I have resisted sharing graphics, because WTF good do they even do, but this one... yeah. Thinking of everyone in Kyiv and across Ukraine tonight.

My daughter had a dream where a fish on a bicycle, whom she had previously helped, now wearing a fish bowl on their head, helped her escape from a fae portal where she was running from a grumpy tree that tried to eat her.

I handed her a copy of @neilhimself's "Instructions."

I believe that older writers, like me, have a duty to pass on the secrets and the tricks of the trade that have served us. So, here is the magic you can use to generate character names that are unique.

As someone who’s spoken about the struggle of immigrants, I wanted to say something about the plight of the Afghan refugees. To maybe help ppl process. I saw the pictures of so many uprooted, desperate ppl, packed in a plane. Then the immediate unkind responses. It did my head in

Do I need to say more?

I recently became aware of the "two Romancelandias" idea and I don't know enough about this. Any help on where to start reading on this concept?

[Sela Carsen @selacarsen]

@deannaraybourn 51 and I didn't learn of it until a couple of years ago. My DH is 59 and he'd never heard of it until this weekend.

[Sela Carsen @selacarsen]

@WineWouldHelp @deannaraybourn I also read this book. Have also never read her again. Hard out.

[Sela Carsen @selacarsen]

@VanessaRiley One of the best books I've ever read is American Gods by Neil Gaiman. I loved the evolution of the characters, their humanity, even as lost and wandering gods. It's an everyman story about humans touching the divine in ways that are profound and cruel and infinitely meaningful.

[Sela Carsen @selacarsen]

@vanessajaye You did! We were so excited to be "real authors!"

[Sela Carsen @selacarsen]

My god I'm old. This was my first book from Samhain Publishing, back in 2007. I had flyers. Why would anyone need a flyer?!? I just found it in the basement.

Welp. I've already had one #ADHD meltdown this morning. Which reminds me (although I wrote it down) I missed my last appt and now must 1) pay for the missed appt, and 2) reschedule.
Also, I just found @ADHD_Alien on Pinterest and the sweetness helped pull me out of the spin.
