When I was born I received a welcome card from Jimmy Carter. Now that he has died, I feel a certain part of America's humanity and decency has gone with him. I hope I'm wrong. I hope the world he worked toward is one we will realize one day.

I love researching for writing a novel. A thin thread can lead to many strange and wonderful spiders. #amwriting #writing #author #novel

Been churning out 1500 words a day and just reached 20K in my new middle grade book draft. The bad news: I have big plot holes coming up. Don't know whether I can tap dance across this chasm, but dammit, I'm gonna try. #writerslife #author #mg #novel

Really disappointed to see people across the social platforms I follow dunking on someone, regardless of their faults or whether they had family, being murdered.

I'm doing 1500 words a day on the 2.0 version of the new book. If you haven't tried an accountability partner, it's so helpful to create a mental deadline and push to reach the finish. #writerslife #author #writing #novel

Just read that Twitter asserts it owns all accounts and they allow people to use them. Is there any better reason to quit that dumpster fire of a social platform? (This is regarding the Info Wars account and @theonion.com buying it.)

#kidlichat I'd also like to thank the amazing MG Narwhals! You make a feel like a real writer. And refer to me as "the poet." @shawnproctor.bsky.social @dterkwrites.bsky.social @nicoleloosmiller.com (not sure who all is on sky!) @katieferrie1.bsky.social

Answer 1-100! I'm critiquing one of my good friend's novel about football. She's a Cowboys fan and I like the Eagles. How many teasing comments should I add about her team? #football #nfl #writing #author #mg

Heading out this morning to donate platelets at the Red Cross for the 15th time this year. Hit some bumps last month. Fingers crossed on today!

Cannot believe I was just up in Portland and didn't know there are THERAPY LLAMAS at the airport. I feel so ripped off.

It's getting hard to publish #mglit these days. If you look industry publications, there's hardly any sales for it each week. That's due to all kinds of things: a past glut of middle grade and changes in how they're sold, fewer editors, and the age-old screen vs. book issue with readers. And more.

Not sure if this fits on here, but I'm proud that Jason Kelce broke that kid's phone. No one talks about family that way. And people who use nasty slurs risk running into someone who are going to do something about it.

I voted in PA last week by mail. On election day, I'll be working 14 hours to help hundreds of people vote in person. Whether you vote early or in person, give people like me someone to talk to on a long day. Vote!

Got a form rejection on a query and a pass on a full manuscript in the same afternoon. This one hurt. #onward #writerslife
