Long time reader, first time writer. I love snark, staying indoors, and the Oxford comma.

Writing is more than putting words on the page. It's googling "the most painful place to stab someone." It's spending hours creating character inspo boards on Pinterest. It's staring at an empty Word document, while in your mind the screaming grows ever louder. 😐 #writerslife

@hankgreen I know, right. A few bats flew out of the CD case.

Driving home in the sunshine and singing along with my favorite Internet science guy. It's getting real 2008 in this car and I'm loving it! Thanks for making my day a bit brighter, @hankgreen

I knew 1015 was going to be good, but that was SPECTACULAR! Gorgeous animation, moving character moments, and when We Are started playing, my little nerd heart just EXPLODED. 😭
Bravo to Ishitani Megumi and the whole One Piece team! #onepiece1015

@hankgreen @johngreen I feel thoroughly conversation baited.

[Deidre Barker @d_b_writes]

@authorJDMay Not intentionally, lol. I may have taken a day off my actual project to write 1000 words for a random vampire novel.

[Deidre Barker @d_b_writes]

Every writer is allowed one ridiculous vampire novel, right? 🦇

It’s November 1st, just past midnight, and in the corner of a disused desk, I spy my objective. I lift a tattered notebook and read the three letters inked on its cover: WIP. My lips tighten. My heart pounds. I take a deep breath. “It is time,” I say.

@Lydales To be continued. Lol

[Deidre Barker @d_b_writes]

@RealLIfeGriffin That implies I sleep anymore.

[Deidre Barker @d_b_writes]

@MagicalOverload Lack of direction. Up until college graduation, my path and goals were pretty clear. Then I graduate, and... what am I supposed to do? Anything, everything.

[Deidre Barker @d_b_writes]

@emenaywrites I know mine isn't very good, but I treat it as a learning experience. Whatever I learn through failing this attempt can make the next book better!

[Deidre Barker @d_b_writes]

@ChrisBWrites Congrats! I'm still working on my own first draft.

[Deidre Barker @d_b_writes]

@safopus Lately? Hand sanitizer and a face mask.

@JessKHardy2000 Sounds like everyone is saying the same thing then.

[Deidre Barker @d_b_writes]

@linneaharts The secret is having both anxiety AND depression. Then you feel compelled to be useful, but can't summon the motivation to do anything. So you just feel like a failure on your couch while eating nachos and watching YouTube.
