Vending at events as an author is time consuming and can be stressful, even uncomfortable at times. Here are some tips and tricks to make things easier on you. Part one of this mini series focuses on ways to make things easier in terms of prep/packing. #authorsky #indieauthor

No one should ever have to endure people behaving like this, but when you own your own business, you have a lot more freedom to loudly and firmly set boundaries. #booksky #authorsky

Thanks for hosting @ecrwseattle.bsky.social! I had a great time at the retreat. I got so much writing done and had a lot of breakthroughs. If you ever get a chance to attend a writers' retreat, I highly recommend it! #authorsky #writersky

If someone holds beliefs that go against my morals, I don't need their support. 🤷🏻‍♀️ So no, I don't care about my views affecting my "reputation." Books are political. Reading and writing are political. To be silent now (or in support of the current regime here) is to be on the wrong side of history.

What's something you thought would be cool as a kid that turned out not to be? I DID get to use Daffy Duck return address labels on my graduation announcements, so I got to live out part of this incredibly mundane fantasy. I still don't understand why so many adults lack whimsy. #questionoftheday

Do you prefer long or short book reviews? Both are honestly great and I appreciate and respect people who write any length of review. #booksky

I don't know why people adapt books and make the story WORSE. If the story is good and well loved, KEEP THE MAIN PARTS. Why adapt a book but change everything? It's maddening. #booksky

It can feel overwhelming trying to keep up with all the bookish drama, hot takes, and general discourse. You don't have to and you don't have to post about it either. Just do what works for you and live your best bookish life! #booksky #authorsky

What was the most life changing book you've ever read? Mine led me to a self discovery. #booksky #authorsky #bookishquestions #asexuality

Having a pen name as an author is wonderful. It protects your real identity and makes a space between you and your books (which is good if you ever end up with any unhinged fans/haters). #authorsky #booksky #indieauthor

California Gov Gavin Newsom: So, we have to be, dare I say it, & I’m sorry, Democrats, that we have to be as ruthless as our opposition. We do. We have to win. It’s all on the line. I’m done winning arguments with all due respect to the niceties. It feels good, but we’re going to lose our republic.

There’s a reason Trump had his primetime meltdown. Polls have Trump’s approval at a second-term low of 36%, his approval among independents in the 20s, and his support among Republicans falling. This is the fear response of a politically weak, lame-duck president as his movement begins to unravel.

Of all the horrors inflicted by Russia’s war, the abduction of Ukrainian children is one of its worst. Stealing children is a calculated Russian attack on Ukraine’s future. Bringing them home is a priority. We support this with funding, aid and sanctions.
