Finally figured out how to make the plot of my next novel work, devastated that I now have to actually, you know, write it

Never want a 10 Things I Hate About You remake, do desperately want an irl version of the romance novel Allison Janney spends all her time in the movie writing

“Yeah I go to therapy,” I say, pressing play on this movie every time my mood dips to fascinating new lows

Had a premonition that one day some kid is going to call “yeah!” an oldies song and my bones prematurely snapped into dust

Published one book, drafted two whole others, already dreaming up the fourth

Voiced an emotion and everything was fine, I will learn nothing from this

i am a simple person. my only goals are to write books and be in love.

It’s a full circle moment for LOLA, who is getting a Spanish language translation early next year!

(Which means my family in Mexico can now read the book informed by and in honor of them, which means I am 🥲🥲🥲)
