Bird by bird. All the live-long day.

I don’t seem to be writing much anymore, beside the occasionalFB post on keeping the faith. But if I started again, I’d tell myself to write bird by bird; a really shitty first draft; to keep my butt in the chair; then go through and take out the lies, adverbs and boring parts.

@formaggio Put me in, coach! Tarali, buttermilk blue, Tupelo honey, a salted dark chocolate bar, and a 20-year tawny port.

To my journalist followers (especially those freelancing) — working on what’s next for @FacesOfCOVID.

If I could connect you to families who want to share their stories of loss & had funding to pay $1/word to write profiles (to be published @FacesOfCOVID) would you participate?

Ever since her beloved owner was hospitalized, this dog walks to the hospital every day and sits outside, waiting to see him 😢

I have a message for all the little girls and boys out there who dream of growing up to be superheroes: Superheroes walk among us.

They’re teachers, doctors, scientists, vaccine researchers—and you can grow up to be like them too.

Somehow we weathered and witnessed
A nation that isn't broken
but simply unfinished
There is always light
if only we're brave enough to see it
if only we're brave enough to be it.

Thank you, @CommonwealthFN , for honoring my family’s superhero—and all of the superheroes in the Commonwealth family. Shift after shift, my brother puts his life on the line in ways we’d never expected. Ensuring the safety and wellbeing of those in need is his calling.

@_SarahHowes I love it!

Saw this flyer in my neighborhood. Seeing how winter is coming, I'd say slow & steady won't work this time...😳

[Holly Sivec Mattson @hdsivec]

@courtneytenz Gorgeous writing as always, my friend. I still have—and regularly use—my chopsticks from that long-ago chapter and think fondly of you each and every time.

[Holly Sivec Mattson @hdsivec]

@CFNcareers @CommonwealthFN @GlennonDoyle This was *such* a good book! Liberating, peaceful, and inspiring. I’m bummed I couldn’t make it to the get-together.

And while that is a ridiculous string to type every time I want to use my favorite punctuation mark while working remotely, these are ridiculous times. I’ll take it. See ya, touchpad and insert symbol menu. 💃🏻

Just learned that I can make an Em dash on my compact laptop keyboard using 2014 + alt + x—and I’m now living my best #wfhlife. 🤸‍♀️🤸‍♀️🤸‍♀️🎉

Writers only want one thing and it's an Em dash on the keyboard
