@thelaceylondon Catocalypse it's called. Cute, but deadly.

... of this country for taking back what's our from the hands of hatred and bigotry. And I'm so proud of those countries that stand with us as global citizens, shouting in unison "you matter!" You matter, you are important, strong, and amazing! #BlackLivesMatter #FightRacism

The individual that sits in the White House is a symptom of a greater systemic issue and divide in the United States. But this week, we see the true popular vote, a revolution, not just in this country but across the globe. I am so proud of you...

... for taking a stand. I am so proud of your neighbor for taking a stand with you. I am so proud of your city for raising their voices to cry enough is enough! I'm so proud of the states rallying together to stamp out prejudice and injustice. I'm so proud...

@author_elle How would one be a fantasy writer and not believe in some sort of magic? I feel a good book has a bit of the author's soul, beliefs, weaved into the words, precisely the thing making a good book. Fantasy is full of mystical magic...

@CornerWriting You can write with children around? As soon as I crack open the computer, my 2 ¹/2 year old comes out of the woodwork to sit on my lap and do some of her own typing.

@Hydedriver Rats! And here I was, going through life the whole time, thinking I was not a psychopath. Sad day.

[Nicole Rand @writing4fun_ds]

@Lil_hamilton_ @Reflex_6 Yeah me too. I think the Twitter writing community is pretty awesome in supporting each other, so if their bio talks about writing, author, etc. I will follow back

@MagicalOverload Successfully own my own business, get my pilots license, be published by a major house

@realeverywriter Reading a lot of times helps me refine my own works when I get too lost in world creating. It also helps you get a feel for tone.

@Hyundai so disappointed. Apparently losing half your family income due to Corona virus does not qualify you for their "hyundai assurance" that's advertised. As a loyal Hyundai owner, bought 2 vehicles at the same time, which puts me on my 4th Hyundai vehicle.

[Nicole Rand @writing4fun_ds]

@Hyundai not sure how to take advantage of the Hyundai assurance if no one answers at customer service.

... but Washington is where my heart lives.

[Nicole Rand @writing4fun_ds]

We had picked several exotic locations, but they said "sorry, all we have is Washington available right now". Washington?? Blah. Our quiet neighbor to the north that everyone forgets about. What's there to do in a state where it rains all the time? But we needed to take the...

... weeks leading up to our departure.
It's been almost 4 years since we left and if offered, I would move back in a heartbeat. To the place where your hair never dries and the passage of time is noted by the growth of moss. I was born and raised in southern California...

[Nicole Rand @writing4fun_ds]

... visually stunning nooks and crannies that the state had to offer. It was during these times that I fell in love. It seemed that even the roughest of areas were still steeped in the wonderment of mother nature.
The day we decided it was time to leave, I cried. I cried for...

... for the next three months. On the first cloudless day, I hastily grabbed a towel and planted myself on the lawn like the displaced southern California lizard that I am, desperately soaking up the sun's warm rays.
Over the next 2 1/2 years, we explored the various...

... first available location, so we went. When we arrived, the trees were downright overwhelming. So big, it was as if they blotted out the sky in places. It was they who owned the land, and the people were just long-term guests. We arrived March and I didn't see the sun...
