Gnight. Shield by your side. Water on the bedside table. MORE lembas bread. And here’s a measure of peace— enough to get you through the night, but not so much that you tune out the world. Because the world needs you Dream big, dream true
I love digging into the craft of authors I admire, so I wrote a thing for @mglunchbreak about @beasleywrites and her fabulous book, TUMBLE & BLUE. #mglit #amwriting Knowing the Whole Story: The First Chapter of Tumble and Blue mglunchbreak.com/2018/06/19/kno…

If you think authoritarianism cannot happen here in America, I lived through a time when it already did: to 120,000 Japanese Americans, most of us citizens. It starts by dehumanizing a group, then spreads through fear, ignorance and hate. Recognize the patterns. Remember history.

Indulge me a personal story: I started teaching in a charter high school. It was the school's third year, and we were still in a windowless warehouse that doubled as a homeless shelter on weekends. We were a dedicated, passionate and fun-loving team. 1/
It's 99 degrees outside. Where is the fall I was promised? 🥺
This book turns two today. I never could have imagined the outpouring of empathy, compassion, and love that it has received. Thank you, welcomers—whenever I find myself tending towards despair, you give me a powerful jolt of hope. #wishtree
Book Review: Sal and Gabi Break the Universe bethmitchell.rocks/2019/09/22/boo…
@KA_Doore @kurestinarmada oh, mine does this too, what a helpful character ("we really have to catch this plane... i'd better make sure she doesn't forget AT ANY TIME IN THE NEXT TWO WEEKS"). the worst!!!
This is way later than I meant to post but *ahem* I HAVE A BOOK COMING OUT THIS FALL AND LOOK AT THIS BEAUTIFUL COVER! Then read more here: clockworkfoundry.com/2019/02/presen…
I've needed to hear this from a couple of directions before it finally sank in, so I'm putting it here in case anyone else needs it: You are not failing if you can't do literally everything at once. No, but that includes you. No but really though.
Happy release day to #CircleOfShadows ! Can't wait to read this epic, ninja-inspired fantasy! amazon.com/Circle-Shadows…
Parenting is such adventures in fatigue. I mean, there's that standard "sick child crying every hour overnight" tired, and then there's "there are three major arguments I absolutely have to have with my child every day for the next three weeks or even longer probably oh god".

RIP Mary Oliver. How does a person learn to put words together like this? What a legacy. What a loss.
Happy New Year, everyone! And especially to all the #mglit authors debuting this year! Having finished my debut year just a day ago, I'm going to share a wee countdown of things that I wish I'd known at the start. Maybe this will make the journey a bit easier for the rest of you.
