It never ceases to amaze me that I can cut in 10 seconds a portion of a manuscript that I spent hours researching and crafting. 😅

Can anyone recommend a solid nature writing course? I'd love to improve my descriptions of the natural world.

I just finished it, so now I'm of course reading articles about Saint-Alban and the folks who spent time there. Will be recommending this one for sure!

@alvinaling.bsky.social You are probably already aware of this, but just in case!

The woman bagging my groceries told me that she doesn't drink seltzer water because "it tastes like TV static," and now I'm pretty sure she should be writing this book instead of me.

Yes! The big difference I've found is that you can get any book published by PRH (even if it came out a few years ago), and there doesn't seem to be a limit? 🤯

I just really need to make sure that all library workers know that if you sign up for the @penguinrandomhouse.bsky.social audio app with your library email, you can download audiobooks for free--including ALCs! My latest listen was The Correspondent by Virginia Evans. It seriously feels like magic.

NEW: ALA strongly denounces new federal book banning legislation introduced in Congress, HR 7661. As ALA President Sam Helmick said, "Parents, not politicians, should guide their children's reading." Call your Rep and tell them to oppose this new bill. More from ALA: www.ala.org/news/2026/02...

The American Library Association strongly denounces new federal book banning legislation proposed in Congress. Call your Reps. Tell them to oppose H.R. 7661. Capitol switchboard: 202-224-3121

American Library Association, Show Up For Our Libraries

"Parents, not politicians, should guide their children’s reading. In our school, campus, and public libraries, materials are selected by trained literacy professionals who understand child development and community needs. Their work is grounded in one clear purpose: helping young people become lifelong readers.

H.R. 7661 isn’t fundamentally about protecting kids. It’s about giving politicians broad authority to restrict whose stories are allowed on the shelves. That should concern anyone who believes in the freedom to read and the right of families to make decisions for themselves.” - ALA President Sam Helmick

"Rather than targeting librarians and teachers, Congress should invest in them. The Right to Read Act offers a better path, supporting well-staffed and well-resourced school libraries, strengthening evidence-based literacy instruction, and protecting the dedicated professionals who help young people discover books that open doors and expand horizons.

When we trust families, support educators, and protect the freedom to read, our young people thrive.” - ALA President Sam Helmick.

Not me writing "it dawns on me that I don’t actually know what the plan is now that we’re here" because I, the writer, do not know what the plan is now that we're here.

I'm in the "omg I need to write this story before someone else does" phase of the writing process, which tbh is always an exciting and anxiety-ridden time 😅

Yay! I've always found that sending something out in the universe is one of the best (and maybe one of the healthiest? 😅) ways to deal with disappointing news. Sending all the good vibes your way!

Oh, no, Love is Blind Mexico. 😅 I thought that one might be easier to understand based on context. But I'm not sure that's actually the case since there's a lot of slang...

Oh man, I'm SO out of the loop when it comes to Korean dramas. I'm also looking for shows good for practicing my Spanish (I'm taking classes and would say I'm on the high end of the beginner levels) if you have any recommendations for that! I've heard La Casa de las Flores is good?

If a middle school was gifted $10,000 to $20,000 with no strings attached, what are some things the school might spend it on? (I know the needs are endless, just looking for some inspiration for a plot! 😊) #TLSky #EduSky
