Kathy was one of my closest friends and I was in awe of her brilliance and insight. It seems that in her death, she is being heard. Mentor. Friend. Sister of my heart.

Question for the writers out there: I’m writing a character who is a stepmom. She actively takes the role of main parent because bio mom can’t/wont. If she doesn’t out herself as a “stepmom” in conversation would that make you angry? Is she a fraud? #amwriting

honestly think some of the hesitation here is that no one wants to sound like a crank. i was talking at an event last night and even i felt like a crank while i was speaking!
What if there were a coup, the US government fell to a drug-addled oligarch who seized control of our money, secrets, and levers of power, and Corporate media did not report on it?

Everyone starts off thinking they want writing advice but slowly finds out what they're really looking for is writing _confidence_ to get in the chair and do the work.
