I had a migraine but sat down to write anyway, and wrote a really emotional story based on a dream I had. This process involved some crying. Am I correct to assume that writing and crying is a cure for migraines, because I feel better? #amwriting #amcrying #writerlife

Has anyone else tried to join #Threads and noticed a whole lot of clickbait that seems to be written by AI? #ugh Is it worth it?

I've got a WWII historical fiction short story I'd like to submit to a #litmag about the #DanishResistance, based on a story my Farfar shared with me about his cousin. Does anyone have any ideas where to send it? #amwriting

With writing, if you aren't a little scared, you are doing it wrong. Yesterday, I shared a poem that scares me in a workshop. I try to remember vulnerability is strength. And it's not so scary anymore. #amwriting #writingworkshop #writingpoetry

Today's advice for my writer peeps that I'm trying to follow: Do what scares you.

Ok, so if one were dreaming of starting a #literarymagazine, what advice would you give? What would you like to read or submit to? Do's and don't's? Would love to chat with others who have.

I've always been scared to share my poetry but do it anyway at readings and workshops. I have a chapbook I've written over 12 years. (Time is a theme.) What do I do with it, and what do I do with the fear? Been playing with titles on vacay in Spain. #amwriting #writingadvice

Christmas trip has been humbling. Had a reaction to contaminated fish the other day, passed out and broke my nose. Grateful for ER workers and paramedics. so happy to be here with my family. It could have been worse.

We are so proud of the #youngauthors from our online emerging teen authors writing and publishing camp at My Word Publishing. It's an honor to be a coach and to see these writers bloom. The stories are amazing.

Sometimes, it feels like the world is trying to devalue human writing and human voices. AI has a lot of potential to do good in this world, but I do believe these things still matter. And yet, I've got Jimmy Buffet lyrics in my head: "yes, I am a pirate, 200 years too late...."

I've been told Love and Other Monsters in the Dark is a fun read, especially during the spooky season. You won't find any pumpkin spice in these stories... #spookymonth #Halloween2023 #writerslife

Do you ever have a weekend so bad that you look forward to Monday? I don't even want to talk about it. (Normally, I wouldn't post this, but X seems to bury my posts anyway.) #sendhugs

Wrote a truly terrible poem today and enjoyed every second. #amwriting #badpoetry #amwritingpoetry Sometimes, it can be nice just to write, without any expectation. It's freeing.
