I'm sorry, main character, but it's the pit of despair for you. It's for the plot, trust the process. #amwriting #writerslife

Butler's exploration of the themes of racial injustice and women's rights was not widely embraced by the male dominated sci-fi community of the 1970s, but her incredible talent and persistence led to an award-winning career filled with groundbreaking, compelling works. #blackhistorymonth

Well, I guess they're pulling the plug on Kindle Vella. I always kind of kept that one on the Maybe list for places to publish. Having to put out episodic pieces would certainly be good writing motivation 🙃 Alas...farewella, Vella! #kindlevella #writingcommunity

I was first introduced to lyrical wordsmithery of Zora Neale Hurston in my American Lit classes at uni and the way I would gasp aloud at the absolute beauty in her words - even when she wrote the most heart wrenching scenes. She was truly a powerful woman. #BlackHistoryMonth #ZoraNealeHurston

The Cailleach is coming! This Celtic goddess emerges on Feb. 1st to seek firewood. Good weather means she will gather as much as she likes (6 more weeks of cold!). In poor weather, wood will be hard to find & an early Spring is on the way. Sound silly? Punxsutawney Phil thinks not! #folklorefriday

Editing = lots of notes and I loooove these. The lines keep things neat while the tabs make the easy to find. And did I mention they're sticky, like post-its? #writingtools #writingcommunity #amediting

Good morning! This is your reminder to support your local library! Get your card and see what resources you have access to from programs and events to seed libraries, maker spaces and digital resources. Libraries are more than just books. (Although books are very lovely!)

BREAKING: President Biden and his team have brokered a ceasefire and hostage release agreement between Israel and Hamas. Unlike Trump, who left the Afghanistan withdrawal to Biden, the President has taken decisive action to resolve this critical issue. Thanks, Joe!
