Notice the pattern below?

@amysuardi @austinkleon @masoncurrey @amysuardi you are so right. All that work is spring training, at-bats that improve writing. it is never, never wasted.

@GuerillaMemoir @brevitymag Exactly. How your experience made you feel mad, sad, or glad isn't enough. 3 questions for any writer: Why you? Why now? Who cares? Answer those and you may have something. Also, adding an unexpected twist helps.

@GuerillaMemoir @tucker_shaw This is brilliant. Thank you so much for mentioning it. Great, spare writing, not a word wasted. Glorious.

@HarrisFanaroff I give you my favorite Walt Whitman quote: “Every child begins the world anew.” And do they ever. It will be glorious. Congratulations!

'The ugly truth is that our nation was founded & built in part on white supremacy.'

Take a few minutes to listen to Judge Susan Eagan explain the role racism played in the Buffalo, NY, supermarket shooting & how pervasive it remains in U.S. society since the country’s founding.

@DouglasLoverro @mtgreenee Exactly. @mtgreenee, if you weren't so ill-read in history, you just might understand that we tried this before and IT DID NOT WORK.
