i go really back and forth on whether this is a normal book or a weird book

they should hire me to make a novelization of "you can see everything" (thought process of this post is "what if they made a novelization of you can see everything" > "i would do such a good job writing it")

americans love to argue about chain restaurants. total burrito taxi bait. we are all the same. anyway, i am PRO cheesecake factory i think they are unironically good and also ironically good at the same time.

going to the mall and the cheesecake factory after shopping is a top tier suburban experience. sorry i am a Mall Restaurant apologist.

my next adult book is kind of about going to the cheesecake factory at the mall

As someone who uses multiverse as a coping mechanism, and ponders on her many selves (and their deaths) often, I am so glad to have read this book. @isabel.kim The woman that you are, the book that this is 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾

not to comp to myself but my next story feels like wire mother x omelas hole to me. which like, you can be the judge of whether thats accurate or if its more or less than the sum of its parts when you read it. also this old dril tweet

this tweet was my guiding star while writing this (sort of joking)

ngl the fucked up thing about the stuff i write with more internet diction is that my ACTUAL literary education is "the postmodern/contemporary short story" and the thing im ACTUALLY good at is horridly clear understated prose in the style of the mfa novel. but i choose violence.

Brought a copy of sublimation to a blind book party bc I have like ten of them in my house

every time i go through copyedits im like hm. do i know what a comma is. do i ACTUALLY know what commas are for. have i ever known the purpose of the comma?

the answer is no btw i scatter those lil guys fucking wherever mostly on vibes (only sort of exaggerating for effect).

opening my website to edit it and just doing the most garbage job of all time and then closing it again. buy my wizard book. ok bye.

ux designers actually have a really hard job. does anyone ever think about that.

@jkachmar.com this book is being dedicated to you. Hope this helps.

this book dares to ask the question “what if being in love was evil”

taking a one piece reference out of one book draft but adding it to a different book draft for balance
