Hey. I want to buy some art. And I want it to have been made by a real artist, not AI. Is that so hard to ask, #Etsy? Can we get a filter for that?

To be honest, I’m having a hard time getting through Dune. I’m kind of surprised by this. Convince me to keep reading?

I swear to god these kids have never heard what a “weekend” is, or “sleeping in,” or “don’t talk to me before 8 a.m. please”

Parable of the Sower by Octavia E. Butler was SO worth the long wait on Libby. Interesting to see how she wrote the 2020s back in 1993 and how uncomfortably close some of these dystopian themes are to our current reality. (Can we start Earthseed yet?) #BookSky

KPop Demon Hunters has absolutely no right to be so catchy. Got me pausing my audiobook when my kids are watching this film 🙄🥲 #HowItsDoneDunDun

I have never finished a book that made me say, “What the hell was that?!” then immediately consume the next two books, turn around and read the first book AGAIN —all in the span of the week — quite like the MaddAddam series by Margaret Atwood. #Booksky

Day 72 of having a dream about some forgotten bathroom complete with a deep, jetted bathtub — only to wake up jacuzzi-less and disappointed.

I received an email today, addressing me as “Dr …” and stating that my work has influenced a topic related to an upcoming research project.

1. I did publish articles about the topic, but I was connecting others’ research to broader themes …

2. I do not have a Ph.D, but thanks for the ego boost!

At just a week shy of her fifth birthday, I put my daughter to bed.

“I love you,” she whispers clumsily in my ear.
“I love you infinity,” I say.

Without missing a beat, she whispers back, “My name is not infinity.”

Oh, kid’s got jokes, huh? Well played. 🙃

The struggle of going through the process of getting your M.A. in your current field, but all you really want to do is read books about magic and write stories about people that don’t exist. What am I doing here, folks.

I also liked Weyward a lot. Well constructed, literary, multi-POV with subtle (yet terrifying) magic elements — and a satisfying end.

Unsolicited writing advice, no. #16140:
Don't assume that your desk is where all your writing happens. 90% of the process of creation happens elsewhere. Use whatever time you have. Thinking time; dreaming time; observing time; analyzing time. All this time can be part of your work. Don't waste it.

The best thing about winter is snowboarding. If I’m not tossing my body down a mountain — and presently, I am not — you can kindly keep the cold.

After the first 3 books in the #Mistborn series, we take a time jump to Steampunk Cowboy Land™️.

After reading Swordheart by T. Kingfisher last year, I had to read more of her work. The Saint of Steel series is perfect for those looking for a dual POV fantasy/romantasy with witty, endearing characters that aren’t fresh baby adults. #booksky
