Today I hosted my first shut up and #write session at the Camano Island library. I had some really interesting participants. It was fun to meet these other #writers and enjoy some #writing time together.

I purchased a couple of lovely pieces of art from Susan Thompson Cohen, and so I had to paint my wall red so that they would be displayed beautifully. I love her work makes me smile. #painting #artwork #homedecor

Great sitting down with Brian Tyler Cohen to talk about everything from the courage we saw in Minnesota, to how Democrats can be true to our values and get stuff done, to how we’re building a community of changemakers at the Obama Foundation. youtube.com/watch?v=uI-hgSE5QIw

These are great quotes about the process of rewriting a novel or whatever you’re working on. I especially agree that you don’t use a pen to #rewrite you use a knife or a scalpel —cut cut cut. #novel #writing

Yeah, the coffee shop sometimes offers welcome distractions.
Mostly, it’s visual for me, having people milling about around me, sitting and talking—- because I wear earplugs when I’m there

I try to write in a coffee shop at least twice a week. Always find it productive, and like the background noise.

Republicans are still trying to pass the SAVE Act—a bill that would make it harder to vote and disenfranchise millions of Americans. Join @redistrictingaction.org and tell your member of Congress to vote no: act.redistrictingaction.org/a/natl-saveact-cte

I get to a #coffee shop once or twice a week to just do focused writing ✍️ yesterday I got three hours of #writing in while I was waiting for my #doggroomer to call and tell me my pup was beautiful again. It was a very productive writing session. Are you a #coffeeshop #writer?

HA! I love your term ‘reattacked’ I’m gonna use that. I hate #rewriting so much re-attacked just makes me feel more resilient about the approach. Good luck in your #rewrite —Excuse me your re-attacking.🤣😂🤣

Great webinar yesterday w/ Jessica Strawser & Jane Friedman on characters. My biggest take away... making sure my characters' motivations are clear from the onset. 📖
I've already reattacked Chap 1 of my almost-ready-to-query speculative novel & it's much improved! 😀

#pambondi literally refused to look at the victims, and in that moment, she turned her back on her sisters in humanity and chose to be a #pedophileprotector . She is exactly the kind of woman seated at the table with Hitler and she will go down in history as such.

Horrifying. #stopICE
From @wired.com: “Federal records reveal ICE is secretly expanding into 150+ facilities across nearly every state — many near schools, medical offices, and places of worship… DHS asked the General Services Administration to hide lease listings and bypass normal procedures…”🤔
