@FatalAttraction Just binged series. Brava! As caregiver of a mom & sister both diagnosed with major mental illness, this deep dive into the psyche of characters & more is brilliantly done. (Unlike the mocking tweet written about Alex...not fitting, deserves an edit.) #mentalillness @silvertree77

@kidlit_jennaj I was in a funk and decided to write a PB for grown-ups. "Seriously! Are We THERE Yet?!" might be another good read AND it even has a companion journal/coloring book. Let me know what you think: amazon.com/dp/1735436402

@ceceharbor Schedule an appointment with yourself & keep your promise. Even 10 minutes/day will get that spark back. Key is consistency & giving yourself permission to write without judgement. I have a free webinar "Stop Struggling Start Writing" -- that might help youtu.be/azgQcfjojX8

I've been celebrating my late mom's birthday, not really realizing that it's #SchizophreniaAwarenessDay - mom was diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia & so was my sister. Schizophrenia is part of my family tree. My latest book (May 2021) shares the story. madnesstomagic.com/books

@jadeashleigh_38 Hey Jade - interesting thread. Schizophrenia runs in my family. My mom and my sister, both diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia, were very different. I'd be curious your thoughts on my latest book about it - madnesstomagic.com/books

@TWMHR @rethink_ My mom was diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia when I was young. My sister in her 20s, too, was diagnosed with it. My latest book shares the story - happy to do an event in the future with @rethink - madnesstomagic.com/books
