GUYS! In exciting news, my friend & I started a podcast! (I'm on the left!) In our first two episodes, we discuss how we've gotten through the pandemic, winter lockdown tips & the difficulties of being single during covid #podcast Love, Life, and Liquor open.spotify.com/show/1vWMYg…

We're also on Apple if Spotify isn't your thing. If you tune in, I'd love to hear your feedback! #podcasting
With tonight's debating coming up, i thought back to my post on the vp debate, and the difficulties that women face when things appear "equal" #Debates2020 #VPDebate
Do you ever want to rewatch a beloved movie, but worry it won't have the same effect the 2nd time around, thereby tainting your view of the movie? I've been feeling this way about call me by your name forever! (Ditto for whether I should read the sequel) Opinions welcome!

Wow, I can't believe it's been 2 years!! I was in a very different place when I started this account & intended to use it for a very different purpose. I'm excited to continue on my evolving writing journey ☺ Do you remember when you joined Twitter? I do! #MyTwitterAnniversary
Such a great video, and a much needed reminder to just suck it up when it comes to receiving criticism 😂
Here goes😬 1st, this vid is out of order in the 3 I’m working on. I stopped caring when all my stupid delays killed my soul the rest of the way off. 2nd, if you’re sensitive to people telling you you’re too sensitive to criticism, don’t watch! 😜 youtu.be/EuqASnu5LeE
Ending, for sure! I'll never recommend a book that has a bad/weak ending. Conversely, I'll likely recommend a book with a weak beginning and make the caveat that it gets better as you go along
As a reader, do you think it's more important a book have a strong beginning or a strong ending? *You can't say both*

Cliche scene I hate: female character has a busy job & when they get an important call or email they actually NEED to answer, their SO/friend playfully takes their phone and tells them they need to have some fun 🙄🙄 Dude. That is their CAREER you're messing with! #writerscafe

Man what a CRAZY ASS coincidence that the Kentucky AG is shortlisted to replace RBG, amirite??? 🤷🏻‍♀️ I hope he and Trump are enjoying jerking each other off right now #JusticeForBreonnaTaylor
What's a cringeworthy cliche scene that always makes you roll your eyes? For me, it's when a girl is working on her laptop and her SO walks up behind her, sets down coffee for her, and kisses her head. Maybe even peers at her screen as she writes UGH it is so cheesy & horrible!

Its unfortunate that Mitt Romney is such a useless person
If Michelle Pfeiffer doesn't do it for you, you can get tf outta here

Writers with other full time jobs: how much time/day do you spend writing? I have this idea that I can spend hours & hours writing, but the reality is, even doing 2 hours is very draining. I also don't work well in small chunks of time. What strategy works for you? #writerscafe

When you're torn between multiple writing projects, how do you decide which to work on in a particular day? 🤔 #writerscafe

The magical fairytale forest of my dreams 🥰 I had to finally drag myself away Just think of the hours of reading and writing one could get done here! What does your ideal writing spot look like? #writerscafe #WritingCommunity
