Tacos for Thanksgiving sounds amazing
Realized I didn't post this here.
Turkey for thanksgiving is traditional, not mandatory.
You can have something else.
Seriously.
You can have barbecue if you want. You can have tacos. You can have the feast *you enjoy* not what tradition says.

I recently learned that the ER sound that's so common in English and Mandarin occurs in less than 1% of languages worldwide. If you're a speculative fiction writer and you needed a tidbit for a language you're building, you're welcome. #sff #SpecFic #SpecLit #language #linguistics #WritingCommunity

I recently learned about the Vetala Panchavimshati and got hit by inspiration for a mosaic novel. When I told my boyfriend about it, he just sat there wondering why I know what a vetala is. Welcome to the world of a speculative fiction writer. #sff #SpecFic #SpecLit #WriteSky
