Breaking: Arkansas Democrats just flipped a Republican seat It's the ninth red-to-blue pickup in a special election in Trump's second term

JUST IN: Democrat Alex Holladay has flipped a GOP-held seat in *Arkansas*.

Republican Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders tried hard to delay this race and wanted the seat to stay vacant for 8+ months, but the courts told her to hold it today. If she was worried, she was right to be.

Our full recap:

What are your writing plans for this week? Just like the long climb up this Edinburgh hill I'm chipping away at my novel in progress, little step by little step adds up. Feel free to share your plans for this week. #womenwriters #amwriting #wip #writinggoals

Thank you, Naomi, for chatting with us tonight! It was lovely chatting with you about your #Writing and hearing jour insights into #Gothic and #SelfPublishing. Thanks to all who came as well!

#Holidays re-energise us, leaving us with good memories. A #writingretreat does that AND leaves us with new friendships and #writing skills that last a lifetime. Learn more here: valeriavescina.com/teaching/wri... #WritingCommunity

Also, many thanks to Naomi for hanging in there despite Bluesky becoming a little glitchy toward the interview--which may be why you see a few repeated responses. It seems they are showing up now!
