- For the record, 30 isn't old. Nor is 40, for that matter. I am SO SICK of the ageist bullshit going on in publishing, particularly in YA. A lot of people are fortunate enough to sell books and perhaps be wildly successful before they turn 30. That is the exception, not the rule.

- A year ago yesterday, I learned my baby had stopped growing and I was going to miscarry. What followed was a traumatic 2 months before the miscarriage finally ended in surgery. . Today, I got to see a new baby's arms… instagram.com/p/B5v-8jJBmni/…
- Suzanne, I just went through the same thing just a few months ago. I'm so sorry. You're 100% not alone in experiencing this.
- To anyone else doing absolutely nothing on New Years Eve because they have no friends, cheers. 🥂
- Okay. Before Twitter goes, an important thread. Hottest cartoon love interest. Go.
GIF - Replying to @stdennardAlso, 50 isn't old. 60 isn't old. THERE IS NO EXPIRATION DATE WITH WRITING. Literally, you can do this job until the day you die. So why are people fixating on getting it done before 30? Who started this myth that you have to?
- That sinking feeling when you go into a B&N and realize your book is no longer selling well enough to be kept on shelves. Or that sinking feeling when you realize it was never stocked at all. If you don't know what that feels like, I envy you. It's pretty gutting.
- Not every story should have a happy ending. In fact, the higher the stakes, the more loss there should be along the way. Characters must sacrifice. Sometimes they must die. The consequences of the fight must match the stakes. /1
- Favorite kiss trope? I'm a sucker for the, "Omgosh, we were forced to kiss for disguise/distraction/etc. But now we like it and don't want to stop."
- Replying to @stdennardTurns out she thought the cat was dead. He'd disappeared for a month, and she and her kids had even had a funeral for the guy. SHE WAS SO HAPPY HE IS ALIVE. She is going to come get him and surprise her kids on Christmas day. So there you go. Don't make assumptions, I guess.
- Watching the 1995 P&P mini series, and the Frenchman is so invested. Darcy just gave his first proposal, Lizzy rejected it, episode ends, and he looks at me in horror. 😱 "What now?" he asks. "How can they come back from this?" You'll have to see, babe. You'll have to see.
