Hypertext staff has fantastic news!!! Our contributor @LDobbsWrites’ SLOWLY, THEN ALL AT ONCE, has been included in Best American Essays 2023! Congratulations Laura! 👏🏻
I just took a stab at writing my first cento, after being inspired by @instamartin17 when she did a reading in St. Louis back in March. It's not half bad, I think!
The worst part of writing a book is not the writing itself but taking 3 months off and trying to remember ANYTHING. Who are these people? What are they doing?
I literally am still in an ACOTAR hangover, this is absolutely for me, GIMME THIS
I’m no thoughts, just vibes, so I didn’t notice there was a shiny new synopsis on B&N 😅 Many thanks to @jelliott0811 for distilling my chaotic MS into these sexy, sexy paragraphs!
TLDR: Two clowns somehow find the time to fall in love amidst all the stabbing. #TheHurricaneWars
I just preordered from my local indie @LeftBankBooks and now have to somehow wait until October...!

This is so deserved. I adored this book so, so much.
The Wall Street Journal @WSJ named Thistlefoot as one of the TOP FIVE sci fi/fantasy books of 2022!! Wild.

If you're stuck behind the paywall, this is what they wrote:
I did not hit 50k (or even my reduced goal of 30k) for my current WIP this #NaNoWriMo22 HOWEVER, I did write a total of 21,218 words across four separate projects: the novel, a flash fiction piece, and two short stories. My real prize is the writing habit I gained along the way.
How exciting! Thank you, @HypertextMag

This urban legend is so ingrained that multiple people I know have insisted they personally have encountered people with these names. It's.... A lie. They're lying.

My husband: "Why are you asking this? Is this a social media thing? Are you filming my response? You're not a worm. I don't want you to be a worm. Stop asking me this."
My biggest complaints about movies are poor lighting & sound mixing. A friend suggested that maybe it's bc people aren't studying those aspects of filmmaking as much. Then we went to a concert where the audience had absolutely no theatre etiquette.
WE NEED THE ARTS IN SCHOOLS.

I cannot stop rereading this line.
