Good morning. The President of the United States was in the middle of the most serious child sex trafficking ring of the last quarter century. He is referenced not a dozen times in the case files. Not 100 times. Not 1,000 times. He’s referenced 38,000 times.

Without naming your job, tell me something you say over and over again at work. "Relax your heels toward the ground, let go of any tension in your neck and press down and forward through all ten fingers. Inhale. Exhale."

Heard something about #Caturday. Here's our awkward cat, Kola, waiting for scraps.

First one that comes to mind is "Heart-Shaped Box" by Joe Hill. Just in time for Valentine's Day! (Kidding....). 💓 #writingq #WritingCommunity

Anything by the brilliant David Sedaris. If you want to laugh, or just have a sneaky smile, pick up one of his books. #TBRuary #booksky #readingcommunity #writesky #writingcommunity

House of Leaves. A book that reads like a fever(ish) dream of an academic fun house: #BookSky #HouseofLeaves

Hello! I'm Megan, & I love writing social horror mixed with satire - a weirdly comforting way to make sense of America nowadays. Old school, but I'll always love The Haunting of Hill House. Recent faves are Paul Tremblay, Jennifer Thorne, Nat Cassidy, Grady Hendrix. #HorrorWritersChat #Horror

Mostly here for writing, but other life is dance. #WiPWednesday with some wonderful young artists.

Translated from Swedish, "When The Cranes Fly South" is a guaranteed sob-fest. Moving story about the end of a man's life. #TBRuary #readingcommunity #booksky

Honored to join the esteemed #5amwritersclub. Couldn't have done it without the support of my blue coffee mug. #WritingCommunity #yawn #Writesky #whyguys

Hi! My name's Megan, and I'm a querying contemporary writer. I recommend "The Names" by Florence Knapp. Simple, elegant premise-how different would your life be if you had another name?-with astounding consequences. @florenceknapp #TBRuary #booksky #writesky #readingcommunity #writingcommunity

FLEABAG x SCHITT'S CREEK THE MULLIGAN YEAR 80K When scandals rock a small town, a new therapist tries to help before becoming embroiled in the whole mess. 🧠 Mental Health 🍂 Intergenerational 🏋️‍♀️ Coming-of-age 💞 B-plot romance #QuestPit #F #amquerying #bookclub #contemporary #upmarket #comedy

Guess I'm missing fall 🍂🍂🍂 (And yes, House of Leaves isn't exactly a cozy autumn read) #readsky #booksky #houseofleaves #olivekittredge #bookworm #writingcommunity #elizabethstrout

On the coldest days.... #poetry #frannychoi

Morning read. #poetry

Annnnnd it was -10 degrees. Don't mess with Minnesotans.

Accidently slipping into another character's POV. That level of revising is a sneaky joy.

Goes together like PB&J. #audrelorde #poetry #bookworm #WriteSky

Loving this book so far. Explores the imagined life of the "second best" boy to play Harry Potter. Darn Daniel Radcliffe ruining his life! (Really though, this is such a delight). 📘📗🧹 #booksky #readingcommunity #writingcommunity #contemporarylit

A frightening byproduct of professional activism is that average people think they need to be certain, brave, and an expert in order to go do something. You don't. Do it unsure. Do it scared. Do it without having read all the books. Showing up for your community doesn't require a degree.

the most critical praxis here is to call Trump a humongous bitch ( i have a phd so this is real praxis )

Yes and yes.

Over 80 members now cosponsor my Articles of Impeachment against DHS Sec. Noem. Sec. Noem’s gestapo-style tactics and reckless leadership have left communities and families devastated. Share how these actions have impacted you:

Hot take: I don't like when male authors often dialogue tag adult women "giggling." Always gives me the cringe (sorry Stephen King!).

Beautiful day for a protest. #democracy #iceprotests #reneenicolegood

I was late for teaching today because I was so immersed in Catherine Newman's newest *gorgeous* novel (sorry, students!). They'll forgive me! 😁 @catherinenewman.bsky.social #BookSky #WritingCommunity #books #bookworm

❤️

Fun question...I think I still love secrets being revealed in seemingly "perfect" families, relationships, friendships, etc, then the MC's grappling with them. Any genre! #writing #writingcommunity #writingquestions

Loved this book. The warmth, the wit, the hope. Perfect for a dark winter's day. @alisonespach.bsky.social #writingcommunity #booksky

The Epstein Files Transparency Act is a law, passed by Congress on November 19 with an overwhelming vote. Complying with it was not optional. The Department of Justice did not comply. I want to make sure this is very clear.

Laughing before I cry.

Yes and yes! Upcycled is the way to go.

Probably lit fiction or social horror! Anything where I can cry and laugh between bookends...

Did not expect to love "One Battle After Another" but wow was it a gripping film. Also Leonardo DiCaprio is...funny?

The impossible task: comparison! I'd like to stop aligning myself along other peoples' trajectories (publishing by a certain age, etc). #WritingPrompt

Saw this majestic creature in the wild today. #redtailedhawk #birding #birds #birdsky #northamerica

Hmm...I guess any overcooked sentimentality. In book club reads, I don't enjoy being told how to feel or any often-used descriptions about feelings ("her heart ached," "his heart leapt," "their heart pounded," etc). Hearts can do so much more...:) #writintq #writingcommunity

My MC became a therapist b/c of her own positive experiences in therapy as a teen. Now that she's out of school and experiencing the profession from "the other side," she hopes it isn't a mistake.... #awesomecharacters #WriteSky #writingcommunity #writingprompts

Hey @cknightwrites.bsky.social ! I'd love to finish my current WiP (HorrorK and finish revising an earlier one (book club fic) to start querying. Chugging along with both... #Writingcommunity #WriteSky

First generation college student! My MC deals with tremendous pressure to succeed and make her family proud, as she was the first to graduate and pursue a professional career. Now that she's out in the real world, is she ready? 🙃 #AwesomeCharacters #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts

Mike Johnson closed the House down early to avoid a vote on extending ACA tax credits. Nice try, Mike—all that does is give us more time to rally up support. Let's get loud as hell, folks, and make sure every member of Congress knows where we stand: actionnetwork.org/letters/tell...

The crux of my WiP is about justice. A small town mayor is in jail for a crime that's bigger than the sum of its parts. Upright: he's prosecuted, and the town heals. Reversed: he slinks away from accountability (like a lot of slippery politicians). #DecktheHalls #WriteSky #WritingCommunity

Ooooo.. The MC of my WIP needs more confidence....she's a bright but inexperienced young professional suffering from imposter syndrome. Like all of us writers at some point...❤️ #WritingPrompt
