Writing and coffee-ing and reading and Jesus and naps and my favorite man and then more coffee and Octobers. Though not necessarily in that order.

I'm going to Enter the Room on Saturday - yay birthdays!
Also ngl Medieval Library is about the perfect theme, no? https://t.co/AyMAiOxDtd

@joynessthebrave Twitter randomly notified me of your tweet and I guess the Twitter gods knew what I needed this week. 😭💔

@joynessthebrave But also I truly love your podcast! It's beautiful and heartening and intellectual and I love it.

@joynessthebrave 👏🏻👏🏻 (Feeling ridiculously pleased that I was accidentally the 100th "like" on this post.)

@joynessthebrave Emily Dickinson (there's definitely no particular reason I named my daughter Emily - see also Emily of New Moon) and LM Montgomery. And the book The Yearling by Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings. And @ChristiePurifoy every single time. ❤️

@joynessthebrave Half the time it's deli meat and sliced cheese while I lean despondently in the counter, and the rest of the time it's sauteed veggies with elaborate seasonings, gourmet eggs, served with ambient music playing softly. 🤷🏻‍♀️

@joynessthebrave Tried to hear it in a Northwest Minnesota accent (hi folks! 👋🏼) And it came out "Whelp, can't say I'm unhappy 'bout it." 😂

[Gianna Soderstrom @gianna_strom]

@joynessthebrave Can one hear "I am not displeased" in anything but a posh English accent?

@thedtrblog It's finally SUNNY AND WARM here in Colorado and I'm here for it. 👌🏼

me and my homeschool crew barricaded in the basement listening to relient k, refusing to go out in public or interact with anyone, anyway what's all this about a virus

A delivery man brought flowers to my door only they were for the neighbor and tbh I've never been more tempted to steal somebody's identity.

I ate a large quantity of chocolate today and I am ok with that as a life choice.

@thehopewriters For me, it's less about getting inspiration and more about making space for it: long walks, exercise, down time - all allow my brain to clear, which is when I find I'm most inspired.

@joynessthebrave Does America have Poet-centric holidays like that? Because I would 100% decorate my house for Emily Dickinson. 🤷🏻‍♀️ Or have a holiday plant that's just leaves of grass... 🥳

@the_stasia_bug According to my friend who married a Dutchman, it's a Catholic/Protestant difference. (At least in Holland.) Catholics use their left hand, Protestants their right.

@KateQuinnAuthor @ReeseW Sympathy, but also I just finished The Alice Network and WOW - cheering you on Sunday hard because I can't wait to read your next book!!

[Gianna Soderstrom @gianna_strom]

@joynessthebrave Yes I'm but I'm pretty sure that's what Saturdays are for (as I wait until I'm hungry shaky to consider food, only to throw healthy aspirations out the window in favor of heaping spoons of peanut butter.)
