Spent last weekend with the NYC-area contingent of my writing group on a writing retreat by a lake. 6000 words written (and many articles on pigeon racing read) later, I’m exhausted, excited, and already can’t wait to sift through everything I dumped onto the page!

Book bans impact public libraries & bookstores, but it’s school libraries where they are rampant ❤️‍🩹 Many kids are unable to make it to the public library. They can’t drive, often times the library isn’t in walking distance. It’s not that their grown-ups don’t want them to be library kids. 🧵 1/11

For those asking where the Dems are, I might suggest: the right didn’t wait on the Republicans. They plotted the course & the Republicans followed, at first in small packs, but eventually all falling in line. The left may have to do something similar. Don’t wait on “the Democrats”. Show them the way

A snapshot of my research for THE MAGIC OF NOW. (My fiancé was... concerned.) But reading these helped develop my female cult leader character (à la Teal Swan, Mother God, and Elizabeth Holmes), while also exploring with nuance why people are drawn to new-age religious movements #questpit #OS #A #U
