In the current climate, we are all making decisions about what we share on twitter, wanting our voice to be heard while being cautious, but I think I have to say: I'm really worried not enough people are watching The Glood Place. I just don't know what I'd do if it gets canceled.

Discovering that I love editing! It's a chance to polish your prized possession. I get butterflies from finding the perfect word or adding the perfect sentence! 💙📖💙 #amediting

I just wrote "morale-boosting butterflies" into my YA fantasy and now it's my favorite image so far. I mean, butterflies are inherently morale boosting, right? #amwriting

Having a character say, "I don't know why, but it makes sense to me" because you can't think of a reason why it makes sense to you. #amwriting

Some people call it a strawberry mimosa. I call it inspiration. #amwriting

As a writer who's new to the amazing support on Twitter, I'm constantly torn between tweets telling me the rules I have to follow, and the tweets that tell me not to follow the rules. #amwriting

I'm discovering everyone considers themselves a reader until you send them part of your book to read, then suddenly nobody has time for reading.

Opinions: Would an 11-year-old kid use the phrase, "Speaking of which,..." #amwriting #not11

"Maybe your friends are like the stars. Just because you can't see the stars right now, doesn't mean they're not there. The daylit sky is full of them, you're just distracted by the sun. But when it gets dark and you most need them, they'll come out and fill the sky." #1LineWed

I thought the Grease 2 soundtrack was going to be my writing music today, but I just sang along to the entire thing and didn't write a word. #amwriting
