@K8_Cosgrove @geraldstratfor3 What a delightful little video to start the morning.

Heading to the Berkshires for the @AuthorsGuild Inaugural #WITFestival! I'm looking forward to a weekend filled with fantastic authors and speakers, and hopefully some apple cider.

Spent a wonderful evening with one of my favorite authors, @neilhimself. I can't think of a better way to start a week.

@Almost_Anna You should be able to control that in your settings. I think you can control how different people see your profile.

I'm free! I can finally reenter the world after catching COVID. I'll be spending my freedom getting an oil change. I know, wild times. (In case you're curious: I'm vaxxed/boosted and still caught it. Be careful out there).

@alioop7 @JimHoover17 Oh my gosh. You have no idea how much this means to me. I adored her. Sarah, Plain and Tall was one of my absolute favorites growing up. One of the books that made me want to be an author.

@LauraTwoPointO They're from the Good Mask Company. I love them!

@K8_Cosgrove Me too! Relatively cheap, easy, and it doesn't damage my hair.

[S.F. Henson @sfhwrites]

@K8_Cosgrove Thank you!! All Overtone.

I can mouth along with songs playing in stores and no one knows.

Dropped my Kobo e-reader off the balcony last night. Like 20 ft, face down on the rocks. Still works perfect. Gotta rec the Kobo! And it isn't beholden to Amazon! (⭐⭐⭐⭐)
