It's the narcissist showdown 🎵

Nothing like a public breakup between the nation's two largest assholes to drag me back to twitter....

I just sent a letter telling AI companies they do not not have the right to use my work. Use the @authorsguild's letter template to send your own: actionnetwork.org/letters/author…

So, what's everyone stress eating this evening?

It's been such a gift to be assisting with the writing program at the @Arrowmont #springpentaculum2024 5 days in the smokies to immerse myself in nothing but writing and the company of fellow writers. Desperately needed.

I’m working away in the beautiful natural setting of #ArrowmontSchool on a writing retreat and look forward to reading everyone’s #haikuSaturday posts when I’m back at my desk next week. #arrowmont #springpentaculum2024 #craftschoolexperience #writingretreat #writerslife

Writers, I challenge you to subvert a trope, but only slightly. The elf uses a crossbow.

Alright I gave all the other platforms the good ol' college try, but I missed you all too much. What's been going on in here?

Hunger Mountain has a NEW category for the bold, the brave, and the slippery. It is for those who, like us, relish the in-between, the genre-less, the boundless, the blended. Words only, please. No other rules. Submit now! hungermtn.submittable.com/submit/273531/…

A piece of my heart will always be in Montpelier, and the rest is breaking. Stay safe all of you VCFA lovelies.

Teaching a new class tonight on character development. What are some of your favorite ways an author has introduced a beloved character?

Me checking my mailbox to see if RIPE by @sarahroseetter is in there yet, even though it's 9:41 am
