Redid my website through Notion, and I'm really happy with how it turned out! Super proud of myself for creating all the section headers. Check it out!

We live in a culture of ten-second reels, history as memes, AI that can summarize Hamlet in a sentence. And all of it is designed to make you distracted, your attention fragmented, your brain weakened. Read whole books, get an offline hobby, resist the infinite scroll.

@mims_words Mad respect. After the first one I was like, I'm good lol!

Before I close to submissions in November, I want to see more horror in my inbox. It can be as scary (or as tame) as you like, for YA, NA, or Adult! #mswl #WritingCommunity

[Lauren Spieller @laurenspieller]

Heads up, querying writers: I'm closing to queries in mid-November and likely won't open again until mid-Feb! #WritingCommunity

@andreaberting YES!

I saw something about this being shared recently and had the same thought. Like, why can't kids just spend the holiday similarly? It's a nice gesture but I'd be disappointed not getting candy like everyone else.

[Duckie Louise 🌦️🦝🌸🍓🎨☕️ @DuckieLouise]

People on social media are suggesting giving out canned goods and ramen for Halloween and I’m starting to think perhaps if I were the Queen I would require everyone to have to experience one year of being broke.

“Here you go, kids! You thought this was a fun candy holiday? Well guess what! I, The Good Citizen, am here to make sure to remind you that until your parents figure out how to stop struggling, that you don’t get to experience delight or joy!”

Like… just help stock a food pantry or something. Think about how you would want to spend the holiday if it were you. Think about how you would want your own kids’ day to go.

@emilykmay I did this yesterday, but it ended with a cat in a laundry basket

When people say “why do you waste your time reading tales of witches and ghosts and dragons when you could be reading important things?” the answer is because I think it’s important to read about witches and ghosts and dragons.

My kid's school has a book vending machine! First time I ever saw one and my mind was blown. Also, I was very jealous lol

[Casey Tingle @murphcas]

@LukeBarnett I was thinking about this yesterday regarding my novel. I realized I was throwing names in awkward places that no one would actually say.

@guilhernunes_ Never!

It's not a career. It's not a calling. It's a terminal hobby. You will die doing this. Become a writer.

[Casey Tingle @murphcas]

@schaalfan Love that book! I think about it often and can't wait for my son to read it.

[Casey Tingle @murphcas]

@PaperFury That sounds AMAZING!!! congrats!!!

@orckwx I'm the same way with my bikini line. I shave my legs and armpits, but choose not to shave my bikini cause it just itches and gets all bumpy. The most I do is trim up, and if I go to the beach/pool, I wear boy short swimming bottoms to cover the hair.
