It's good to note, that if you feel STUCK, pause, get outside experienced advice... don't just be like... well, guess I'll just throw it to the query trenches. Not that I've ever done that... #querying #writersblock #writingcommunity #revpit

You want to throw the external conflict at your MC so their internal conflict is triggered. When life is very complicated all of a sudden, and then there are all of these obstacles to overcome, inner demons become louder and stronger. Need more help? Book a consultation! #writingcommunity

Sens. Susan Collins and Lisa Murkowski of Alaska were the only republicans to vote no on Todd Blanche’s confirmation. Every Democrat voted no. If you watched any bit of Blanche’s confirmation hearing, you’d know how insane this is.

What I learned from RevPit: plot needs to plot. #revpitclassof25 Tackling story structure head on has been one of the hardest inward evolutions for me as a writer, but also one of the most worthwhile. Forever thankful for @jenichappelle.bsky.social & #revpit for enduring support in this process📖

I have a secret: writing is revising. And I’ve coached so many writers who used to 😩hate😩 revising, but now they can’t wait to get to the revision stage to get what’s in their head on the page! If you need a coaching call to help you love revising, click the link in my bio. #writingcommunity

I know not everyone knows how to evaluate medical research or policy so let me help you out- If a paper comes out claiming to have been written by experts in the field, but not a single one puts their name to it, it’s absolute horse shit. Don’t waste your time.

Matilda is also the first of the cats to be very vocal, and she likes a strict routine. If my daughter (who is 23) isn’t in bed by 9:30, she calls her in what sounds like the word “Mama.” She waits by the door for her to get home at 3:30, and will chide you if you’re too slow with breakfast.

Matilda, another rescue, is a tortie, with all the tortie tendency to let you know when she’s done with pets. She’s so sweet (but hates the air Max breathes), and took a good year to warm up to being petted by anyone but my daughter because her previous owners ignorantly declawed her front claws.

Shadowcat is sweet and kind and perfect (according to me), and a trash panda/raccoon (according to my obviously disrespectful children). I’ve raised her since she was weaned from her mother 15 years ago, and she still plays, gets the zoomies, and jumps onto the top of the bookshelf

He was found abandoned in woods at about 6 months, and he does not know how to cat. He’s om a diet, but has only managed to make it down to 16 pounds! Nevertheless, his vet assures us he is healthy, despite being the most anxious cat, afraid of wind, bunnies, birds, all but other cats.

Oooo, I wanna play!! #RevPitWaiting #RevPets 🧵 I have 3 cats—these first two are Max, the orange rescue, who is nearly 15 yo and a cranky old man, and Shadowcat, the sweetest black 15-year old perpetual kitten. Max is super cuddly but also tries to dominate the girl cats, who are not impressed.
Max, a giant orange tabby, and Shadowcat, a small black cat, sleep on their human mama.
