A science fiction writer and Star Trek fan with more kids than time. I write at the park, library, or school, and my house is always a little messy. #amwriting

Merry Happy Christmas Troy to one and all!

@MissBellaKim At least it’s not the Cranberry.

What is it about making a stocking three nights before Christmas that causes my sewing machine to break?

Every time! 🤬

@abbythetweet I’m trying to now. Telescoping characters into one. Dropping all the “ran her hands through her hair” of which I’m a big fan. And side plots. I’m a sucker for a great side plot.

@abbythetweet As someone who finished a first draft this year at 192k - I feel your pain. I like big books and I cannot lie.

This the season to… look longingly at my WIP on the computer, then run out the door to my kids’ next holiday activity.

@AE_Hayes This happened at my son’s gym. We quarantined him at home away from everyone - I’m talking shut door eating meals at odd times masking to the bathroom - until he was within the range to be tested. (Negative!) We told the school our plan. Period. They decided to get on board!

@AE_Hayes I’m in remission and I’m so with you. Even following full lock down procedures, we still get unmasked door to door salesmen?!?! My husband backs them off the porch (politely but firmly) yelling from six feet: she’s in remission - you can’t be here!!

#writers Advice on finding a writer’s group? We move too much to find one locally. And apparently my husband is too busy with work to read all my originals, my edits, then give me detailed criticism. 🙄 Anyone have luck finding their 8-9 special someones on #nanowrimo #wattpad ?

[Anna Smith @acbennettsmith]

Um… yes please. There’s only so many times you can watch different people do the same triple spin round off without feeling like EVERYONE can apparently do a triple spin round off. Law of diminishing returns.

I think Olympic events should have one average person doing each event for comparison

Family Vacation means now I can add the Grand Canyon to places I’ve yelled at my kids. 🙄

@deapoirierbooks How do I not live in a world where this exists? I’d like a Java chip raptorccino - Rex sized.

I'm looking forward to the weekend.

@hollhideaway Haunting of Hill House. Nell in the car with her sisters. I screamed so loud, my kids came to my room to make sure I was okay. THAT is how you do a jump scare!

I just had my first ever mint fudge dipped Oreo and y’all... I may never eat cake again.

You know when you spend fifteen minutes adjusting your monitor’s brightness settings, you are staring down the long barrel of writer’s block.

Cancer touches so many families.

Thank you @whitmanwalker and @cancersupporthq for hosting me today to talk about support for cancer patients and caregivers, as well as the impact of COVID-19 on access to health care, screenings, and prevention efforts.

@museofdestiny I have three kids AND a hubby with ADHD. Let’s just say my walk-in closet has a cozy corner....

[Anna Smith @acbennettsmith]

Anyone else eating up Biden news like it’s potato chips?
