Soph | S.J. Montgomery

10,000 words of dev edits done between December and today. I need a medal, a nap, and a cocktail.

The perfect remedy, thanks Bill 😄

I read a bit of the manga as a kid, loved the live action, and now me and my other half are barrelling through the anime. We're on full Straw Hat madness in our house.

I've also caught the One Piece obsession, never thought it would come for me but it was only a matter of time. So excited for season 2 of the live action!!

Learning from my italian friend that it's a remake of a 1970s show, and is apparently just as corny as its forebear, has only made me want to watch it more

Day 4 of sinus cold with no sign of relief: huaaoourrghghh.

I could pen this, by the way. I believe I have what it takes. There WILL be puppets.

I hate to say it, I truly do, but in a live action of The Last Unicorn, Timothee Chalamet would make the perfect Schmendrick.

Nothing like a bit of Dectectorists to make me wish I was sitting in a field in mild weather drinking weak sweet coffee out of a flask.

I was supposed to be taking myself out for a little writing day retreat at Gladstones today but I woke up full of snot 😭 sofa writing/rotting it is.

I know, I don't get it! But it seems that for a lot of people in acquisition it's a hard No for some reason. That's a great list you just pulled up though, maybe there's still hope for mine after all!

So many editors specifically have "no animal stories/animal protagonists" on their lists which is so sad for me specifically 😭 what's that all about. You don't want mouse? with sword? angry feminist mouse with sword and her gay frog prince best friend?? #UKKidLit

Watched the first 2 episodes of Small Prophets and it's exactly the kind of thing I wanted to make in uni. It really reminds me of a script I wrote that I'm gonna have to dig out and revisit.

It's perfect, constant rewatch in mine and @samndoesart.bsky.social 's house we've watched it about 8 million times

Suddenly remembered this for no reason and had to scroll back to find it and now I'm laughing again. Good morning, double ADHD peas.

Quick question for other writers: when does rest come?? Oh God when do we rest???? Thanks in advance!

Was there ANYTHING more smug than the kids on the playground who wrongly insisted the lyrics were "I'm blue, if I was green I would die"???

I've been so busy working away at The Nesting Room but today I've been thinking about my other book on sub Lilymouse and how much I love it. It's so special and timely I am shaking it at acquiring editors like a bag of dreamies. Pspsps, you want feminist Redwall for modern audiences with LGBTQ rep?

All this to say, if they get this far in the live action, Water 7 is gonna RIPPPPP!!

My One Piece journey has been unconventional (read a few manga as a kid > dropped it > didn't care for years > watched the live action and LOVED IT > started watching the anime) and this thing will really have you saying the most dumb stereotypical shid like "oh man just wait til you get to water 7"

I am so wildly flabbergasted that EVERY advert for any AI tool comes with the onscreen text "sequences shortened, results may be inaccurate, not currently available in this format". They're fully stating that it's a lie and their product doesn't work as advertised!!! Surely this is not legal.

If you used AI to write it, I don’t want to read it. Simple as that.

And if you used AI for the cover and promo, it's going to make me think that what's inside is AI too.

Finishing up with an enormous lunch, a scenic drive home, and gettin comfy with my guy Totoro. Fin 😌 #hourlycomicsday

First time in YEARS that I've actually been out and about for hourlies. It's my last day of my nice long week off work and we made the most of the dry weather with a little hike! #hourlycomicsday

I'm not very good at drawing, but I've never let that stop me; aka, it's #hourlycomicsday!

The cat’s out of the bag!! I’m so excited that I can finally announce this and shout it from the rooftops: I’M GOING TO BE A PUBLISHED AUTHOR! My debut middle grade novel, TINY PURPLE THREADS will be coming out with Lerner in Fall of 2027.

I cannot wait to share more of Sophie’s story!!

You want Game of Thrones + Bridgerton but middle grade suitable... and with mice and frogs?
