Grateful for another morning to feel the sun shine on my face. ☀️ Happy Sunday!

Okay but hear me out:

A nighttime bookstore in which the only lighting comes from lanterns, tea is served to all who enter, there is an emotional support owl in each section, and a buy one / get one free sale occurs during every full moon.

Slow Saturday morning, a cup of coffee and writing some new poetry. It really is the little things in life.

Middle grade/YA writers, don’t stop. There are kids at the book fair waiting for you

If you're a writer, translator, editor, anyone who works in writing, then you should read.

Read novels, short stories, articles, non-fiction, anything. Just read.

after 25 years I finally figured out the formula for writing a good poem: you just say what you want to say, cut all the boring stuff, thwack it with a thesaurus, then you grow wings out of your back, oh no they’re bat wings, oh god will your loved ones still love you, time to fly to the moon

Getting an idea for a random paragraph that belongs in the middle of my book when the beginning isn’t even finished yet while waiting in line at the grocery store pretty much sums up my creative process. #writing

Please read books. I’m begging you.

Libraries feel like something about which we could very easily be saying, “Remember that place where you could borrow books, for FREE, and return them when you were finished?” And kids would say “What?? No way!” And yet there they still are, despite everything we’ve become, existing. Remarkable.

Buy all banned books as presents

The closest known black hole to Earth is just 1,560 light-years away.

Happy Friday! If you have cats, please tell them I said pspsps and kiss them gently on the forehead for me. #cats

#WritingTip:
You can always fix bad pages. You can’t fix no pages.

Write. Just write.

sometimes it’s you and your iced coffee against the world

The trick to garlic bread is to make at least 5 times too much of it then eat it all hunched over in the corner of the basement like a rat

My morning coffee is so much better on Saturdays. #coffee

Motherhood looks like a lot of different things at different times…. Currently for me, it looks like making a car out of vegetables on a Friday morning when the race is tonight…. With a special request to incorporate a person made of carrots to drive the car 🙃 #motherhood

My brain is either, you will stay up all night writing! Or it won’t allow me to have an idea for weeks. There is no in between 🙃 #writing

Putting a fall scent in my wax warmer boosts my mood so much during the day. #fall

That thing where you're writing a chapter and you suddenly realize it needs a whole other chapter in front of it first

A photo of the upper left quadrant of the moon. It shows the surface brightly lit, with scores of craters visible in close detail, each one subtly acted by shadows from the slanting sunlight.

Truly stunning images of the moon ...

... created by a self-taught Kurdish astrophotographer

He zoomed in close on tens of thousands of craters, and stitched them into massive images with clarity impossible in a single photo
