I had so much fun talking to writers in Napa about WRITE A ROMANTASY: 99 WRITING PROMPTS TO CRAFT A TALE OF HEART AND HEROISM. We did a spicy writing exercise & one writer said she was writing in cursive so no one nearby would see how dirty she was lol. www.simonandschuster.com/books/Write-...

I saw Stand Up If You’re Here Tonight at Echo Theater Company in LA (at Atwater Village Theater) and it’s wonderful. An antidote to all the toxicity of <waves arms around> everything. A play about connection that makes you feel more connected to people in the room. AND it’s only 60 minutes long! Go!

No one told me that the best part of your book’s birthday/publishing day is getting selfies from your friends letting you know their pre-order came in 😭🥰. My heart is full! Excited to see what’s next for *WRITE A ROMANTASY: 99 Writing Prompts to Craft a Tale of Heart and Heroism* now that it’s out.

The world keeps changing, but if Anne Washburn's brilliant play Mr. Burns: A Post-Electric Play taught me anything, it's that humans will always find a way to make theater. WHO WANTS TO WRITE THEIR FIRST PLAY??? Let me help you! #TheatreSky

We’re not gonna let these corrupt con men steal our country anymore. These are some of the signs I saw at the Pasadena #HandsOff rally today. Was inspiring to be around so many other people who are not going to take it anymore. More action!

The problem with this is Trump doesn't care to or want to show actual leadership. We won't survive the next 4 years if we keep saying it's time for Trump to do better. That's not a possible outcome. We need to put all our efforts into blocking & reversing his destructive actions.
