Sorry I dropped off the face of the earth before #LGBTQWriteAThon even ended! I’m having a tough time. I’ll be MIA for a while.

Where are the people talking about the DOJ opening an investigation into the Tulsa Race Massacre?
I mean, it's almost 100 years too late, but...progress?

Howdy, #LGBTQWriteAThon. This is an aspect of writing craft I deeply struggle with. I just keep a vague outline in my head, and hope it all falls together. I think I could work on my outlining/planning skills.

Waves of discouragement happen. Let them wash over you. It isn't pleasant, but you won't know whether you can stand back up until they pass. Maybe you need a break. Maybe you need to move on. But maybe you really do want to keep going. So wait & see where the wave leaves you before making a decision

Good afternoon, #LGBTQWriteAThon! I love this craft advice from Shannon Hale. It's really encouraging when I feel like my first draft is lacking something.

What makes the death of Marcellus Williams at the hand of the state so disgusting is the reason for killing him seems to be “we can’t call the whole process into question because we had to admit we were wrong”. At that point you’re so upside-down morally that I don’t know how you get upright.

Punitive justice, ironically, is an unjust system. It needs to be abolished and replaced with a restorative justice system.

It's currently Banned Books Week and I'd love to use this moment to remind you that book bans aren't about the books.
They're about silencing marginalized people (and creating the permission structure for their harm) and defunding institutions of public learning.

Feeling sorrowful this night.
Does anyone know if Marcellus Williams had someone/a group he wanted people to donate to on his behalf?

Good morning #LGBTQWriteAThon. It's check in day! I struggled, but I DID reach my word count goal, and posted to the hashtag every day. Reading for fun has been hard ever since my 2017 car wreck/brain damage :\ and this week was tumultuous anyway. But here's to next week!

I feel like Cinema Sins style criticism has metastasized into this idea that stories are windows into alternate universes that need to be logically coherent above all else and I hate it so much
