I like to think I’m a vaguely sentient, rational person and then two seconds of early sun hits my face and I remember I’m just a plant that overthinks

Fighting for my life to make sure people know that my cottagecore book is ‘let’s pour our grief and rage into working in our garden bcos it’s the only safe space for it, and while we’re at it let’s think about snogging girls’ vibes, not a ‘let’s gloat about our rights being taken away’ kinda delio

‘How do you come up with book ideas?’

1) think about all your friends
2) think about all the things that make them cry
3) write those things down

Congrats! You wrote a book!

I feel like you could have so much fun with running a contest to see if people can guess what your next book is about based on a few examples of what you’re researching bcos you know you always find the *coolest* facts

Mia was an absolute dream artist for me and the fact that she accepted the commission and was such a dream to work with has been one of my favourite parts of the publishing process so far.

Just saw a tumblr post which was like ‘is it a plot hole or did they just not spoon feed it to you bcos it’s obvious if you would just allow yourself to think about it for 10 seconds’

And I would like to tattoo it on my forehead pls
