T/F: the larger your beanie baby collection was as a kid correlates directly with how emotionally unavailable your parents were.

@J_Motoki I’m a personal fan of “well let me let you go. It was so good talking to you.”

@Meredith_blkwel Hahahahah. I think if you can routinely reach things in your kitchen without climbing on the counter or don’t keep a step stool handy at home you’re probably average to tall. Imo. 5’4 seems like it’s tall to short people and short to tall people.

@MSweeneyWrites Lol that sucks. Also I see what you mean. Thank you💛💛💛💛 I'm 5'4 and the shortest in my family but I have friends who think that's still tall. I get confused when they don't refer to me as short most times

@nirvana_acres So after I typed that I think a tornado touched down in my neighborhood—I live in Baltimore. That’s not normal. Literally a dystopian evening. Where is this chosen one…..

@nirvana_acres I keep telling my spouse I’m tired of playing a haggard background adult in a teen dystopian novel. At this point I guess we just wait for the chosen one to finish their exams or something🤷🏼‍♀️

I changed my "Rejections" folder in my querying Gmail inbox to "Redirections" because that's what rejections are - redirections to the agent/publisher who will say YES! It also sounds less negative 😅 #WritingCommunity #amquerying

I’m super excited our next installment of the LM is up—but I’m even more stoked other folks are going to get to read Wonder Woman Gets Dressed by @LauraShovan. It’s a fun piece and you should totally check it out.
Unfortunately, Literary Magazine@UnfortunatelyLM

Two poems from @LauraShovan are live on our site! The first is Wonder Woman Gets Dressed, which examines the realities of aging with superhero spandex. Read it here: unfortunatelylitmag.com/2021/08/12/two…

@jzpitts I love eavesdropping and write down good bits routinely. I think it’s helped me be able to better hear the dialogue of my characters by understanding other people’s speech patterns. Maybe? 🤷🏼‍♀️

First piece is live and I couldn’t be more excited for our fledging mag. Mad props to @NatQLawrence who has been our captain helping us navigate through this crazy, amazing, terrifying landscape!!!
Unfortunately, Literary Magazine@UnfortunatelyLM

You all! We have our first piece live on our website!!! We’re in love with how it weaves together the complexities of Jewishness, classic werewolf movies, and house music. @yeaheyesyeah is a master of the braided essay. Read it here: unfortunatelylitmag.com/2021/08/05/whe…

Not writing related but someone needs to know: My dad in a group chat with me and my mother couldn’t tell who was texting. Spoiler: it was me.

Shortly after I sent the first @UnfortunatelyLM rejection email, I checked my inbox to find I had my own rejection waiting for me. So, you know, the universe does strive for balance.

@tarafitzwriter We randomly read Amy Tan in like 8th grade, but the high school was stacked with cis white men with Jane Austen and Edith Wharton thrown in for “diversity.” Finding Janie in my early 20’s was amazing. I’m still so mad it took that long to readTheir Eyes Were Watching God.
