- @wipsnips.bsky.social I didn’t know then, in the way that I didn’t know anything related to social norms, that approaching your advisor with the faux confidence of an ingenue was odd. From Girl Dragon, An Autistic Memoir #amwriting #amquerying #memoir #writing #autism
- I found a speculative non-fiction essay from years ago that, if I didn’t know myself better, I would have assumed I wrote while high on acid. It disturbs me, which I think means I should do something with it. When I get the courage to read it again.

- Reposted by SharonMCabanaAfter being held in two of them as a boy, I fought for decades urging America to never again build concentration camps and put human beings in them. It breaks my heart to watch this happen twice now in my own lifetime.
- Reposted by SharonMCabanaThe killing of Alex Pretti is a heartbreaking tragedy. It should also be a wake-up call to every American, regardless of party, that many of our core values as a nation are increasingly under assault.
- Like a good patient, the red shoes sat quietly, hardly twitching, as she began removing the bones and dried sinew from the leather. She wrinkled her nose as she pulled up a desiccated metatarsal. “Definitely a dancer,” Sin said. #wipsnips #amwriting #shortstory From “Second Chance Dance”
- @wipsnips.bsky.social “I’m a biologist.” Moira Jean laughed a little, remembered that biologist was what Becky had wanted to be before she became a hospitality manager. The first tears trickled down her face. “I’m so sorry to have disturbed you,” Moira said. “My mistake.” The Selkie’s Heart ❤️

- I just filled a bookshelf that holds 300 books and I have two more bookshelves to move over and a stack of TBR books. There are clearly too many books in my one bedroom condo. Know what this means? I need to buy a bigger house. #booklover #reader #writer #bookworm #books
- I’m heartsick over the last two days with federal eyes once again landing on my home city after a second straight day of shootings by ICE thugs following a weekend of international law violations and threats against a sovereign nation. I made the mistake, multiple times in fact, of reading comments.

- First rejection of 2026 in the books. Know what that means? Time for more queries. Someone out there wants a romance about a selkie in a cursed Irish village town, a memoir about an autistic kiddo who sees themself as a dragon, or an epic queer fantasy. Could it be you? #amwriting #querying
- @wipsnips.bsky.social Moira Jean watched in stupefaction as the banshee pulled out a chair, as calm as you please, and waited, as if she was expecting Moira to serve her something. From “The Selkie’s Heart” #querying #romance #magicalrealism #writing

- I don’t know who needs to hear this today, but given the condition of my clients this past week, here’s a gentle reminder that the world is hard and scary right now and it’s okay to not be okay. Tbh, I’d be more worried if you were okay. Just remember, you are not alone. #therapy #mentalhealth
- A message written by a literary vandal, spotted on a rest stop stall on the way to the Redwoods. It says, “Actually, it was only the pretty good Gatsby.” #literature #writing
- @wipsnips.bsky.social “Three pairs of eyes turned in Boy’s direction. A sense of foreboding crept up his neck. He felt his face flush with panic. He wasn’t sure where they were going to send him, but he was damn sure he didn’t want to go there. At all.” The Golden Strand #wip #writing #fantasy

- @wipsnips.bsky.social “Take care of Little Sister,” said the Other, a note of warning in her voice. “He will not harm her. He will not have time.” The Troll Queen bent and picked up the limp frame of the girl. Her voice turned hard. “I would kill him if he did.” Child of Snow, #query #wipsnips
- @wipsnips.bsky.social “When the perpetrator threatens suicide, which happens far more often than I like to think about, this further ensures that the victim will stay behind. It’s the ultimate in emotional manipulation and shockingly, astoundingly, effective.” From Girl Dragon, a memoir #querying
