how i wish i revised (clean surface, no distractions, notebook for easy organization, alone in silence) vs how i actually revise (in public, as i eat a messy sandwich, my veins 98% diet coke, notebook cast aside in favor of CHAOS) . . . #amrevising #writersofinstagram #writingcommunity #yabooks #revisions

back on campus!! i took my first steps back into fiction in this room in my senior year of college and i’m so SO glad that i did . . . #middleburycollege #middlebury #library #academia #literary

BURN OUR BODIES DOWN arcs are here! a giveaway is running on twitter so check that out if you’re interested - insta giveaway to come soon! in the meantime a little more about the book this might be ur vibe if you like: -fucked up families -midwestern horror -CORN -“she’s hot.... oh my god no nvm she’s ANNOYING” #bookstagram #bookish #yabooks #youngadultbooks #scifibooks

the more lopsided the drafting ponytail the closer i am to the finish line

✨ my first read of 2020 - what’s yours? ✨ this short historical novel in fragments was a christmas gift from my mother who absolutely nailed it. i’m only partway in but it reminds me of another favorite, HHhH, a historical novel that interrogates what we can ever actually know and where fiction can stitch together pieces of fact and history. both are published in the states translated from their original french, too! i don’t read NEARLY enough greek to get through the second book, which originally belonged to my yiayia, but i love it next to my current read - proof that a fascination with byzantium/constantinople/istanbul has run in the family for at least three generations, in various forms . . . #amreading #tbr #bookish #bookstagram #newdirectionspublishing

2019 was a Lot and i’m hoping to take on 2020 with a more measured, level head. accordingly here’s what i want to focus on. finishing what i need to finish, slow progress on work that nobody’s waiting for, and growth in what i do. plus, enjoy shit a little more. the immediate aftermath of releasing wilder girls was absolutely a mess i have ZERO memory of august and most of september and i only got through july because i had summer camp kids to look after. it will not be like that again if i have anything to say about it. i know my limits better now; i know what stressors i’m particularly vulnerable to. i want to enjoy the books i write, and be present for shit. let’s see if i can swing it. . . . #2020goals #writinggoals
