#SipHappens centers around a diverse ensemble whose biracial identities, sexual orientations, spiritual practices & histories R rooted in the interrogation of ✡️ as both lineage/choice. Through ☕️ as ritual/rupture, it explores what we inherit, conceal & what we’re willing 2 redefine in pursuit of ❤️.

#Querying tip: If, like me, you’ve been up to your 👀 eyeballs, now seems to be a good time to consider contacting #literaryagents outside of the #US who do not celebrate #Thanksgiving. 🦃 Any #agents / #authors here disagree? Please let’s hear your thoughts. #writingcommunity #Booksky #Booktok

Regarding that #adage, “ #write what you know…” If I followed that strictly today, my #sequel would be a sleepy tale about a yawning #writer blearing at a cursor and sipping cold #tea. ☕️

#Dialogue.
That’s the #genesis for me. A #character whispers something, makes themselves known. Reveals a need, some #longing, deep #secrets. Whatever makes them vulnerable, exquisite and #unforgettable to me in their relentless pursuit to be fully formed and fleshed out on the #page.

"You can't really succeed with a novel anyway; they're too big. It's like city planning. You can't plan a perfect city because there's too much going on that you can't take into account. You can, however, write a perfect sentence now and then. I have." —Gore Vidal#Writing

Went to a party tonight. After spending days/nights living in my own world, that social scene normally isn’t my thing. The same can be said posting on #social media, but in the short time I’ve been active here, the #BlueSky #fam has welcomed me and my #writing & for that I’m very grateful. ❤️

This Israeli dating ad uses two kids to make a joke out of rejecting a Yemenite boy. He shares his heritage, she shuts down instantly. It only works because #Racism between Jews is normalised. The ad was pulled, but the mindset runs deep. We need to confront it – to repair. #jewsky

At Deja Brew, a tiny café in the #FrenchQuarter, there is a velvet banquette tucked inside its jazz-soaked corner where 2 people share tea & the kind of intimacy that defies definition. The air is lush & they haven’t touched, but their #soul connection is palpable…

I'm deep into my #sequel and loving the thematic threads emerging. It got me thinking:
#WritingCommunity, what is the most unexpected or creative #motif you’ve ever woven into one of your stories? How did that recurring element surprise you during the writing process?
