If one more politician responds with, "Look..." (followed with nauseating "sincere hands,") I'm going to lose it. Lose. It.

As a writer, there is no author-shaped container you need to fill to be an author. Instead, stay true to your writing voice, stay true to your story, and stay true to yourself. #amwriting - Wrtr ... Keep #Writing ~Enjoy and be the author that you are. #author #writer #authorsky

Don’t shame people for not immediately reading all the books they buy. Some books aren’t made to be ready right away, okay? Some books need time to mature. Some books need to cure for a while. Some books are prosciutto, and don’t you forget it.

It hit me recently that p0litics has overtaken my social media. To balance, I'm sharing passages from fellow authors that caused me to stop and reread the beauty in their words. Am I still angry? Yep. But we need art and beauty and joy. Besides, books apparently piss them off. πŸ˜† πŸ“š β™₯️ #booksky

Put a roast on overnight in case we lost power. (The Southeast US doesn't do ice and snow well.) Woke to a blanket of snow and the smell of black pepper, roast beef and coffee. Where am I? What time is it? My brain is confused but what a fun #5amwritersclub.

How to write: Stop not writing. Keep your butt in the chair. Write really bad small sections of the wholeβ€”passages, moments, episodes, memoriesβ€”til you have an incredibly shitty 1st draft. Then take out the boring parts, the lies and pretensions. Then write a better 2nd draft.

I’m a gun owner, and I respect the rights of responsible gun owners. That said, the second amendment will continue to be watered with the blood of children until the laws change.

I think a certain tweety bird has forgotten that Big Bird is from the streets.

My elf-loving kids are officially adults now. We broke out the box of letters last year, read them and laughed until we cried. But I'm perfectly content with their retirement. 🀣 The little monsters are exhausting.
