- PSA: The WGA strike may mean that novelists & authors get approached for screenwriting. While this may seem like a perfect opportunity, please note that the WGA does strongly enforces its right to prevent non-members who have engaged in scabbing from ever becoming members.
- Replying to @brownandbellaI dated a 21 year old who did not realize that menstruation involved bleeding. He asked me how girls know when their period ends, and when I said "the bleeding stops." He screamed "YOU BLEED???" and recoiled in horror.
- I suspect most authors do inherently understand this, but I worry about those few who may not be familiar with the WGA or its rules (Screenwriting is a VERY different world than book writing) being at a disadvantage not knowing. Just extra caution for anyone who is curious.
- Replying to @carolinetc and @brownandbellaA question that, to this day, I wish I had asked.
- Replying to @pitbullmomof4 and @C4CiaranAnd yet it will certainly be part of mine when Trump's budget cuts NYPD fed funding, which will cripple its counterterrorism resources.
- my spouse just called an Armadillo a "Battle Rat" and I need to rest.
- If you're doing #NaNoWriMo please remember that the point is to get the words out. Revision is how you get them right.
- I updated a #MSWL one-sheet for January '23, plus I'll keep tweeting and evolving like the book gremlin I am! Also, credit to Inkyard Press for the idea of using scales to help capture vibes ::gestures to self::
- PSA: you never need to ask someone "still no baby?!?!"
- if Publishing wants to be a community that purports to support the mentally ill, let’s pause for a moment to think about how we’ll engage with the very scary, very sad, and very real tragedies of severe mental illness when they actually occur within our community.
- Who shouldn't be *your* agent: an agent who doesn't communicate with you or have time for you. Who shouldn't be *an* agent: an agent who makes approvals, rejections, and important decisions about your career without your input or against your wishes.
- Publishing.What’s harder than this?
