Occasionally I poke around my website to look at some old writing, prompt responses, etc, and it literally feels like someone else did all of that. Feels like I'll never tap into that well of creativity again and it SUCKS. #WritersBlock

Is it weird that the first thing I thought of when I heard the pope is from Chicago was: “Julius Pepperwood. Thin crust pizza? No thank you, I’m from Chicago.”

EVOCATIONxJANE LAWRENCE why do you need an angel? according to the codex his teacher wrote, that’s the most important question to ask when summoning them. simon knows his answer: there’s someone he worships—the teacher he built a cult around—and he won’t stop until he has him. #QuestPit #A #H #wip

Reached the stage of toddlerhood where she demands to go potty by herself. The kicker? She’s not fully potty trained yet. Pray for me.

I don’t understand Denying “criminals” due process denies us all due process. It’s supposed to be innocent until proven guilty. The moment we start to work on the assumption of guilt is the moment the powers that be can do whatever they want to whoever they want.

The theme song to Spidey and His Amazing Friends is a gift to former emo millennial parents.

#UnhingedPit #A #F #Q The impulsive thoughts only get stronger the more Videl tries to ignore them.

Writers who are also moms - I need some advice! How did you get back into writing postpartum? I kind of got back into it once my first became a toddler, but now I have a newborn again and have no idea when I’ll get back to it. I’m sleep deprived and my creativity is suffering. #WritingCommunity

Just got the loveliest feedback with a rejection and it’s just the thing I needed to motivate another round of querying. Back into the trenches I go! #AmQuerying #WritingCommunity
