A new novel from @rebeccamakkai alternates between the #MeToo present and a ’90s mystery. Read our review ahead of her appearance at @VanderbiltU on Thursday. nashvillescene.com/arts_culture/b…

Every short story is like “The day after our first son’s birthday, my wife told me she was in love with the 59th Street Bridge.”

It was such a joy and honor to share some of my writing with a full house last night at @BookCellar, along with five other ridiculously talented @StoryStudio writers!

@rebeccamakkai My novel-in-progress is third-person present, and I have a friend whom that really bothers. She can’t articulate why.
@rebeccamakkai When I was in 5th grade we had a creative writing unit and had to write a story. I wrote a present tense first person story about a girl walking through a creepy house. My teacher marked it all up and told me a story couldn’t be present tense. 🙄 Even at 10, I knew she was wrong!
@rebeccamakkai I learned about Jack and Jill through The Golden Girls! Blanche: Are you implying I lost my virginity at an early age? Sophia: I'm just saying you're lucky Jack and Jill magazine didn't have a gossip column.
@rebeccamakkai Also, I'll have to tell you some time about the (in retrospect) horrifying collection of religious stories at my childhood dentist office.
@rebeccamakkai LOL. I've heard hist fic people say you CAN'T HAVE PRESENT TENSE IN ANY HISTORICAL FICTION BECAUSE THE EVENTS HAPPENED IN THE PAST. I defy them on the regular.
@rebeccamakkai But clearly not a lowbrow cult.
I don’t have kids or a dog. What can I bring into a bar that will make everyone mad?
Choose your writer! StoryBall this year will feature a Battle of the Genres competition hosted by @rebeccamakkai. Writers will duke for their genre -- novel, poetry, noir, and short story -- to be crowned the champion! Get your StoryBall tickets now! storystudiochicago.org/storyball/
Oh for the love of... write whatever you want, OF COURSE! But use your tenses purposefully. Realize the limitations and act accordingly. We can tell when you haven't thought about this. Sorry, but this is true.
@ask_aubry When a woman gets eerily calm when angry, it's done for whoever is on the other side of it. Good for her.
@ask_aubry I mean that "You won, now you get him back" text to his mom was basically perfection. The period at the end of a goddamn sentence.
A new novel from @rebeccamakkai alternates between the #MeToo present and a ’90s mystery. Read our review ahead of her appearance at @VanderbiltU on Thursday. nashvillescene.com/arts_culture/b…
@dinosaur_info @rebeccamakkai Lord have mercy.
@dinosaur_info @rebeccamakkai For *some* kids it’s true that “reading anything is better than reading nothing” but I agree that what we feed growing minds matters. I spent a huge amount of time as a young mom finding high Q YA and middle grade lit. Captain underpants wasn’t it — for me or my kids.
@dinosaur_info @rebeccamakkai It’s the same for adult books, other than the one little shelf of literary fiction. 🤷♀️ I for one do not shame anyone for what they read.
@dinosaur_info @rebeccamakkai This is also true of adult books and it doesn’t mean all adult literature is bad so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
@dinosaur_info @rebeccamakkai Big bookstores sell what is *popular* not necessarily what is good literature. Personally, I would encourage OP to ask a librarian.
@dinosaur_info @rebeccamakkai (rolls my eyes in librarian)
My pharmacy seems to call and text me every other minute. We got your medicine! Ready for some more medicine? Time to drug up, big boy. Nu? Medicine!
