When I was a kid, my mom made me weed the garden. Once I left home, I vowed never to garden for the rest of my days.
Fast forward to this year and I find myself pulling weeds and planting things - and enjoying it!

@tootiehead I can relate

After resubmitting your “revise &resubmit” - would you nudge after awhile? And how long would you wait before nudging?
Agh! It’s so hard to be patient…

@RichardERock1 Odd, I would have thought dancing on a grave is a celebration of the person. I’ve told my kids that when I die, they better show up from time to time to have an ice cream party. Bring big sundaes, great music, and laugh and dance.

@tootiehead I forget where I heard this, but someone said that upon completing the first draft, they burned it. And rewrote from the ground up. The idea being, only the best parts of the original are worth remembering, so as you draft the new version, your best ideas will shine through.

Memory foam plus a 14 pound cat is not a great combination (unless, of course, you’re the cat)

Just watched the trailer for the new Downtown Abbey movie, and once again I can keep calm and carry on

When Julie Amherst and her friends stumble upon an injured girl in the woods, the discovery that she isn’t human turns their weekend upside down. Who is she, and what connection does she have to Julie? A tale of sorrow, growing up, and the mystery of the afterlife. #pitmad

CARAVAL x DA VINCI CODE

A queen dies every year. Thea wants to live.

In a land run by alliances, chess, and trickery, Thea will need to be cunning enough to survive. She must outwit the six fae kings, one by one, until she outlasts the queens before her. #pitmad #F #YA

@brittweisrock She’s so sweet!
I have a Piper, too

@elchandler A Blackhawk helicopter is what she uses when we first meet her, then she switches to a Cessna 172.

Is #pitmad better/more promising for adult or kidlit #writers?

@elchandler My MC is the boss!

@Bellemoon99 There’s lots of food, meal prep, and meal sharing

@ella_vanholland After connecting with half-sibs (with whom I have little in common) I realize that “family” is about heart and soul, rather than flesh and blood.
I wish you all the best with your journey. It’s deeply personal, each of us creating our own story!

[Phoenix Tyche @PhoenixTyche]

@ella_vanholland I contacted my birth mom because I felt she’d want to know I had a good life. I got a reply from her sister saying she never wanted me to find her. My birth dad died before I learned who he was. He never knew about me. I’m not sure he’d have cared. Be prepared for anything.

Husband’s college buddy coming for a visit has morphed into a mini reunion at our house.
Guess who’s cooking a delectable lavish dinner...to share with a friend...at her house?
