New blog post! In “More Than a Month,” I reflect on what Pride means to me, not just in June but for the rest of the year as well. Remember: Pride is not just a party; it’s a protest.

More than a Month

Pride is so much more than a month. It’s paying respect to everyone in our community who came before me and paved the way for me to live as my authentic self. It’s putting in the work t…

Tomorrow, a certain online mega-retailer launches a book sale, just days before Indie Bookstore Day on 4/26. This is no coincidence; Bookstore Day is one of the largest revenue drivers for indies.

Indies need our support to thrive & build community spaces for all...mega-retailers do not.

“Finishing, in this sense, feels not like the end of the road but more like closing one chapter and opening the next one.” Some reflections in my latest blog post.

On Finishing

Finishing, in this sense, feels not like the end of the road but more like closing one chapter and opening the next one. I have stories to tell, dreams to chase, and goals to achieve. I was meant t…

Every time you see someone powerful acting like a craven coward in the face of this authoritarian menace, let it stiffen your own spine. We are all we've got.

We’re human. Rejection hurts, and it’s easy to take it personally. But it's not always about you. Rejection is an opportunity to improve and grow, something we can always do as writers. And as humans.

Reframing Rejection

We’re human. Rejection hurts, and it’s easy to instinctively take it personally. But it’s not always about you. What I’ve learned when it comes to my own writing is that “no” sometimes just m…

This rash of book-banning isn't about children, protecting children, or reducing "obscenity".

If that were true, the banning activists wouldn't be reading sex scenes out loud at public, recorded and transcribed meetings.

It's about shaming.

Shaming people into silence.

Don't be ashamed.

Thoughts on the word “no” as a writer and editor. New blog post is up. #writesky #writers #blogger #author #creativenonfiction #publishing #mfa

robynleaweaver.com/2025/02/17/t...

The Lowercase “no”

Let’s talk about the word NO. I write that in all caps, because that’s how the word feels in my head. NO! As a writer, I don’t like to hear it. But as an editor, I have to say it all the time.…

Day 7: “I retreated into myself, keeping my secrets day in and day out, occasionally wandering into the black hole and watching my backpack hit the ground over and over, trying to remember what happened to me when I thought I should be dying.”

Day 6: “I held my arm straight out in front of me until finally one of them landed on me, its legs softly tickling my arm in the exact place I got that yellow butterfly tattoo a few weeks later.”
