Hey, all. Julie Rehmeyer has made it easy to donate Blue Sky invite codes to folks in the disability community for whom Twitter was a crucial support. If you have extras you can drop them here: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

BlueSky Invites for the Chronic Illness Community

Please fill out this form if you're the chronic illness community and you'd like to either (1) donate invite codes or (2) request an invite.

In honor of me reading resumes (again): What's something you thought most people have/do easily, but have found is actually an uncommon skill you have? My biggest one is finding information. (TBH, it's just Google, but knowing you need to look & doing it effectively is a skill.)

My heart breaks a thousand times every day slate.com/technology/2...

Next one for #MixTAPESTuesday (it is still Tuesday in my time zone!) E: 3rd person limited, always. For this WIP, it's a single character's POV. A lot of what happens isn't necessarily real, and so I wanted to limit to just her experience of that.

#MixTAPESTuesday Welcome! We'll see if I can make this happen. Take all day to answer any and all the questions you like. We're starting out simple and basic. Give us expansive answers with one post per question or tauntingly brief answers all in one go, just use the hashtag so we can find them.

Going to do #MixTAPESTuesday for the new WIP!! Themes: The biggest ones are to do with isolation vs belonging and reality/truth (and whether something has to be real to be true).

Hi, I just finished drafting my 9th book. I still don't know how to explain what it's about, but it's cool, okay? It's a cool book. (Still have lots of work to do, obviously, with various revision ideas already forming, but I have a complete first draft!!!)

Kaiser NorCal has this too. It was super fast to do a walk in. The one I went to though was only open weekday 8am-4pm, so people who don't have flexible work schedules are out of luck there.

Sleep? Never met her. ("I'll go to bed soon," I told myself. "I'll just write for 10 more minutes and then stop," I told myself. All lies and now it's 2am...)

Adulthood is just spending all week telling yourself you’ll clean this weekend and then when the weekend arrives, being too tired from the week to clean.

I always feel like if I notice the tense after the first chapter or so, the writer isn't engaging me in the story & that's a whole separate problem. (I've had books where I'm halfway thru or more before I realize it's been in present tense the whole time. THAT is a good book.)
