The. Entire. Thread. 👏🏾 👏🏾 🔥
I am on a train and can only use my phone rn, so AMA. Alternately, one like = one writing tip or book publishing opinion.
To kick things off: prologues are fine as long as they’re shorter than 1000 words and not redundant with Chapter 1!

The Trump Administration Accidentally Texted Me Its War Plans
U.S. national-security leaders included me in a group chat about upcoming military strikes in Yemen. I didn’t think it could be real. Then the bombs started falling.

In high school, a teacher would reprimand *only* me despite there being many others in class doing the same things.
When my dad and I met with her she looked us dead in the face and said:
"There are two levels of fairness."

JUSTICE means ensuring just one level of fairness for all.

Remember a couple weeks ago when I proclaimed that we were about to witness a Revolution of Help and Humanity?
Did you catch when last night Kendrick Lamar stood in front of the world and said, "the revolution will be televised"?
Yeah. It's only the beginning.

In the midst of tumultuous times, at least these two things will remain to be true.
1. There will always be helpers.
2. You and I can be one of them.
