@susancain When is it projected to come out? I'd love to talk to you about it for a possible magazine article (I'm a freelance article writer and fellow introvert.)

[Abigail Keyes @akeyeswriting]

I followed these guidelines and landed a pretty major magazine assignment before having lots of clips or experience. If you do your research, good things can happen! #freelance #writer #amwriting https://t.co/IJC12VDSQa

Keep yourself on track and on task with a targeted outline! #amwriting #writingtips #outline #research https://t.co/8JILf8JHMw

"You’ll save yourself a lot of time if you dial in your outline & #research before #writing a first draft." https://t.co/BZwdYA56G7

[Abigail Keyes @akeyeswriting]

This is certainly true for me. The physicality of writing by hand helps make the task seem more real. https://t.co/HfQwkZNljV

Just one hour a week! Less than 10 minutes a day. #depression #exercise #getmoving #moveeveryday https://t.co/5lk8FGDkev

How essential is exercising? A study finds that just moving 1 hour a week may curb depression risk. https://t.co/MvCFPbto5l

Humans are meant to move, not to be desk-bound. A standing desk has helped me get more done and be in less discomfort while doing it! #workstations #standingdesk #sitting #productivity https://t.co/dBTaPEvpUH

Telling jokes can be a little risky when teaching dance or fitness classes (Will my students actually laugh?), but when they work, they help build rapport, trust, and a fun learning environment. #teaching #groupex #fitness #dance https://t.co/tL9NoYtOuc

@PlantDietitian @MTVUK Yup! These struggles are real. French fries and a side salad, please.

Telling an “embarrassing story” helped people drop their inhibitions and generate more creative ideas
