I was asked about my writing in The Atlantic interview and I shared that I feel fortunate to have so much unencumbered time to write. And…I don’t think I’d have had the tenacity to deal with the rejection in my youth. There’s no perfect age to write. Hats off to anyone doing the work. #amquerying

“If you want to share a vision or tell the truth-you pick up your pen and take your chances. This is not after all tennis where sets can be measured by points… or football or games run on time …it is life open-ended…And once the play has begun, the book made… time is the only judge.” Nikki Giovanni

Why do books matter so much? Because books can open eyes & hearts & minds. They can show us the world in a different light, helping us imagine other lives. Books can connect us, bringing us together, building bridges in a world of walls. They are the greatest empathy engines ever invented. #BookSky

I’m sad to learn that my law school classmate, Kiah Duggins, died in the DC plane crash last night. Kiah was an exceptionally talented civil rights lawyer and aspiring legal scholar. I hope you’ll read about her work and the causes she cared about, some of which I’ll 🧵 below. What an immense loss

Lucy Kaylin just watched my IG story about my essay in Midlife Private Parts! I think I need to go lie down. 😅 #writersky

Remember: Books are important. YOUR books are important. YOU are important. The work of authors and artists is potentially the greatest weapon we have against fascism. (They know it, too - why else would they try so hard to ban books, restrict access to libraries, and on and on?)

This is great advice. Honestly, my rejections have been kind and encouraging. One so much so, that I reread it every time I feel the doubt creeping in.

If you don’t want to read Edgar Allan Poe together by the fireplace whilst sharing a plate of midnight macarons in an abandoned château in the French countryside during a full moon on a cold winter’s night, then please don’t tell me you’re “down for a good time”.
