@Kim_Moynahan I remember it! So cool. And weird. Which pretty much sums up the natural world.

I just love it when a friend achieves another writing milestone. Congratulations @SharonOverend!

I've imagined this day forever. Finally, placed a story in this brilliant literary magazine. Hope you get a chance to pick up a copy. #amwriting #writingcommmunity #shortstories #writing #amwritingfiction #writersoftwitter

This is exactly where I'll be on Saturday morning. Hanging out at @BlueHeronBooks on #IndependentBookstoreDay and celebrating @HeatherMOConnor's latest book launch of RUNS WITH THE STARS co-authored with Darcy Whitecrow.

[Writescape @Writescape_]

Ah, but @imruthwalker is on a #writing retreat with @HeatherMOConnor and T. Dekker. Baked maple salmon and butternut squash ravioli kept them fuelled and focused on The Work. (late-night peek at the U.S. drama brought out the salty caramel chocolates.)

[Toronto Star @TorontoStar]

Let's be honest with ourselves. Last night was a pizza and beer fuelled U.S. Election watch, with no clear results. Here's what you should eat the day after to give yourself energy, @karonliu writes.

In the months ahead, we'll inch closer to being closer as vaccines, treatments and thoughtful social behaviours shift with others top of mind.

Is there ageism in the literary world? Benefits and drawbacks, for sure. But for the older writers we know, the creativity is still cooking. Sometimes a slow boil. Sometimes a furious bubble. Just like younger writers.

[Susan Swan @swanscribe]

Does age decrease your creativity? Nope. @MargaretAtwood Sign up for talk with Emily Urqhart Jane Buyers and me on aging and creativity at Wild Writers event Nov 8 at 1 pm. Event Link: Click here to join the event.

Always great fodder for sci-fi/fantasy writers.

Space debris could disrupt our daily life in many ways, with the two main threats being to the lives of astronauts in space, as well as the threat to the satellites we depend on each day. https://t.co/UFyWK4qVYM

Perseverance is an essential ingredient for any writer.
