Why We Need Diverse Books Is No Longer Using the Term OwnVoices I am just seeing this post. Hear! Hear! I have never been a fan of catch-all phrases that lump people who are from visible minority groups together. #booksky #writingcommunity diversebooks.org/why-we-need-...

🇨🇦 Connecting the Dots: What it means to Prorogue Parliament ⏸ My latest #LinkedIn post www.linkedin.com/posts/anneth...

Trudeau left office with dignity, grace and respect for democracy. He spoke calmly and coherently in both French and English. It might serve as an example to our southern neighbors that boorishness is not an essential element of politics.

I just did LinkedIn post about Prime Minister Justin Trudeau stepping down www.linkedin.com/posts/anneth...

My apology for the delay. I just got back from the holidays and saw your message. I have added you.

@smallpitch.org just announced that their next pitch event will be on January 27-28! The event will take place via submissions on their website smallpitch.org and is open to completed manuscripts from unagented and agented underrepresented authors seeking to be published with an indie press.

Riveting tribute to the firefighters, artisans? and artists who saved and restored Notre Dame de Paris #Paris #notredame youtu.be/nla_DldpjNk?...

Notre-Dame reopens! ♥️

Stuck in a scene? Do what the pros do: use brackets. Write what the story beat is: [Our hero gets out of the fight through clever means] Then just keep writing what happens after. Maintaining momentum is key to getting the most words on the page. Meanwhile solutions often present themselves later.

For future reference it’s WIPSnipsPit not WIPsSnipsPit Thanks for putting this together!
