But I think the most important question of the day is: Key Lime La Croix, or Lime La Croix? (One helped me learn to like sparkling water, the other reminded me why I hated it in the first place.)

Most will admit that sometimes they're wrong. But, at any given moment, we rarely know what we're wrong about, exactly. Doesn't that indicate we should skew to humility? And grace? I don't think it means we have to agree. πŸ€”

So often these days, I have to force myself to sit down and write. Inspiration and motivation...poof. It's not so much writer's block as writer's slump. #amwriting (Or trying to, at least.)

Am I the only one who digitally stalks people before meeting them (it's research!) and then have to remember not to reveal what I learned until they tell me the info themselves? And am I the only one who doesn't always succeed in this little farce? #MoronsOfTheWritingCommunity

As a former musician (if 15 years of piano lessons and a minor in music qualify me), the sounds of repetitive music practice don't usually bother me. Been there, done that. But my son's new guitar amp is LOUD, and if I hear Back in Black one more time.... πŸ˜©πŸ€•πŸ˜–

A friend of mine recently spoke on the topic of jealousy, and I've been thinking about it ever since. I've never thought of myself as jealous (I'm a cheerleader, not a competitor), but I've started to notice the sneaky ways it infiltrates my thoughts. How 'bout you? Jealous? πŸ€”

I am mourning the loss of hubby's beard this morning. It was taken from me suddenly and unexpectedly last night, and the grief is fresh. #RIP #GoodbyeScruffy 😒

De-platforming and cancelling are ineffective solutions used to treat the symptoms of a deeper problem. Let's examine how and why we elevate people in the first place.

As I scroll Twitter today, I'm reminded of these poignant words: β€œIf you love those who love you, what credit is that to you? And if you do good to those who are good to you, what credit is that to you? But love your enemies, do good to them...." A worthy (and difficult) goal.

Well, the year is nearly half over. How am I doing on my writing goals, you ask? Wow, how 'bout them Dodgers, ammarite? #amwriting (??)

Had an awkward social encounter yesterday. What's the best way to get over the cringes today? Every time I think about it (which is too often), I erupt in fresh embarrassment all over again. This ever happen to you? #MoveOnBrain

Hoping to query this year, and I have a question for Indies who also pursue traditional publishing: At what point do you abandon the trad route and self-publish? A set length of time querying? A certain number of rejections? Other? #WritingCommunity #amwriting #amquerying soon

I just realized we're about a month out from the annual pumpkin spice takeover. Bring. It. On. πŸ‚β˜•οΈπŸ˜‹ #ReadyforFall

Do character-driven writers (and readers) look down on plot-driven writers (and readers)? My observations say yes. #amwriting
