For the record: You cannot have an abortion in the 9th month. You cannot have an abortion after birth. If we didn’t keep banning books, maybe we wouldn’t have to clear that up. #Debate2024

I'm still on academic listservs and COLLEGES 😤 the amt of time it takes to apply to adjunct work is not it. just clicked on one that asked for prob 8-10 hours to apply for teaching a class that pays 3-4K for 1 semester. i'd predict 200 applicants too. 🥲everything is broken

So excited about my latest acquisition. Can't wait to work with @jf_smit to bring this wonderful book to shelves!
If you're an aspiring writer finding repeated difficulty in your defined success (finishing a book, writing a query, landing an agent/deal, etc.) then in my years of teaching I found it's usually 1 of 2 things: you need help with the actual writing part OR the storytelling part
Acknowledge which area of yours needs improvement (often the hardest part) and make a plan to improve. Craft books, writing partners, self-challenges, etc. there are many options as long as you're willing to work on it. Information is EVERYWHERE online/in the library
i salute this girlfriend, whose "how hard could this be" energy i have harnessed with consistency my entire life

I forgot with my whole mind that 3.5 years ago I wrote 40k of a YA novel that featured geomagnetic storms until today, during a newsworthy one 💁♀️
WARNING this is a parenting question and not a book one. how many times did your kid get strep before an ENT yanked their tonsils 😢
here's what I've done to avoid starting my next book:
cleaned every clothing drawer
donated 8 bags of clothes
reorganized all closets
sanitized the fridge shelves
unpacked snacks to look like a Pinterest ad
made lasagna for the first time in my life
washed every wall in my home

I’ve never heard of this being used in the classroom as part of the curriculum, but it absolutely should be 🥺
ALT Cover of Scott O’Dell’s novel Island of the Blue Dolphins.
no one tell publishing but it looks like the eclipse got lead title
It was a moment that millions had been waiting for, and @Delta went all out.
The airline flew two sold-out path-of-totality flights from Texas to Detroit on Monday, and I was lucky to snag a window seat on one of them.
Here’s what it was like onboard.
