For 2023 I resolve to be a word-hugger! Who’s with me? Thanks @kellyyanghk

[Kelly Yang @kellyyanghk]

I am currently writing my tenth novel. It is as hard as my first. It doesn’t get easier. But I show up. I put in the work. Every morning, I get to my computer and I hug the words. I can hate them later but for now, I hug and I carry on, bc that’s how books are written. With love.

[Sharon Reiss Baker @sreissbaker]

Writers, do you ever wonder if you are writing into a void? If what you’re doing will ever matter to anyone? Read this uplifting thread by @readiatrician for a reminder that your stories make a difference!

[The Readiatrician- not here anymore @readiatrician]

I said goodbye to a patient a few years ago. She didn’t die, she just got old. I treat patients to age 21 and they move on. When they do, I joke, “well, I did my job! I kept you alive until adulthood!”

With this kid, it was not a joke. 1/

Can’t wait for this new book from @tzippymfa

[Tziporah Cohen @tzippymfa]

Hi, #MGBookChat! I'm Stacy Nockowitz, middle school librarian with one week left of summer vacay!
My debut #MGlit THE PRINCE OF STEEL PIER, comes out in THREE WEEKS!!!

[Sharon Reiss Baker @sreissbaker]

The power of a great title. #TishaBAv

[Tamar Marvin @tamar_marvin]

Eicha - "How?" - will always be the most perfectly plaintive title for a book about unfathomable destruction and the real, ugly darkness of exile and mourning. It does not try to deny, explain, or soothe away. It just asks, But how could this happen? How?
