I haven't had time for any real writing lately, but a little snippet of encouragement for my fellow ladies on International Women's Day seemed time well spent at work today. #justcaroljean #quoteme

Tucking away my would be writing hopes into a box for awhile as I resign myself to relive the life I was never meant to in the first place. Who knows, maybe a good retrace is what is needed to wear down the edges of the mold so walking out of the rut will be easier next time? 💔

@robgotobed Damnit Rob... I didn't want to laugh, but I had to laugh, but I didn't want to laugh, but I had to laugh... That's talent, sir, right there! 😂😭

@AuthorEHNight Me, every time I eat a chocolate chip cookie. I don't like chocolate chip-never have. I prefer a soft/chewy oatmeal raisin. But the world doesn't offer oatmeal raisin as readily as Choc Chip. People bake what they want, and I'm always left disappointed & faking a flavor response

I need to tattoo this on my soul as a constant reminder to my nagging psyche - tune out that Negative Nancy noise once and for all...I know, but one can dream, can they not?...One day I'll remember I'm more than I allow myself to be, one day indeed #confidence #courage #gowrite

@GabiXTN I've thought about this too, a lot, but every pen name I picked seemed lacking & knowing I could never be anything other than me, I went with my own name. Although, I dropped my last name(Brady) bc I want people to read My stories & not those of a TV mom. https://t.co/k6F4k9Cub3

@byMorganWright Got busted yesterday - was supposed to work on school writing. Husband asked if I got it all done, and I said "not exactly..." when he asked what all the clacking was about then, I said "oh, just an idea I was having" 😊

Happy day! Happy day - I hit my first 100 followers! Thank you all so much! I was never a fan of Twitter in the past, but finding the #WritingCommunity (et al) has been a great blessing - your insight & inspiration is unmatched! Looking forward to meeting even more individuals!

"But there is something very special about a book — the feel of it in your hands and the way it looks on the table by your bed, or nestled in with others in the bookcase." -- Jane Goodall 💗

I have admired this woman from the time I was 6 years old!!

@tammy_oja I hope that readers dog ear, highlight, scribble, make notes, draw hearts - do whatever they need or want to... Use it, love it, learn from it. Wear that binding out! That's my dream as a writer.

@ScribblingDrake @rococopuffs_ @jk_rowling @camphalfblood @erniecline @Grinradical @jaime_dill @icantrellkp @RMH_Winter @ARMunro_writes They are the best of the Dragonlance writers, and likely all fantasy. ❤️ Been a long time since I've read them (12 years or so), but they still stand out in my memory so vividly.
