@HighImpactFlix I try to fast from Saturday dinner until Monday breakfast/lunch. Some weeks by Sunday lunch, I’m in tears. Some weeks I don’t notice until Monday lunch.

When was the last time you fasted for 24 hours and do you find it difficult?

@mermaidwrites I had one for babies 1-3. #4 didn’t have one, but friend organized a gift drive, just not a shower. #5 had one from my aunt’s sorority because they wanted a reason to have a party. Gift drive was the best! No stupid games, no awkward presents. Was miserable at the showers.

Okay but were y'all ladies raised to think that one baby shower is enough? I had 5 babies and one piddly shower no one came to. Now my daughter in law is on baby number 4 and shower number 4 lol. I feel like I got jipped.

@ernie_fink Thank you for hosting. I don’t know why I don’t always see the #WriteChat but I’m glad when I do.

#WriteChat Thank you for stopping by tonight. As always it's great to have you around. Be well everyone, stay healthy, Write Strong.

#WriteChat Topic: Smaller than a Bread Box Q1: What is the smallest main character in one of your stories?

@ernie_fink Usually the purpose of someone being sick to to show someone else care of that individual.

#WriteChat Topic: Smaller than a Bread Box Q4: Tell us about the use of germs in your stories, whether by disease, a germaphobe, or something else.

@ernie_fink One of my characters has a novelty salt and pepper shaker set from a neighbor she was close to. She has very few sentimental things but that is one she kept with her wherever she moved.

#WriteChat Topic: Smaller than a Bread Box Q3: Valuable items don’t always need to be large. Tell us about something like that in your story.

@mrmikeMTL The basement?

With your bank balance right now, where can you travel?

@homemakinghunny That’s a great day! Unsolicited advice on ants (which can wait until Monday)- boil water to clean their trails and clean the ant trails and put cornstarch on cracks and entrances. Ants are a pain. I love ant baits but I my kids aren’t little and know not to touch them.

I’ve got the girl’s church outfits set out for tomorrow, my potential outfits set out, carrot cake baked oatmeal in the oven for tomorrow’s breakfast. Pie baked for tomorrow’s family dinner. Laundry mostly caught up. Bedsheets in the wash and bedroom tidied. Girl’s bedroom tidied. Managed to get out for a walk with baby earlier. Still dealing with ants so lots of vacuuming and spraying yet again. A productive Saturday to prepare for a restful Sunday! There were pockets of rest in today too though.

6 for me!! I feel confident nobody Has all 20 How many for you?

@end3of6days9 Both kids that we got estimates for was well over 10k. Each had a two year plan and multiple steps. Their teeth don’t look horrible or cause problems.

This mom gets the estimate for her teenage son's braces and her reaction is pure, relatable shock. She sits there staring at the paper: over $6,000 for full top-and-bottom braces. "What? Like who can afford over $6,000 for braces?" she says, voice cracking with disbelief. Her son needs them for an overbite and just one or two crooked teeth—"his teeth aren't even that crooked"—but it's still full treatment. She thought maybe it was $1,900 or something (perhaps a down payment), but nope, the numbers are real. He's got two insurances (one through mom, one through dad), yet the estimate only factors in dad's. She hopes hers kicks in more, especially since her daughter only needed top braces before. But even so, she's floored: "Oh my god, this can't be real. This can't be real. Parents, is this real?" This is the everyday reality hitting so many families right now. A basic need like fixing your kid's teeth turns into a massive financial gut punch—thousands out of pocket, even with insurance, while you're already dealing with life’s other curveballs. Kids shouldn't have to go without straight teeth and confidence because orthodontics costs more than a used car. Parents shouldn't have to choose between braces and bills. Who's been hit with a braces quote that made you do a double-take? Or is this just what we Americans have to deal with in 2026?

@joylilacbeauty Making “eyes” grow.

@AMaesAuthor Sounds good! What is chitting?

I planted onions, prepared potatoes for chitting and gave a chicken a bath. Is that good for a day?

@stephenRB4 Any and all 🤣🤪. Literally, all goals are celebrated. Every ref booed. Each fight! I love hockey but can’t cheer for just one team at a game.

I’ve recently started to get into professional (ice) hockey. What teams do you support? 🏒

@elizanane Seriously! I read it, love it! I prepare it for querying and hate it, so I start again. How do I know?

How do you know if your book is any good… 💔

@JennMGreenberg I easily could do without chocolate cake or coconut. Yes, I know red velvet is just chocolate cake but it’s yummy and chocolate cake is gross.

Red Velvet cake has to go. It’s just a chocolate cake with not enough cocoa and red food coloring in it. Just make a chocolate cake. You can even put buttermilk and vinegar in it.

@littleapostate Grandparents were allowed to visit in the hospital. And at home, the first two weeks at home were family and those who dropped off a meal, even then, the visits were short.

I am scared to ask twitter this but I am also very curious when you gave birth, did you allow family to come visit immediately? Or did you allow space for just you and your baby to bond? Or is it evil to want to space for you and baby to bond????

How do I apply for this job? Love the ones who thank the bus driver! 🤣

Trying to start the week on a positive note. Have a good Monday everyone!🐾😎

@DNicholsAuthor Annalise knows that love hurts and can cause bodily harm. Ray loves her deeply. Will love heal her heart? Can he wait that long?

Hey, fellow writers... Pretend I'm a hot shot agent and you have to pitch me your book using just one sentence. GO! #WritingCommunity #writers #writingq

@CNviolations @AustenMathieson What does the sign say?

Insufferable
