Truth
Casual reminder that the myth of “pulling yourself up by your bootstraps” is a cruel hoax designed to convince poor people from all walks of life that the injustices they face are a result of their own actions, rather than an oppressive system rigged against them.

Although it was great attending the Texas Book Fest and being toasted for a book award I won a few months ago, the best feeling to me as a writer is getting back to my fiction work. I've been thinking about my current manuscript and I'm itching to immerse myself back in my story!

I'm discovering more & more that even when I'm not in the mood to write, that I can still do it if I just start my routine of making myself tea or coffee, putting on my favorite writing music, eating a cookie, and reading the last few sentences from my previous writing session. It works every time!

I've been checking out all the new celebrity book clubs with Jimmy Fallon and Dua Lipa and I gotta admit, the more book clubs, the better! If you're a celebrity thinking of starting a book club, then do it! 🤓 📚

Saw the movie Good Fortune yesterday. A subplot is about service workers being replaced by robots & it was the 1st day at Alamo Drafthouse where I had to order thru an app instead of with a human server. Instead of enjoying the previews, I futzed in the dark with an app I'd never used before. Lame!

Hey #writerscommunity I spent the week down in the dumps because I read a shitty section in my WIP and my brain went into "you suck as a writer so why do you even try" mode. Thought of a good way to rewrite the shitty section this morning, so now my stupid brain is fine. The writer life is wild 🤪

It's always a trip to read something I wrote months ago for the first time. It's like revisiting a dream. Often I don't remember what I wrote although I remember some of it, the beats of the story, but not the words exactly. It's strange & surprising when I realize it's good! #writerscommunity 🤓 ✍️ 📖
