Reminder that the party's over here now:

You know the drill. See you on the other side?

@TimHuttonAu Yeah!

Weird to see that this image is still making the rounds six years later. (And it still applies—please vote!)

I can't remember the exact quote or who said it, but I love the idea that even if you don't love any candidates, voting is about choosing your opponent. Who do you want to be pushing to change? Who's going to be easier to sway to your view, or more likely to make concessions?

@seeshespeak Daaaaamn! Nice!

Spent the weekend in a fairytale

It's the perfect month for a supernatural sapphic fake-dating rom-com! A curmudgeonly teenage ghost hunter finally finds a ghost... but the ghost won't help her get famous unless she agrees to take his little sister to prom. 😵‍💫👻😬 jameslsutter.com/novels.html

@RealGraz Ha! Delicious! :)

@jameslsutter just remembering our pizza discussion from many years ago.

Latidos literarios: Redescubre el amor a través de las páginas. En el Día Internacional del Corazón, disfruta de historias que laten con fuerza. En este día tan especial, no puedes perderte #Darkhearts de @jameslsutter

In 2015, by virtue of having a recently abandoned army barracks, my declining hometown of ~10,000 received more than 2,000 refugees. Almost ten years later, it has more doctors, restaurants, and lively playgrounds than anyone can remember. The shrinking school stayed open.

Some advice on revision—and when to stop revising and just put the work out there.
