If you were loud about Charlie Kirk and silent about Trey Reed and Corey Zukatis, maybe the tears, ashes and sackcloth were more about signaling to and aligning with power than about deep held beliefs on justice and mercy.

Parents and teachers of middle schoolers: are Saturday due dates a normal thing now? We dropped the kids off at grandma's Friday night (w/o school laptops) and kept them busy all day Saturday with errands--explicitly setting aside time on Sunday for her assignment -- only to discover it was late!

When I was little, the U.S. military came to our home at gunpoint and took me and my family away. We were imprisoned for years in barbed wire camps simply because we were Japanese American. I have spent my life telling that story, hoping it would never be repeated.

Itโ€™s really weird to slide into the DMs of a writer to tell them they havenโ€™t published recently enough, or promoted their past titles enough.
And yet, here I am: with someone in my messages critiquing the performance of an anthology I contributed to a couple of years ago. #writingcommunity

We have witnessed lawmakers killed for progressive beliefs. We have witnessed senators thrown to the ground and cuffed because they questioned. We have seen people gassed, shot, trampled for peaceful protest. And we came out anyway. Because quietly abiding hasnโ€™t protected us. And we are many.

Yes. And also, wouldn't hate it if Andy Weir actually wrote the book he's credited with, and based it off this whole mess. ๐Ÿ‘€#writingprompt

Was just reading through the bios of some agents on an agency page, and most had a link to a bluesky account listed. I clicked on one and was taken to [formerly twitter]
friends, it was a legit jump scare.

One thing on my mind is that humor and satire can be very powerful (and popular) in times like these. So out of the different WIP ideas Iโ€™m mullling over, my current project has the most potential. No promises that I can actually pull it off ๐Ÿ˜†

Morning #crpglasswings! I'm Nicky, and I'm currently querying a YA fantasy about a girl who's forced to live & work in the government building, & discovers a shadow monster killing staff at night.
I plan to use my #camprevpit time to begin drafting my new project: Shrek x Beauty and the Beast

Citizens United is among the worst decisions in history. It corrupts our system every day.

I skimmed the explainer page, but got the impression camp is for projects in revisions, not drafting new ones. So, this is great news!

Are there cabins or other portions of #camprevpit aimed for writers moving on to a new project?

Can the #RevPit hive mind help me identify this sweet little number? I mustโ€™ve grabbed as a screen grab a long time ago because I came across it in my photos, but thereโ€™s no clue where I got it from.
