It's true: Editing a novel is like caring for a garden. Cut the weeds, let the flowers bloom. #AmEditing #WritingProcess

A writer's heart never stops beating. Even as I write fiction, my mind continues to combat unfairness and inequality. #socialjustice #WritingWithPurpose

Self-editing is a love-hate relationship. The process is painful, but the polished manuscript is worth every stroke of the red pen. #editing #writerslife

Time to take a trip down memory lane...I love how travel can quickly take unexpected turns while I'm on the road. At Shakespeare & Co. in Paris, I bought Hemingway's A Moveable Feast and read it in Les Deux Magots. What an amazing #writingjourney !

I wholeheartedly endorse this new trans memoir. Maeve DuVally’s book is about addiction and rejection, and coming to the place where she knew her true self. She went home on a Friday as Michael, and came back on Monday as Maeve. She is a heroine to me. #newreleasetuesday #LGBTQIA #Ally #books

Writing is a journey. Where it takes me is sometimes as much a surprise to me as it is to my readers. #WritingAdventures #AuthorLife #historicalfiction #orphantrain #whatsthestory

My main character Martha was shuttled from house to house, wishing for a safe home of her own. She didn't know that later, her children would end up following that same path. #historicalfiction #orphantrain

Word count of the day: 0. Time spent daydreaming about book launch: Endless. Welcome to the glamorous life of a writer. 'The Bereaved' hits the shelves on August 8! #writerlife #TheBereaved (I left a postcard in the waiting room.)

How do I handle writer's block ? Simple: I roll up my sleeves and get busy with something completely unrelated to writing--like renovating our 1880 Victorian house. #writerscommunity #renovation #grief #Victorian

Do you remember how much money we spent on shitty particle board computer desks, and how many times we had to upgrade our bulky desktop computers, and how often our spouse crashed the computer? The Nineties were made of Egghead Software and crying. To wit:

Perhaps I was a little ahead of SCOTUS in my prognostications. They are waiting to make a garbage decision, having merely delayed it a pinch. IOW, *wait and see*
