I guess I should have known what would happen when I used a bath bomb with charcoal...but I'm not greaaaat at predicting the obvious consequences of my actions... #bathbomb #selfcarefail #lush #shouldlushhavewarninglabels https://www.instagram.com/p/CBCLROIJ4xg/?igshid=18vzksvera75

*looks up from dystopian novel to check the news* I know this trope! A teenage girl inexplicably good at hacking & archery wil show up to save us any minute now... ... I guess we're gonna have to address the unjust system through laborious policy advocacy and structural change. (at Lincoln Memorial) https://www.instagram.com/p/CBBHyecJy6G/?igshid=1ic4vbbsnen6f

I just did my best #adulting ever. I was cutting an orange with the knife TOWARD myself and I thought, "Now, Zoe, what have we learned?" And I turned the knife AWAY. She can be taught!!! #alwayslearning #whiskeygirl https://www.instagram.com/p/CA1puyNJOJ7/?igshid=1vggd8gdvbfsl

Y'all we need to take a sec and talk about this series and someone needs to explain to me whyyyyyyy #gameofthrones gets an HBO series while #kushielsdart doesn't? I cannot rave about this enough. The protagonist, the world, the intrigue, the sexiness, the NOT heteronormativity of it. I've already told @jcareyauthor I'm mad about her books and now I just really need to know who I have to harrass to give her the #hboseries she deserves. Also, give me more female led, female written fantasy with queer characters puhkeez! Kthanks end rant. #fantasy #fantasyfiction #bookstagram #booklover #femaleled #bechdeltest #femalefantasywriters @hbo https://www.instagram.com/p/CAy8UuTpPot/?igshid=1ta29cknlm9qf

Editing #DAY1 : Starts early, gets distracted wondering if any other authors have used my character names. 5 hrs on Fan Fic site. Editing #DAY2 : Opens laptop. Stares at screen.
