Bestselling author of six novels, also two kids. I like to run and read (not both at once) VIVIAN IN RED available now

Got one foot out the door. If we talk here, we probably talk elsewhere, too. But in case you're interested:

Or, you know, search up my email like it's 1999. My funny last name makes me easy to find

Or maybe people didn't converse because the algorithm didn't surface my tweets. And/or maybe I'm just boring, here. Fair enough. Either way, though, it became boring to *me*.

[Kristina Riggle @krisriggle]

Downloaded my Twitter archive, immediately scrolled to my oldest tweets (I started with a private acct). SO banal, stuff like "coffee, feeding the baby". Nothing performative or broadcasting, not meant for consumption. Just...stuff I was doing

[Kristina Riggle @krisriggle]

Even before the great Muskening, I was barely here. Not b/c of trolls, they mostly didn't notice me. But b/c the chatty, watercooler aspect evaporated. People didn't seem to *converse* much anymore. All broadcast and hot takes and dunks.

[Kristina Riggle @krisriggle]

Submitted a request to download my Twitter archive (oh, no special reason, lol, just that this whole site may crumble to dust) ... anyone else done this? How long does it usually take?

[Kristina Riggle @krisriggle]

@JD_Rhoades Just logged on for the first time in weeks with the express purpose of trying to download my archive in case it's all gone forever tomorrow. (I'm barely ever here, but I want to preserve my tweets as a diary of sorts)

Reading now! It’s a gem 🇫🇷 #jacquelineinparis

[Sarah Pekkanen @sarahpekkanen]

Can’t wait to read @AnnMahNet’s new novel, Jacqueline in Paris, the poignant coming-of-age story of Jacqueline Bouvier’s year abroad before the world knew her as Jackie Kennedy. @WriterUnboxed @HarperCollins https://t.co/tuFvwKrxso

[Kristina Riggle @krisriggle]

@bringstrom It’s a fair cop (though, I was more like 28, which hits different)

[Kristina Riggle @krisriggle]

I could *not* put this down … go get it!!!

Scene: Son and his friends playing Taboo (guessing game).
Friend: "The thing that America likes."
Everyone: "Guns! Cheeseburgers! Oil!"

(It was oil)

My first published novel was my fifth completed manuscript. Aspiring writers tend to greet this fact w/ horror, or a knowing, somber nod.

[Chrissy Davis @chrissydvs10]

Published authors: How many manuscripts did you write before the one that got you published? #WritingCommunity

@Sandra_Gulland It's so poignant how his parents helped him with his final message. Anyone would understand if they wanted to spend his last hours doing anything else. But they knew it mattered to him. <3

I tried to think of a loss in my generation that matched her sadness. Kurt Cobain, maybe? But there's a kind of fellowship with fans now that would have been impossible then.

My heart goes out to his family, friends and fans.

[Kristina Riggle @krisriggle]

My kid is heartbroken about the death of Technoblade. It's such an unusual relationship ppl now have with creators...personal in a way our generation never had with our own stars and heroes. https://t.co/qhMcAcWion

Don't be distracted by claims of "hearsay." That goes to whether evidence can be admitted in *court,* not Congress.

The key is that Hutchinson testified *under oath.* If she was lying, she faces felony charges. The same can't be said for those trying to discredit her testimony.

[Kristina Riggle @krisriggle]

"Reached up to grab at the steering wheel..." 😱

Cassidy Hutchinson testified what she was told about interactions between Trump and his security detail when he was told he could not go to the U.S. Capitol following his rally on Jan. 6. https://t.co/hI7BPgtX9Y
