SO thrilled to be a WriteHive mentor for another year! Yes, you're counting right - I'm a part of 2 mentorship programs this year! Double the fun, y'all!
My MSWL is, as ever, very loose. This is so that you don't self-reject, and so that you don't pigeon-hole yourself into not applying. Just do it!

One of my conservative family members self-published a book about being a pastor, and the whole family is going NUTS about having “an author in the fam” while I’m over here, a godless heathen, clearly not an author 🤪

Like, yes, I know that I have like four deadlines bearing down on me from all directions, but I'm also very sick and very pitiful and I think that means I should be allowed to replay all the Dragon Age games from the beginning starting right now

Why would I use chatGPT when I can just add “reddit” at the end of my question and get a post from like 2008 that specifically answers my question

It's been so nice to actually take my time with this WIP, rather than blacking out and drafting it in a month, only to be so burnt out by the experience that I can't form full sentences after the fact. Funny how that works!

The day that I can write Dragon Age IP is the day none of you ever hear from me again. I will go so deep into my hyperfixation black hole that I will come out the other side IN Thedas. Please and ma serannas, y'all.
