Husband is about to bring home HYPED UP seven-year-old son home from the VERY exciting baseball game WAY past his bedtime…Why yes, I will be pretending to be asleep. How did you guess?

“White Americans aren’t afraid of the cops. White Americans are never afraid of the cops, even when they’re committing an insurrection,” @JoyAnnReid says about the Trump supporters rioting the US Capitol.

[Elie Honig @eliehonig]

It’s been about 100 hours since we learned that the President tried to force the Georgia Secretary of State to falsify election results. That was about three impeachable acts ago.

[Andrea Karin Nelson @andreaknelson]

Let’s be perfectly clear. Armed insurgents attempting a coup are allowed to breach the U.S. Capitol building, yet peaceful Black Lives Matter protesters were tear gassed and strong armed from where they (again, peacefully and lawfully) congregated in front of a church.

Coronavirus isn’t the reason my kids can’t see their grandparents.

Fucking self-centered uneducated idiot asshole anti-maskers are the reason my kids can’t see their grandparents at this point.

[Andrea Karin Nelson @andreaknelson]

Extremely disappointed with my new @PayPal business account. Already wasted 2hours on phone and being told issue needs 7-10 days to resolve. It’s making me look unprofessional. So ridiculous. I will be switching back to @WaveApplication

My protagonist just defeated the villain! I was very unsure for a very long time how I would get her there. But today, girl used all her smarts and all her strength and MADE IT HAPPEN. #amwritingfantasy #amwriting #middlegradefiction

[Andrea Karin Nelson @andreaknelson]

My 3-year-old just asked me if I know what fiction is, then told me they learned about it in preschool. That’s worth the price of tuition right there.

[Andrea Karin Nelson @andreaknelson]

Things just took a reaaaaal dark turn for my 10-year-old protagonist. Sorry girl, I’ll write you out of this mess, I promise.

Advocates for the deaf community hit me up to connect me with tools (i.e. Clipomatic) to better serve all of us.

Thanks to them, I now caption all my IG stories so our deaf brothers and sisters can follow along too.

It’s official! #StarbucksSigns. Today @Starbucks opens its first signing/ASL store in Washington DC!

[Andrea Karin Nelson @andreaknelson]

Just came to the realization that a person close to my protagonist in my current WIP needs to die. It’s clearly the right choice for the story, and yet I am already grieving it and dreading writing the scene. #amwriting

[Andrea Karin Nelson @andreaknelson]

I’m down to the final battle scene. I can do this! #amwritingfantasy #amwritingfiction

[Andrea Karin Nelson @andreaknelson]

Maybe it’s because it’s fall, which always meant the fair as a kid. For whatever reason, just gave my protagonist an evil, giant spinning teacup that spins her straight into danger. #wip #amwriting #amwritingfantasy

[Andrea Karin Nelson @andreaknelson]

Can’t put it off any longer. Time to tackle the battle scene. But first, I better order that chocolate crossaint. #amwriting #amwritingfantasy

[Andrea Karin Nelson @andreaknelson]

@EvelinaEverest @isarosepress I was 100% drawn in by the cover and title alone. I had already decided to purchase it by the time I read the jacket and found that intriguing as well. I will admit, I sometimes (often) judge a book by its cover ;-)

[Andrea Karin Nelson @andreaknelson]

Sick on a Friday night? No need to despair. A hot toddy and a new book will do just fine. #amreading #middlegradefiction
