Hi fellow #writers, how’s your summer? Did you write today? #writingcommunity

My wedding planning is going pretty well. It’s still in the very early stages - trying to find the groom - but I feel pretty good about it.

Honestly I never stopped calling it HBO Max… is this the same feeling people who didn’t update that one clock get when the time is finally right again after Daylight Saving Time?

I… need to stop watching #YellowJackets while I eat dinner

Apologies in advance, I’m not available for any dinner plans tonight, I have to spend the whole evening rewatching videos of that Karaban 3 from every angle.

Thank you for your understanding.

So crazy to think one day I’m going to change my emergency contact from my mom to some rando I probably haven’t even met yet

Hey fellow #UConn alumni, if you’re making a 2025 vision board don’t forget to put pictures of our basketball teams so we can get the (dual) championship vibes going now.

Cleopatra lived closer in time to 'yeet' being in the dictionary than to the construction of the Great Pyramid of Giza.

I can’t decide if my internet search history or my calculator history is more embarrassing

Some things can’t be taught but I’m not sure what exactly because I think that’s one of the things.

Just read a quote in @jamesclear.bsky.social newsletter:

"There is someone out there with a wound in the exact shape of your words."

If that’s not motivation to #write today, I don’t know what is.

Hello fellow #writers, someone recently told me that Hemingway only wrote 500 words a day, so I’ve decided that’s my goal for the year. 500 words a day, every single day (read: as many days as possible). Who wants to join me?

I truly feel the mark of an excellent show is that you keep thinking about it (and what you can learn from it) after you finish watching. #Shrinking is one of those shows and I can’t wait to watch the nominations start rolling in.

The amount of times I said “I think Taylor Swift is going to drop reputation TV this week” in 2024 is crazy.

My 2025 resolution is to say it more.

Being Type A is tough sometimes. For instance, I’d love to get a head start on wedding planning since it seems like a lot of work, but I guess you need to find a significant other first?

Writing out holiday cards? More like double checking how to spell the name of every person I’m close to in case I, all of a sudden, somehow, got it wrong this year.

Say it with me:

If you are writing a book you aren’t an **aspiring** author, you ARE an author!

Be proud of yourself, babe! Writing a book ain’t easy! #WritingCommunity

No way I got to watch @michaelurie.bsky.social deliver that incredible monologue twice in one season!?

Adding that to the list of things I’m grateful for this year. #Shrinking
