My 4yo’s teacher said he’s telling his classmates that I’m BFFs with @taylorswift13 . Clearly I’m doing something right. #itsmehi #TaylorSwift

I set a goal for myself to edit for ten days straight. So far, I am 6 for 6. I am setting a goal for this draft to be DONE on June 1st. If I keep up this pace, I know I can do it! #amrevising #writinggoals #wegotthis

I abandoned the novel I was reading today and I feel SO GUILTY. Used to be, I finished everything no matter how uninspiring. Then after I had breast cancer I let this go. But still...GUILT.

[Jess R. Tackett @jessrtackett]

Writing is hard. Parenting is hard. Teaching is hard. But I love all three. #tryingtofindbalance

[Jess R. Tackett @jessrtackett]

@catherinedrake Yes, girl. After a successful hour of grading papers, two girls sat next to me and were so loud I had to leave. Miss you and our @Starbucks dates!

I’m not on this list, I’ve never been on this list, not even on the list off the list. But you know what? There’s always next year. It took me 21 tries to get a starred Kirkus review and the feeling was far sweeter for the working and the waiting. https://t.co/R4TkH5RRcQ

[Jess R. Tackett @jessrtackett]

I’m thankful for many things during the holidays, but I am especially grateful for friendships that span distance & time. We haven’t seen each other in 2 years, but I am so thankful for you @catherinedrake! And always grateful for your generosity & book picks. #amreading #Sadie

[Jess R. Tackett @jessrtackett]

Yes, girl! I miss sushi, chats, and YOU! Reunion soon 😘 Who knew Hollins would give me so much more than a MFA-so thankful for you and our friendship.

[Catherine Drake @catherinedrake]

TFW when you have a really, really good editing session, and you want to schedule a sushi date with @jessrtackett to talk writing like the old days, but you live 3+ hours from each other. 😭 Miss you, friend! I hope we can see each other at some point soon!

Yesss! I’ve already gone through Theodore’s bag 🙈🙃

Happy day after Halloween, aka the day you try not to eat all your kid’s candy while she’s at school. 🤷🏼‍♀️🎃

[Jess R. Tackett @jessrtackett]

It’s just a bunch of hocus pocus.
