- Why yes, my life as a Los Angeles attorney is JUST like those of the Boss Babe Lady Lawyers of LA™ in the execrable "All's Fair." Just like, if Kim K and Naomi Watts were sitting in their office at 10pm, eating oyster crackers for dinner because that's what's available in here. Don't be jealous.
- All I can say is: my mom (friend of the show) really liked this episode. And if you get the maternal seal of approval, you know it's got to be good, because this is the same woman who called me "the most annoying person I know" within the past 12 months. She might be right? 🤷♀️ #booksky #podcast
- Dream agents--who needs 'em? What if it's a case of mistaken identity? Hey we're BAD LIT FRIENDS, of course we have a hot take! Listen to our latest ep about handling rejection and...maybe you'll feel like less of a reject? (No promises.) #writesky #writingcommunity open.spotify.com/episode/1zXo...
- February 1 #WIPSnips – “zeal” Vibes, or close enough. Dr Gregory Shipp’s Romantic Poetry class is half cult, half seminar, all testosterone of a particularly tweedy strain. When Jenny gets in, it’s a snafu. An academic scheduling mixup with awful consequences. A snip from my #WIP “Surface Tension.”
- Next, one which I #amquerying, This Ends Now. Or, an #upmarket book about what happens when collegiate bullshit gets stuck to your clothes like a burr you can't shake off and the next thing you know you're walking out on multiple perfectly cromulent marriages because WHY NOT??
- Surface Tension again? Indeed! Jenny's a bit of a genius when it comes to all things scholastic, but she's also utterly unschooled when it comes to stuff like lurve. As many of us are/were at 21. She's a bite-sized morsel for someone like the delectable, nasty Gregory Shipp to devour in one chomp.

View full threadOh, and while you're here, listen to this week's BAD LIT FRIENDS, where we're covering rejection letters. I edited this episode, so if it sucks, you know where to find me. Well, virtually speaking. Thanks again for another fun day of me not finishing my WIP so I can take part in #questpit!
- Ahhhh, nothing like a heaping helping of "begone, noisome scribbler, and take your dreck elsewhere" for your confidence! Or maybe it's them? It's got to be them. I'm an artiste! A wordsmythe of quality! Probably not. But you might like this ep! #writesky #booksky #rejection #litagents
- HELLO BEAUTIFUL x WRECK THIS ENDS NOW: Ditching good husbands is a bad look, especially for a wedding planner. But Lainey won't stop bolting until she takes down the cunning, brilliant ex who convinced her she was never enough—and won't let her go without the fight of her life. #A #U #Q #QuestPit
- MY LAST INNOCENT YEAR x GREEN DOT SURFACE TENSION: The problem with studying intelligent women who make bad choices? You start to see yourself scribbled all over the syllabus. Jenny’s entanglement with her English professor isn’t fiction, but she’s starting to wish it was. #U #W #A #questpit
- ALL FOURS x THE WEDDING PEOPLE THIS ENDS NOW: Lainey can orchestrate perfect days but can't stay put in a marriage, no matter how good the man. Only one way to quit bolting: face the cunning ex who taught her love is a disappearing trick—and who still has his hooks in her. #A #U #Q #WF #QuestPit
- WORKHORSE x THE RACHEL INCIDENT SURFACE TENSION: She came for a degree, not an affair. But as Jenny researches literary heroines who trade freedom for security, she starts living her thesis, all beneath the eye of a professor who prefers the only revisions to her story be his. #U #W #A #questpit
