At the No Kings marches, please be peaceful. They’re going to look for any reason to discredit these protests and there will be bad actors there who will want to start trouble. Ignore their efforts and call them out. Don’t let them win! #nokingsday #protestpeacefully

To everyone participating in the protests today, be safe, keep hydrated, and let your voices be heard!!

New Jersey Senator Cory Booker broke the filibuster record today; 25 hours and some minutes!! He stood up to the administration’s actions and read letters from his constituents about how the changes are harming their lives.

@sararaaschbooks.com new book came in and I can’t wait to see what comes next in this holiday series. And just in time for #stpatricksday, too! #booksky #holidayread

Cleaning my bookshelf is rarely a good idea. Yeah, I get a chance to take stock of what I have but then I’m reading the back of the book, then the first page to see if I’ll like it, then the next, and next thing I know, 3 hours have passed, I’m surrounded by book piles, and nothing is done. #booksky

I painted and polished up a writing desk gifted by a coworker. Very proud that I didn’t end up wearing the paint. Small wins.

Reading your work from the beginning:

Pros:
• see where you can improve your story and shore up plot holes.
• fall in love with your characters again
• get motivated to pick the story up and write again

Cons:
• massive cringe at your previous work and what you thought was good

Got a snow day off from work, so now it’s time to sit down with my coffee and do some work on that story I’ve been mentally planning out for the last two weeks…right after I update my computer system, empty the dishwasher, feed the cat, start the laundry - oh, when did I last check the mail?

Needed to do something fun and relaxing for me, so baking some bread was the right call. From left to right, a chocolate chip bread to pair with ice cream, a chocolate bread to have as is, and an applesauce bread for subtle sweetness. Good day, I’d say. #baking #sweetbreads #keepingmysanity

It’s hard to get back into reading at times, especially if there are so many outside factors getting in your way. So if you want to read that unhinged fanfic clearly written to destroy your frail grasp on your sanity, then go ahead. Treat yourself.

I wrote this on one of the darkest days of my life. It gave me an anchor to hold onto.

I am a multi-genre reader so this has all the genres 🙈😊
(I feel like I should have gotten even more lol)

Writing:

Step 1: sit down with pen and paper or computer.

Step 2: pull forth the characters who will appear in the scene.

Step 3: put them in the scene you’ve written.

Step 4: watch them interact-no! Put that chair down! You can’t steal that- where did you get the chicken from? What is going on?

TikTok is operational for some US users. Please use caution if you plan on going back right away. We don’t know what’s changed or the plan is for the app just yet.

Binging TikTok before it goes dark (US based) and I have never been so grateful to the creators and communities there. It’s been a place of creation, love, and learning. I will miss it dearly but will continue on through other apps. I want to be more true to myself in their honor. Thank you, #tiktok

First meeting of my book club was a success. Have six books planned with back ups ready in case of DNF’s or early finishes. I’m looking forward to the ones about social growth, construct, and development. Feel like we’re gonna need those this year. #bookclub2025 #readytoread #booksky

With the snow coming down out there, good day to do some writing. #snowday #writing2025 #snowdayessentials

Powerful black women getting things done. Latest media I’ve seen is ‘The Six Triple Eight’ streaming on Netflix. The greatest respect to those women and a big middle finger to those who did everything they could to make them fail. #thesixtripleeight #strongblackwomen #mailwin

Remember that books are going to be harder to find. Public libraries might be something that they go after. I know that food is #1 priority, but knowledge should be in your top 5.

Please stay safe and please educate yourself.

For #jolabokaflod, the Icelandic tradition of being gifted a book and reading it through the night into morning, I’ll be enjoying a nice long #Thilbo Bagginshield fanfic. Happy holidays! #holidayreads

Was gifted a “Date with a book” by a coworker. I’ve never read this kind of book but I’ll try almost anything once. The goodies that came with it were nice, too. #datewithabook #giftedbook
