For my next book I'm following the Italian itinerary of #IdaPfeiffer, 19th-century Austrian woman traveller extraordinaire. The research is hard, y'all. #Bolsena #Italy #amwriting

Thought-provoking, philosophically deep, and yet so so readable. Thanks, @vivekshraya, for PEOPLE CHANGE. #peoplechangebook @PenguinRandomCA @UCalgary @UCalgaryArts

1.5 chapters into @harrisonwriter’s Puglian travel memoir Head Over Heel, and I’m hooked. Incredible writing. Makes me wish I got down to #Andrano when I lived in #Alberobello. @HachetteAus

Qualcuno sa quale tipo di pietra fu usato nella costruzione dei edifici del centro storico di Perugia, principalmente? Calcare? Di Monte Subasio (ma meno rosa)? #perugia #architettura #umbria @Comuneperugia @UNISTRAPG
Have you ever run a micropress in Canada, or know someone who has? My friend @lumpyonionploy is writing a book on this scene from the '80s to the 10's and would love to hear from you! Email [email protected]. #canlit #micropress #chapbooks

After only one chapter of @MariaColettaMc1’s Summers in Supino, I’m already tearing up. Can’t wait to see what else this Italian memoir has in store! @ecwpress #dads #italia #memoir #travelwriting #amreading

First draft of IDA AND I is officially done! Now to edit this travel memoir about #Italia, #IdaPfeiffer, and women travellers. I'm gonna need some #burrata and #friselle for strength. #amwriting

Thanks, @rleong101! @JarettSitter and I were inspired by the story of the racing pigeons freed a couple blocks over.

Thanks so much, @cailynnk! (And great name, by the way.) It was a pleasure to gather and write up some of these tales.

Shout out to @GoOrangeNZ for playing that (instant) vintage tune by @RaphaelSaadiq this morning on #MilfordSound. The perfect fiord soundtrack. #for22dollarsshelltakeawaythepain

So, I really need to finish my current novel so I can finish the novel I drafted in my 20s so I can work on my memoir so I can draft the three other novels I have lined up to write next! Anyone else overwhelmed by planned work and the glacial slowness of writing?

Vedi Napoli e poi muori. Man I wish I were walking around the #quartierespagnolo today. The mare, the pizza margherita, the hospitality, the glimpses of Vesuvio... the entire city is intoxicating. #naples Photo credit: Gill Co
