Ok so as you might know I'm writing a dark academia romantasy novel:
"She needed a weapon. She got a soulmate. Same difference, probably."
A desperate student summons history's most dangerous wizard to find her missing mother — and accidentally binds her soul to his. Oops.
Comp Shelf: Ninth House, A Deadly Education, Fourth Wing

Was very happy to have dinner at the NY yacht club with our sailing team this week. Cheers to a great season!

Been on a classic horror kick, realizing there’s so much I’ve never seen. This week we’ve had: Dracula, Frankenstein, & King Kong (all the 1930s versions.) Dracula was by far the best of these three. Legosi was magnetic. King Kong is soooooo silly, but Faye Wray is lovely.

I actually started making these this year for myself and now I have a “sadness” protocol, “anxiety menu”, and “cold comfort” lists and they have been great. Really good to pull out of pocket.
Underrated life advice: Have a Bad-Day Protocol. Go for a walk. Eat something clean. Hit a workout. Take a long shower. Get to bed early. Whatever. You don’t need to solve every problem when you’re at your worst. You need a few moves that stop a bad day from becoming a bad week.

Ohhhhh my god I just saw the new “promote” animation for the first time and it almost made me insta delete the app. Holy crap, that’s ghastly.

@ChrisMurphyCT really sorry to hear about Chris and hoping he heals up and well soon! Chris is a man of integrity imo. He walks (sometimes literally) what he talks

As a writer ps I’m pretty sure it’s gonna be Gwen. Need that on paper before the next book comes out so I can laugh at you all. This book was not Maas’ best work.

I literally started his autobiography yesterday! What an enormous loss. Ian must be devastated. What a blessing he was to have among us.

I really hoped we’d see Elain have a spine this book but we don’t get a single POV (“mysterious” yeah yeah yeah) and she’s still pushed around by everyone (I said what I said.) I mean, Nesta had half the town before she went to Cass. Disappointing. Dull.

Hey, public service announcement- if a friend shares you a snippet of their art ESPECIALLY if the art is unfinished and they’re not prolific (but honestly even if they are) always start with a compliment, even if all you can manage is “thanks for sharing this with me”

Usually I get really into building fun Halloween costumes but this year I’ve dived into media instead - watching movies I’ve meant to see for years, reading spooky books (and writing one), doing cozy spooky crafts.
I kind of love it for a change 🎃

Yeah I mean I could actually finish my novel draft OR I can make art of my characters instead 😅 that’s almost as productive, right??? First we have Lyriel
