This! This blue thingie! Like ... some kind of independent, gigantic floor (??) for the bed.

Any idea what this thing is called or if it even has a name? Halp! 🥲

English not being one's first language is awesome (you get to know at least one other language, right?)—until you're trying to search for the name of something you can't even find a picture for!

@KevinBarrick That’s probably why I get almost no interaction 😭😭

I either write 7 tweets in one day or stay off Twitter for 2 years. There’s no in-between.

@KevinBarrick You really made my day with your sweetness ☺️☺️

[Maria Gamal @mariaggendy]

@NathanJonesBook Falling asleep, mostly, which is enough to keep me awake for hours afterward 😂
Sometimes I get really good ideas in the shower as well, or when I’m working a task or doing a chore I don’t like. Best ideas ever!

[Maria Gamal @mariaggendy]

@KevinBarrick This is super sweet, Kevin. Thank you!!
I just quit my job to sort of take a nice break and try writing full time. But I’ll keep that in mind. Might actually take you up on that ;)

Thanks again! 🥰

[Maria Gamal @mariaggendy]

@KevinBarrick This is AMAZING!! I tried teaching ESL in, well, not ASL, but in Egyptian SL, and it was … wow!! It can be so rewarding! You’re teaching everything I love, pretty much. Keep up the awesome work, Kevin!

[Maria Gamal @mariaggendy]

Did I mention that I’m a full-time writer now? Whaaaaaaaaa

@KevinBarrick I can so relate! Every time I decide to write, my mind discovers a new hobby 😂 Good luck with the job, the writing, and everything in between ☺️☺️

Saw this baby gecko outside my window just now 🥰🥰 First time watching one up close.

I knew I was a big Percy Jackson fan when, in the 5 minutes I was stranded in the sky when parasailing, all I could think was, “I get now why Percy doesn’t like Zeus’s realm.”

After years of searching for a good-quality statuette of Anubis, not only did I find one, but I also found another for Sekhmet, all in Matrouh!

My #KaneChronicles collection finally feels right!

This dream was (probably) inspired by this sleep meditation by Sleep & Sorcery: https://t.co/MfOQC07mc7
Along with the fact that I attended a wedding yesterday and felt super out of place!

So, I had a dream that Chiron thought he was the last centaur on earth and was quite lonely. One day, centuries later, he was (literally) running away from some kind of social gathering and he fell into the ocean on a stormy day and ended up losing consciousness. …

[Maria Gamal @mariaggendy]

Chiron now has a wife and kids and a really big family.

The things you find when you run away from social events!
