Finally reading A Long Stretch of Bad Days by @mindymcginnis.bsky.social
Every time I open up one of her books, I'm reminded how amazing her skill is with making realistic teen characters who act in ways that aren't watered down or "nice".
If you haven't checked her books out yet, HERE'S YOUR SIGN.

Heroine is banned for “glorifying drug use.”
Square that for me.

Conversation about what it takes to survive as a writer : Current workload - YA ms due 1/15, 2 adult projects, 2 ghostwriting projects. I also have done 87 events this year. You don’t get to stop and there are no breaks.

Met Henry Winkler last night!! Thank you @thurberhouse for the opportunity! I use Henry as my social media litmus test - if my feed starts getting too dark, I follow him and the algorithm promptly cleanses itself.
