"Can you help me fix this plot hole?" the writer says as if they aren't going to pace around and rant about the problem until they talk through it and fix it themselves and all you got to do was say "huh yes I see" a few times.

Overheard from a woman on the phone today: 'Hey, what's the book club book for tonight?'

Godspeed, you absolute maniac.

If you’re still wearing a mask when you go out, please retweet this tweet. I just want to see how much common sense is still out there.

This is the guy I based SCRUBS on and my best pal from college. He’s out here in Los Angeles running a hospital (like JD would), and I’m proud he’s a pal. He changes clothes in his garage at night to try to keep his kids from getting sick and IS married to “real Elliot”.

There was a herd of bison walking right toward me at @YellowstoneNPS today!

We pray today for families who need to manage a difficult situation, especially those families with a disabled person among them. Let us pray they do not lose their peace in this moment and that they succeed in moving forward with strength and joy. https://t.co/BxMeg6vRRm

some kids are horse girls, others were Lord of the Rings nerds who taught ourselves Elvish and had impeccable Gollum impressions and have been known to yell “let this be the hour when we draw swords together!” or “it comes in PINTS? I’m getting one!” at inappropriate moments.

Look, writing books isn’t that hard.
All you have to do is build an armored giant out of all your fears and then fight it to the death and melt the metal down to forge a pair of doors locked by doubt and go on a quest to find the key and then sit your ass in the chair and write.

[CG Drews @PaperFury]

writing is...
• opening your laptop and then closing it again
• typing with one hand because you're also eating a snack
• being ferociously in love with your story bUT ALSO terrified you do not have the skills to do it justice
