I used to shy away from shameless self promotion. Then I realized that was the entire point of having a Twitter account! So I'm sharing this because I can.

The worst thing that can happen to a writer, publisher or editor happened to me today. My hard drive died. Which makes all this much, much harder. If you don't see anything else from me this week, now you know why.

Why are people still playing #Fallout76? Are they masochists? Or is there actually something redeemable in the train wreck given us by Bethesda?

No. No, there isn't.

The First Amendment protects speech, but not all speech. It can't be used to protect hate speech. Never be afraid to stand up for your rights, or the rights of others. #FreeSpeech #FirstAmendment

Please take the time to think about those who serve you this holiday season. They are there to help you, not be stepped on, yelled at or attacked. #RetailWorkers, #FoodServiceIndustry, #TheaterEmployees. Everyone deserves respect.

I miss looking up and seeing stars. They were a source of inspiration to a young child, and now that source is tainted by a train of satellites and light pollution. #SpaceX #Satellites #MilkyWay

#Grammar is a hot topic for everyone in the publishing industry, from writers to editors. Rules exist, but sometimes it's okay to break them. I guess. Maybe. I'm still working on that. #LetItGo #Typos #autocorrect

@ProofreadingHQ My personal favorite was always "flub." As in, "I flubbed my lines." It's a word that isn't a word and makes no sense, which is why it works perfectly.

I sometimes ramble a bit when I start getting passionate about a topic. To see The Empire Strikes Back trending today had me waxing nostalgic. #StarWars #EpisodeV #EmpireStrikesBack

For those who believe gun control is a non-issue, today's post is not for you. As for me, I'm past sad, past tired, and past angry. I've had enough. #SaugusShooting

Diversity isn't a bad word, and a book about a different viewpoint is one of the ways we can learn to empathize with others.

"Publishers with overwhelmingly white teams need to [understand]: sometimes, books just weren’t written for them. If a story isn’t relatable to their own life, it doesn’t mean the book isn’t good. It means that they and the writer view the world through different lenses."

Laws are not suggestions. They are things we, as a society, have decided are required for the safety and security of all. So why do so many feel they are either above the law or an exception to it? #RetailLife
