ICYMI — “I identified myself as a U.S. citizen and a veteran, but that didn't matter. ICE Agents smashed my window, sprayed tear gas and pepper spray into my car, dragged me out… this experience violated the very principles I fought to defend.”

Making notes on a novel that is not the next one I thought to be writing, because sure.

MINNEAPOLIS: “All I did was step outside as a Somali American citizen, and I got chased by a masked person, assaulted, kidnapped. It was inhumane. If this is what’s happening to a 🇺🇸 citizen on camera, imagine what could happen to your loved ones.”

It’s so funny to me how my writing skeets seem to take off. I barely consider myself a professional, despite having a book published. I’m just a bobo that got lucky.

I get that I can be annoying about alt text but I need you to imagine for just a minute what it's like to rely it.
Imagine logging onto socials and every post is "Omg this is so funny! Image." Or, "This is really important information. Image."
You don't know what the image is - it's just "image".

Reviews of your books aren't typically for you. They're for other readers.
If you must read them, do so with a detached mindset to avoid getting your feelings hurt.
Not everyone who disliked your book will be able to articulate what frustrated them in a way that helps you grow as a writer.
