Even well into fall, I’m thrilled to have published my personal essay SUMMER MAGIC in the @CrabCreekRev. I’ve been reading this lit mag for 20 years. Check out my take on the theme summer flings. #writingcommunity https://t.co/xYIc9AzZ5N

New personal essay out in #newsweek! It was published last week but as an emerging author my first reaction was 😳 about editorial changes. Better to get my story out there even if some of the nuance ended up on the cutting room floor. What do you think!? https://t.co/4sCRNHmxIE

Wow! I was finally able to regain access to my account after being hacked in March 2023! Twitter RIP has changed a lot in that time but I’m glad that a robot icon is no longer spamming in my name. #helloagain

Congrats to Amy Schneider! #Jeopardy is a cultural treasure, a 20 minute meditation on what can be known, a space that welcomes all with wide ranging general knowledge. The world falls away when I watch, shouting my guesses at the tv. Loved watching Amy: 💯 poise 💯 subtle rebel.

And then there was one.

Give it up for our 2022 #JeopardyToC winner, AMY SCHNEIDER 🥳🏆

@MuthaMagazine @geneticexpns @alexwbolden @RPennHannah @tylerzonia Best of luck to all of these authors! This is a great reading list to tackle as well. #amreading #pushcartprize

Book updates: got a query response from a top agent today. My title made her skip the rest of her inbox, my story was really inspiring, and she quoted back her fav of my lines. Was a no because she’s not seeking memoir at the moment, but a small win! #amquerying #writingcommunity

@LoebDavon @theoffingmag Beautiful piece. 💯💯💯

[Lisa Hanson @LisaMarieHanson]

@LoebDavon I’m proud of this piece about life as a #GraffitiMom. My story may be unusual, but I think the feeling of embodied love is one many mothers share. https://t.co/xATaDr0Bkh

“The consumer of opinion does not ask himself “Why do I believe this?” but “Who can remind me why I believe this?”” Greg Jackson, Vicious Cycles. This is a brilliant, eviscerating essay on the philosophy of news featured in the 2021 Best American Essays. https://t.co/Wzgvsg5gtm

“I believe that if you ask him, he’d tell you that this was when he started to write. Not the kind of writing that was tied to all those books we read, but the kind of writing done with spray paint at nighttime on other people’s property.”

I received my first full request from a dream agent! 🎉 Followed by a rejection. 😭Very well written and interesting story, not enough of a platform. That old yarn. Seems like a good time for a #writerslift. Fellow writers let’s build each other up! #writingcommunity #amquerying

[Lisa Hanson @LisaMarieHanson]

If #Twitter reaches an end as a dominant platform for #writers, will that transform #rejections from “very well written & interesting story, but not enough of a platform,” to “very well written & interesting story, I’d love to make you an offer.” ? #writingcommunity #amquerying

“Open your hands and let your life go. It has never been yours to do with what you will.” @legroff. The captivating Marie, 12th century abbess in #Matrix, offers wisdom that is somehow the perfect advice for the current #Twitter conundrum as we enter the @elonmusk era.

Fabulous to see a friend published in the @NewYorker! I hope to join her ranks some day. Onward and upward, @maggie_rae! #writingcommunity #amwriting #goals

I wrote about “Night Ride,” an excellent short film in which a woman steals a tram and outsmarts a bully, for @NewYorker (!!!). https://t.co/fkOaFqWZAt
