The 'kin' of ‘napkin’ means "little." ‘Nap’ comes from ‘nape,' which means “tablecloth.” So a napkin is a little tablecloth. 10/10, no notes.

Fresh off my needles.

Pre-Christmas "this sale won't last long" ads now morphing into post-Christmas "this sale won't last long"ads. (Same price, still not buying.)

Writer brain watching #cdramas: HEA in the middle of the story often creates sag (because you lose ML/FL tension). Story picks up if/when they team up to overcome outside obstacles. #amwriting

Was going to read, but four pages in and the cliches are killing me. (Fortunately I have an audiobook and knitting.)

The complete Bayeux Tapestry has finally been released and proves that Bishop Odo had absolutely nothing to do with the illegal Norman invasion of England.

What trends emerged in book censorship in 2025? Five organizations have combed through their data and their work to bring to light what everyone should know. Consider these your places to prepare, your places to ponder, and, yes, even your places to celebrate (a bit!).

It hasn't even been twelve hours, but all three of us have been overwhelmed with requests from media for comment and I'm mostly writing this now so they'll leave me alone.

Some people may have two wolves inside them. I have two writers. One is trained to write simple verb, no adjective sentences. The other likes to toss them about like tinsel on a Christmas tree. #amwiting #booksky

"Word hoarding" the process of shifting material from your WIP into folders you might open (but rarely do). #booksky #amwriting #writersgonnawrite

I may have an addiction to cdramas. But the bad ones are a visual reminder of how important it is to start with action, avoid too much back story, and lengthy inner monologues. #booksky #amwriting

Spent yesterday reading and writing with one of my critique partners. Today, was a tough, but productive. A reminder of how important it is to periodically put the work out there and get solid feedback. (Also, to have a brilliant critique partner @alisakwitney.bsky.social) #booksky

Big fan of the mistaken identity trope. Been thinking about how these kind of stories break into story beats: deception/concealment/discovery/response to discovery/journey to revenge and or reconciliation. Hit me up with your favs #booksky

“The decision was made to exclude me from the filmed production of Swan Lake because I was told my brown skin would disrupt the aesthetic.” ~ Misty Copeland When folks gripe about DEI, remind them who benefited from shutting out dancers like Copeland. That pattern runs through our whole history.

Ugh, when did "Fall in New England" become "non-stop leaf blower season?"

Seriously, what says "Thanksgiving" more than four guys with leaf blowers next door?
