It’s official! I DREAMED OF FALLING is out in the world! Pick up a copy wherever you get books! (This is me obviously v excited to be signing at @mcnallyjackson)

It would be impossible to list all the ways in which reading a novel each night in bed - first reading to/with my son, then solo - enriches my life. If I could point to one habit that has kept me sane *and* engaged in the world, it's that. I wish it for everyone.

“Gambling has become a more common leisure activity than reading a book.” This is just unimaginably bleak.

Roll call: who’s at #AWP26? Come say on Thursday morning!

@GusSaltonstall I used to walk by it every night on the way home. Magical.

They will look you dead in the face and say J6 rioters with guns, poles, bats, etc were patriots, but an ER Nurse with a camera and a registered firearm was a domestic terrorist.

@SenSchumer DO SOMETHING

@taiharrow I came back but get no traction, sadly. What a shell of a place this has become 😭

This should be treated like the crisis it is

Can we get health care now?

I know this marks me squarely Gen X, but name a better first song first album than “Radio Free Europe” on REM’s Murmur

The FBI searching Hannah Natanson’s home for classified documents is an attack on the first amendment meant to chill sources and journalism. Her reporting this year has been outstanding.

Being a writer means knowing exactly how your story ends, and having absolutely no idea how to get there

[Julia Dahl @juliadahl]

Every writer measures success differently: I keep track of the words I write each day on my novel-in-progress. December was not great, but I'm aiming for 15k in January. What are you writing goals this month? #amwriting

[Julia Dahl @juliadahl]

@jjmaples55 I found it first, then went back. Loved.

If you're thinking about how you can make 2026 the year you can start, make progress on, or even finish that novel you've been trying to write, you're in luck: There are two spots left in my upcoming Fiction for Journalists online class! DM me for info...

@Romy_Holland We started spacing feedings out at 8 weeks and adding formula. By 5 months or so he could sleep through the night. Were there nights he cried? Sure. But doc said he was getting enough and I wanted to teach him that nighttime is sleep time, not eating or singing or rocking time
