My friend's toddler refers to cemeteries as "zombie holders" so now I do too.

I now have a standing desk in my writing room! Game changer! (I also put it together myself, which--my wife is always the Builder Lesbian and I'm the Organize The Parts and Screws Lesbian, so I'm pretty proud of that, too.)

I'm about 2/3 through this developmental edit and so far I've added 4 brand new chapters plus several new scenes. Writing my gaymo dork baby Charlie again after 6+ months of querying/submission/negotiation etc is pure joy. I love this story so much and I'm so damn lucky I get to publish it 😭🥹😊

Hit the midpoint on this big edit today! Feels like a win! 💪🥰

I don't but I've been wondering if I should! Thank you!

👋👋Hi! I'm Carli. I write YA. My debut, a sapphic sports romance about a hockey player forced to team up with a pairs figure skater, will be published with HarperTeen in winter 2025. Happy to connect here with everyone! 🥰

Haku 🥰🥰

Saaaaame!!
