@KaylaJamesGrey @carolineschley @ReedPatterson16 @ChrissyNakamoto @BeansIsFrank @izabellkey If you’re questioning whether you are the right person to be telling a story about a POC then maybe you’re not. There are some topics that are highly sensitive/political/personal that I believe non-POCs should stay away from or write from an outsiders angle instead.

[Elizabeth Leiro 📖🖊 @elizabethleiro]

@KaylaJamesGrey @carolineschley @ReedPatterson16 @ChrissyNakamoto @BeansIsFrank @izabellkey Read own-voice POC works. If you don’t feel comfortable with a POC as your MC, then make your POC a main side-character who is as rich & complicated as any human. Positive POC representation is always a plus. Think about how many fictional “role-models/heroes” non-POCs have.

Things that don't matter for fiction writers who want an agent and a traditional book deal:

Your following
Your website
Your Instagram
Your popularity
Your tweets
Your age
Your degree
Your lack of a degree
Your social skills

Things that do matter:

Your book
Your query letter

Only in LA would they be filming a movie/commercial/something on the street in front of my house around 10pm. 😅

It’s kinda cool if they can tone down the honking every 15 minutes or so.

Allergy Shots are a bad idea in the short term. I hope these damn things work ‘cause I’m about to rip my arm off and I’ve been 110% unmotivated for the last 8 weeks 😓

Only four more months of weekly shots to go and then 1x month for 4-5 years :))))

@zlikeinzorro Why is he doing this?? This is anarchy. 😧

[Elizabeth Leiro 📖🖊 @elizabethleiro]

3 thoughts about this scandal:

1. My alma mater is just selective ... mmkay

2. Even w/student loans, I still paid less than these kids/their parents to go to USD

3. I got in based on my own merits*

*or did I & this is how my parents finally reveal we’re actually super rich?🤔

[Clint Smith @ClintSmithIII]

Thinking about all the black, brown, & low-income students who arrive at college & who are made to feel as if they don't deserve to be there, while so many wealthy students have their parents essentially buy their way into these schools & rarely experience the same skepticism.
