most who’ve been in my shoes can attest, you don’t lose them all at once. Little by little, the cackling laughter, kitchen dance parties, and highway karaoke are overshadowed by endless arguments, pleas for change, and the eventual decision to sever the cord to protect what’s left of your sanity. The silence that follows is so loud, it says more than they ever could’ve to your face. Yet, when news of their death comes out of the blue on a random Monday afternoon, it still cuts you off at the knees and snatches the air right from your chest. A heartbreak so intense, it feels like you just might join them. Today marks 5 years since I lost my mom, and my warring emotions are just as volatile now as they were back then. I grieve the mom I caught glimpses of once upon a time, and the version of me who didn’t know the world I was growing up in wasn’t normal. I cry over the future that lies ahead without her, but also over the fact that the mom I’m grieving is one she’d never have been for me. One she never was. It’s a confusing dichotomy of loss and relief, an eternal argument of whether I’m missing her, or the mom I wished she could be. The sadness is there, but its very existence feels like a lie. Because how can you be sad over losing someone who causes you so much misery? Either way, deathaversaries suck and I’m glad to have this community to share it with. ❤️🫶🏻

Okay.

“boy cats are nice and girl cats are mean” your girl cat is just sensing the internalized misogyny you’re projecting onto her so she doesn’t treat you with respect

@theaaroncole @LookingGlassLit @peachtreeteen Yay! Congratulations 🥳

It’s Publishers Marketplace official🥹 My debut novel, SOULCAST, will be out summer 2027. It’s not only the book of my heart, but the book of my soul and I can’t wait to share it with readers

@TheBeeMorris HOLY SHIT! That's so impressive! Congrats🥳

Final querying stats for KILL ME MAYBE 🔪💞 The past month has been absolutely wild and I can't wait to share some more news soon!! 🤞 Thanks for bearing with me! 🫶 *This is my 3rd time in the trenches in the last 3 years and I have almost 200 rejections for my first 2 projects!*

🚢 Blurb reveal 🚢 I'm over the moon to reveal the first blurb for An Inheritance or Lies and I can't believe it comes from the legend, the talent, the one and only Shalini Abeysekara!

On this day 34 years ago, Pearl Jam stepped onto the stage at Kaufman Astoria Studios and delivered an unforgettable performance for MTV's Unplugged.

@ZsaffrynTerra Right? I'm THIS close to calling my tattoo artist gal 😍

@BernaEWriter That’s AMAZING! 🤩😍

Oh my god I want them all

Five, all between 8-40 k in.

@sarahgallwrites It's a great rule! We all could use more compliments and kindness

@BernaEWriter Me and my daughter were talking about this only the other day! She's so shy but goes out of the way to compliment someone every time she's out!

Yes! Saw an older lady at the bakery, and she was so freaking stylish. Our eyes met and I blurted out "I love your style!" and she grinned and said: "Thanks, I'm meeting my girlfriends later" and seriously, I just want to be her one day 😍

Frankenstein Castle Ruins 😍 (yes, that Frankenstein. According to legend, Mary Shelley at least got the name from here)

@sarahgallwrites That sounds wonderful!

She officially has the best friends. They welcomed her autistic little brother, included him in everything, trashed the house, smashed the piñata and had everything tidy by 9pm as a thank you to me for having them. I'm so glad she found her tribe!

@sarahgallwrites Thank you 💕

@BernaEWriter Best of luck!

Entered #revpit with Maybe Today, Satan. Let's gooo 🤞🏼🧿
