Any political satire novels you’d recommend? I’m starting to binge read Carl Hiaasen. I’d recommend his novel “Squeeze Me.” LMAO funny. 😆🐍

These are good people within the writing / reading / bookish community. Hoping lots of people will see this. Pls help if you can. No gift is too small.

I added a dog character to my novel-in-progress. And the dog now has the longest bio of all the characters in my separate “character notes” doc haha. 🐾

That’s a very legitimate take on the non-fic book list.

Drafting a new novel all summer is my writing plan. 😊 So yeah I can only do so much on sm interactions while also working.

“Every line of serious work that I have written since 1936 has been written, directly or indirectly, against totalitarianism…”

If you’ve never read this 1946 article by George Orwell, and you get complaints you as a writer shouldn’t be “political”…

On a solo writing retreat and this Airbnb I’m at has a ramen/Doritos/mini Takis vending machine on the back porch.

Whenever a video starts with, “This is genius!”, I turn it off. I’ve reached my limit for being underwhelmed for the rest of my life.

I’ve done nothing today except pleasure read and fry apples in butter and brown sugar. Taking a real (AKA full) day off. 🙂

He and his writing are hard to forget about!

So good, right? 😊

I like it. :) Thanks for the input.

This is definitely on my to read list.

Yeah me too.

While doing my early morning walks the past two weeks, I listened to the tell-all audiobook of “Kitchen Confidential” by Anthony Bourdain. It was SO good narrated by him. Nvr read or heard it before. I miss his show and perspectives on people all over the 🌎.

Reading makes me braver as a writer—seeing to what extremes other writers have pushed envelopes, bucked systems, taken up space as they should have, and wrote knowing there would be consequences from so many that will always pick what is self-preserving over what’s true. #writingcommunity #amwriting

My TBR. And I’ll listen to “Gone Girl” while walking bc I’m curious to see how thrillers hv changed. 13 yrs since it pubbed and 20 yrs(!) since “The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo”, which for me was the first thriller in the “girl in the title” trend. Lisbeth Salander, is a MC I’ll nvr forget. #booksky

This is so interesting! Thanks for sharing.

This balance is so hard!

Never have I so extensively “told” a story to myself like I am with this current first draft. There’s going to be some serious editing needed in the “showing” department later. 🫠 🙈

Someone emailed me from an AOL account. I wondered if they were typing away from the underground bunker in “Lost.”

Maybe nothing for lots of people.

Not depressing at all. It’s nice to share a quiet evening together.

*sigh* yeah for a whole 7 seconds of my nice night. Someone’s always gotta be the nit picky smart ass lol. 😂 Just finished reading the last 70 or so pages of a really good novel.

My husband and I are both sitting around reading. Books. Not phones. A perfect night. Tomorrow has enough worries of its own, and we’ll face them…tomorrow.

Thank you! 💗

Took my Ukrainian Easter eggs out early. My mom got these every year she went to teach in #Ukraine. She has some at her house too.
