10 years ago I was still stuck in the query trenches (lost & confused). Here’s a few things I’ve learned about writing/publishing in the past decade 🧵 1. Resilience. Rejection is part of the job. It gets easier. It’s not that your work isn’t good it’s that it isn’t a good fit.

A jillion of us out here would pay a cool $1000 to sulk and overeat with you.

I am 62 years old, single, and recently, after watching ā€œLove Actuallyā€ for the 17th time — toxic though it may be — I downloaded a dating app and started the arduous process of vetting men so that I, too, might actually find love. Again. (a thread)

Over a happy hour with friends at a large, noisy indoor craft pub brewery, I say, ā€œThis summer, I'm teaching a beginner’s watercolor course. Its called loose flowers.ā€ One heard, loose squirrels, the other heard, loose morals. And now I'm rethinking so much.

One of the Big 5 I didn't see while on African safari was a leopard. A disappointment for sure and sadly not a surprise. African leopards are listed as ā€œendangeredā€ under the Endangered Species Act. Habitat loss is one of the greatest threats to these gorgeous cats. 1/
