saw Hadestown in the movie theater with @ashbelero and it was so fucking good

#I will be thinking about this show for a very long time

realistic contemporary YA does not need to be boring

#just because they’re not getting chased by a monster or solving a murder #doesn’t mean they aren’t fighting one of the worst enemies out there—the adolescent mind #and then there’s always the societal expectations and pressures to ‘become’ something and someone to ‘succeed’ in life and adulthood #on top of all the day to day activities that can be hectic af #in a household that may or may not be absolutely chaotic #or the complete opposite #and then there’s always the question of sexuality and attraction because hormones. lol.#plus teens are some of the funniest people and so conflicted and fickle sometimes #just give me a character. I’m all about that character.

y’all this book I’m reading…there’s only been two scenes so far that did not involve the characters eating or drinking tea. I read some people commenting on authors’ obsession with describing food but I didn’t know it was really like this out here sometimes.

no shade but from a writer perspective as well as reader I’m wondering why the story is so limited to happening during and around mealtimes…I want more from this. that’s all.

“if you make the characters straight i bet an agent will like the story then”

how about no and never.

#I’m actually seeing that it is a very real thing that trad publishing will not invest in most queer stories #it was bad before and they tricked us not too long ago making people believe things were changing for the better #but nah. we’ve gone backwards just like with everything else.#I really do understand why people self publish but also it’s good that there are at least small presses that strictly publish queer books

y’all I think I need to stop trying to get anything done this summer. I have queries out and things submitted that haven’t been rejected yet, and my wait time is essentially until mid September for most of it, which is when I’ll have more time again to sit and focus anyway. I’ve been planning stuff out though, every option I have, so at least I won’t be doing anything too hastily moving forward. I don’t know how to rest, but the universe is forcing me to. my work schedule is also up in the air until mid to late August so there’s that.

#I’m just over here driving myself nuts as usual.#should have at least one answer I need by Monday #if I get the vague response then I’ll know what’s up.#because otherwise the math ain’t mathing

starting to realize that there are too many people who don’t know the difference between science fiction and speculative fiction which complicates things when lit mags seeking sci fi say (or someone else says) they’re looking for speculative stories 🙃🙃🙃

#I mean…#*screams in English degree holder*

oops i queried again

Look what arrived today!

#klaine fanzine au series #and a bonus cat!#she’s also sitting on my masters degree…a very expensive piece of paper that also arrived today #and yes that’s her hair on absolutely everything 🙃

hahaha I’m just trying everything at this point submitting stuff to different publications and contests and such because I’d really just like a single win by summer’s end

#😭#and I know people are on vacation but I need those last four agents to send me their rejections #because I know that’s not going anywhere at this point

Schmigadoon! has improved my mood tenfold

okay but like…I’m kind of mad rn. I finally started reading again solely for pleasure, and this book I just finished had the literal worst ending of a book I’ve ever read. there was no climax or resolution. there was so much build up to absolutely nothing. I hate that I’m mad but I really am and I’m not going to name the story’s title or author so please don’t ask me. it’s like the author was trying to be oh so mysterious and somehow profound in the absolute nothingness that was the ending, and I don’t trust this author and won’t pick up another one of their books. don’t really trust whoever published it either.

#☹️☹️☹️

it’s actually so sad right now that I’m thinking about how getting something published will help pay for my cat’s medication

#tbh I don’t care about the money rn otherwise #if there is any money in it.

when I can’t afford to buy a book, I borrow it from my local library.

#it’s free!#sorta. because I pay property taxes.#but it doesn’t cost me extra!#unless of course I’m late returning the book…but only some libraries have late fees #and I can renew them!#also also…if your local library doesn’t have the book you can request for them to buy it.

tbh the more I learn about trad publishing the less I want to do it. at least, not with the big five.

living it up this sushi summer of rejection

#😎#we’re at 5 now y’all #only the first batch still and I did revise my letter and other parts of my package #but will be proceeding with more caution and a different approach
