@JustJesscaa Sparrows?! That looks like the right icon! 😲

Please??!?!?!

@DarthInternous It's funny... I definitely notice it in the writing of others (and it bothers me), but I'm most annoyed when I do it myself. Papers when I was still in school, cover letters while I'm job hunting (for entry-level publishing roles, go figure), and even with casual texting.

A line edit I make frequently is reducing echoes, which put simply is avoiding the over-use/repetition of a word or phrase within a paragraph, a scene, chapter, or even across the book. I often wonder *just* how much the *average* reader cares outside of extreme examples.

We'd have the windows open, but my brother's allergies are horrendous, so it's a good compromise. =]

Officially fall with all of the lovely temps and warm foods/beverages, and yet we're still running the a/c because it's always warmer upstairs, and lymphedema is weird. Thankfully I live with understanding people and a somewhat understanding cat. ;]

@JustJesscaa Or me with all of the sites that make my favorite spooky things, and all their dang sales right now.

My steam wishlist throwing me emails every day to tell me a game I want is on sale or just released as if I have money >.<

@altonbrown Daily photos of perfect grilled cheese sandwiches?

As this platform continues to degrade into a raging dumpster fire of villainy and vitriol, I ask you: what would you like to see from a lowly cook like me? What would you enjoy, utterly void of politics, grievances, and griping? Whatever it is, I'll try my best to do it.

@JustJesscaa Man... game industry... publishing... it all stinks. I don't even mind the interview process, I'm just sick of checking the same sites 30 bajillion times a day to try and be one of the early candidates, and not even getting an auto-response "no" on some of them. 😭 It's draining!

15 applications 2 Rejections it's only been like 2 weeks but my god I hate looking for a job Someone let me skip the interview process and just trust that I'm good at what I do and pay me to break your game pls

@MarkHamill I love how they wait their turn! 🥰

I really, really want this job.

@GailSimone Omg, so exciting! Put this on the list of things to buy when I'm employed again. ❤️

Pre-release review copies of my very first novel. I mighta cried a little bit.

@TerryBrooks @DelReyBooks @goodreads Hmm... book release on my birthday... I feel like I win either way, even if I don't get an advance copy. =D

Hey Readers, @DelReyBooks is offering a @goodreads Giveaway for GALAPHILE right now. 15 lucky people will win an early read of the new #Shannara book before it publishes March 11, 2025. Giveaway is for US-based readers, FYI. ENTER HERE: goodreads.com/giveaway/enter… Good luck!

@vortexglitter Hmm... might be more beneficial to use mind control to convince them to let me work remotely, but I appreciate the sentiment. =]

I wash a handful of dishes and then have to rest my feet because of lymphedema, but please, tell me again why you think I can/should relocate to NYC to work in person for an entry-level job in publishing. Because, yannow, I wouldn't be spending ANY time on my feet for that. 🙄

C'mon, folks. Remote opportunities in #publishing need to be more common, especially editorial. You want a more diverse staff to help create more diverse books, this is a HUGE part of that.

The kicker being the editorial roles where all the work is done online, and all the meetings are being done on Teams/Zoom.

@Keizaron An ice cream social, however...

I feel like people don't understand what an invitational is.

@AlisonIsBossy Today must be "moms bringing over strawberries" day. ::laughs:: Mine did the same thing, but fresh! =]

My mom left me a big ol bag of frozen strawberries. I’m thinking cobbler.

It should be noted that I'm looking for that extra special unicorn, as remote is my only option. Ahahahahahahaha!

Refreshing the job boards like I used to refresh Ticketmaster for concert tickets. 😵‍💫Whooboy... #Publishing

@BookRiot Love the TMNT love and catching Daredevil references, but there's one more! =] Don't forget about Splinter (a clear call-out to Daredevil's mentor, Stick). Also, if you, too, still cringe over Venus from "The Next Mutation," check out Jennika from the comics... she's great. =]

@racheldoesbooks I hope you had a happy birthday! =]

Today is my birthday & I’m planning to be kind to myself with art, books, & pastries as I contemplate my mortality before finishing the day with sushi & making my boyfriend watch Bridgerton to do my favorite thing & name everything they’ve ever acted in as they appear on screen!
