rather than scream more, this is a good opportunity to say that I'd love to work on a book of deeply researched cultural criticism about taste, the value of art, and how both are historically and intrinsically wrapped up in the erasure of disenfranchised voices. #MSWL

#MSWL: I've spent most of the last 15 yrs of my life in basements, warehouses, old storefronts across the US listening to live music and meeting the best people. I'd love to see that captured authentically in fiction (but pls god don't write it if you didn't live it.)

as a gal with many straight, strictly platonic, male best friends, I would love to see more of that in both YA and Adult #MSWL

#mswl: give me your characters who don't usually get their love stories told, give me your most charming banter, give me your ideal OTP that you never got to see on screen, give me characters that look like you and your and me and my friends.

#mswl: give me your early/mid/late twenties coming of age, give me your 'how do I pay bills' and 'what do I do now', give me your friend families, give me your friendship is it's own type of glorious romance, give me your 'how can we grow up together'.
