@JohnRSamuelsen Anecdotal, but my husband is a Dem poll watcher in Washoe County and he said the age demographic was much younger today than yesterday.

@ConnorO91552897 @TrumpDailyPosts @realDonaldTrump She went to Howard University, an historically black college, and joined a black sorority there. Just FYI.

@JimThomsen Thanks for the mention, @JimThomsen! So glad you liked my dark Nevada tale.

[Heather Young @HYoungwriter]

@aprilhenrybooks Sigh. Historical fiction.

[Heather Young @HYoungwriter]

@aprilhenrybooks Hooray for all of that, from non-life threatening urgent care to finishing the book, and definitely in that order!

[Heather Young @HYoungwriter]

@readbydusk Well, thank you! I do like to write horrifying stories, but those who write true horror are in a league of their own ;)

[Heather Young @HYoungwriter]

@readbydusk @JoshuaMoehling @JaniceHallett @pjvernonbooks @jconnollybooks @mstiefvater @JanelleMonae @PhilipGrayBooks I am honored to be included on this list! And envious of anyone who can write horror—I love to read it, but it’s not my forte.

@michellebrower @msheatherwebb That's perfect!

[Heather Young @HYoungwriter]

@chelseabwrites It's happened to me, too. In fact, the only time I've had a crowd at a reading was the launch of my debut, when my friends and family showed up because I (1) told them I would cry if they didn't and (2) threw a party afterward with free food and drinks.

[Heather Young @HYoungwriter]

@Candysbookcase @will_carver @PaulCleave Ooh I hope you like mine!’

[Heather Young @HYoungwriter]

@michellebrower It happened a couple of years ago! It was the golden retriever, of course!

@santiagomayer_ @Thefussballfan3 Up to 3/4 of all those who will ultimately vote, right, not 3/4 of all who are eligible? (Because while 75% turnout from Gen Z would be a political earthquake, I'm thinking 40% is more realistic.)

@Natfree37 Well, there’s only one so far—I am a sloooow writer, alas—but I sure appreciate you wanting to read it!

[Heather Young @HYoungwriter]

@ChadBown I’m glad you liked it. Im always happy to provide surprising twists along with my subtle commentary on global trade bottlenecks!

[Heather Young @HYoungwriter]

@ChadBown It’s possible I was thinking about the Sears washing machine I ordered that was delayed six months by “container shortages” in 2020 lol
