I made this wrap-around logo on Canva so I could print these beautiful, romantic book quotes on a mug (I think I put one movie quote in there). You can feel free to use it, if you feel so inclined <3 canva.link/spueqsmviax9... #mug #share #romantic #quotes #free #readingcommunity

I love this. Really, any decision-maker should do this. The members of the board of education should teach in the classrooms, etc. I think this is fantastic. Good for him.

Reminder for writers: You can jump off the publishing hamster wheel anytime you need to. Publishing is not where your worth lies. If you write, you’re a writer.

As environmental challenges mount, many people are beginning to rethink the true meaning of wealth. Perhaps the greatest treasures are not hidden underground at all. They are the living landscapes that sustain life itself and make our planet a place we can call home.

It's subtle but I noticed while watching old Star Trek TNG episodes that whenever Christopher Columbus is mentioned, Picard never says "discovered" and instead says "travelled to." And I love that.

Best thing I’ve seen on FB in a long while…

Reminder that we live in a world where humpback whales lift other animals out of the water to protect them from predators, where crows hold funerals, where trees in drought send water through their roots to other struggling trees, where dolphins have names for each other, where sea otters hold hands when they sleep to stay connected and where a group of people sitting silently together in a state of love can measurably reduce violence in the city around them.

The Earth is being destroyed not by a lack of resources, but by an excess of human greed. Every tree saved is a step in the right direction.

I learned something about myself which will make revising faster. I thought I'd prefer paper, so I've been revising on paper first, then on the computer. The extra step was making me resent the process. I'm much faster when I just use the computer. #amrevising #AuthorSky #WriteSky

Best quotes about the forest, day 11/20: "It is not so much for its beauty that the forest makes a claim upon men's hearts, as for that subtle something, that quality of air that emanates from old trees, that so wonderfully changes and renews a weary spirit" ~ Robert Louis Stevenson. #quote #forest

Somebody asked me today why I write. Huh. It's not that I love it all the time - I don't. I'm 30% through first revisions on my first novel, and it feels a bit like pulling teeth. So why? Well, a few years ago, after kids, when time got precious, I decided that life felt small without it. #WriteSky

I have a bad habit of working on my computer in a cushy chair with one hip higher than the other, and one knee up. It's not good for my back. I can't seem to "make myself" sit at the table... what do you recommend as far as getting a different seat for this spot? #chair #authorcommunity #WriteSky

Today, I don't feel like writing. So... I won't. Sometimes my writing voice comes back fastest when it’s not being chased around the house with a clipboard. INSTEAD! I will watch unnecessarily intense, dramatic, terrible vampire dramas--because I can 😂. Writing can recommence tomorrow. #amrevising

Unpopular opinion: not every character needs a name. Sometimes “the waitress” tells me all I need to know. When a book introduces too many named characters too quickly, I start getting lost trying to remember who’s who. Reading should be enjoyable, not feel like homework. #AuthorSky #BookSky

We could really use Carl Sagan right about now… #books #reading #history #libraries

A quote from the great Carl Sagan “One glace at a book and you hear the voice of another person, perhaps someone dead for a 1,000 years. To read is to voyage through time.”
