I made risotto in my rice cooker for the first time. I don’t think I’ll make it the old fashioned way again. Today especially, I needed breezy and easy as copy edits drown me.

Disney just laid off the entire staff that makes National Geographic Kids books. Everyone. Gone. This hits home both as a parent and as an author of an NG kids book. Please RT if you care about these books. The CEO of Disney just received a 30% raise, bringing his pay to $41.1 million.

I use Microsoft Word the majority of time, but I use Scrivener for my rough draft novels. It makes things much easier by letting me organize my outline, research notes, and writing space into one screen, and therefore speeds the stressful process. #SpoonieAuthChat

Books designed to be read only by human eyes are different from books designed to be read by machines, which is why Google will tell you that the phrase “shake my booty” can be found in an 1863 English translation of Don Quixote.

I don't get personal on main very often, but I spent a few hours writing this, and I want you to read it. It's about my dad and my stepmom, and me, and Stranger Things, and what's happening to the VA right now. www.cheriepriest.com/blog/the-dep...

A post by my local indie bookstore, Fair Trade Books in Red Wing. I dare say, this sounds rather therapeutic.

Not only does RFK Jr not understand science. He shows here that he doesn’t grasp the very concept of cause and effect. Medications prescribed to treat a condition — by some pretty basic logic — could not possibly have caused the condition the were prescribed to treat.

Read my friend Beth's books! Totally coincidental that there's a purple octopus on the cover art... (it's not coincidence, Beth is a nerd in the best possible way, she has a book series with cover art inspired by Secret of Mana, and another series with a trans dude inspired by Faris of FF5)

When I was 13 I destroyed the family computer when I deleted the operating system because I didn't know what those files were about and I needed to free up room for more pirated anime. It never worked again. I wonder why I'm thinking about that totally random memory. Weird.

The measles outbreak in Texas is reminding me of the public letter Roald Dahl wrote about losing his daughter to measles in 1962, just before the vaccine was publicly available.
