Want to make *real* progress on your novel this summer? Sign up for one of my classes to supercharge your draft with new skills, a community, and accountability. Fiction for Journalists and First Draft Boot Camp are both capped at 4 writers. We'll talk: 1/2 #WritingCommunity.

This is sick. And, not for nothing, didn't this guy's aunt create the Special Olympics? WHY CAN'T MEN GO TO THERAPY INSTEAD OF PLAYING THEIR FAMILY PSYCHODRAMA OUT ON THE WORLD STAGE?.
Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said people with autism “will never pay taxes, they'll never hold a job, they'll never play baseball, they'll never write a poem, they'll never go out on a date.” This is a skewed view of the autistic population, data and experts say.

The world is crumbling, but writers still write. And readers still read. If you're looking for a developmental editor to get your manuscript ready for an agent or publisher, I have openings. #writingcommunity #amwriting

Not the Onion.
The mainstream liberal media has painted Trump as an extremist, a 21st century George Wallace. He's actually a 21st century FDR: socially moderate, anti-war, and committed to America’s blue-collar workers as the backbone of this country and the locus of our power and democracy.

The attacks against trans people frighten and enrage me, so I'm honored to be part of this auction to raise $ for the Transgender Law Center. Bid to name a character in my next novel (set in my hometown of Fresno!) and 100s of other prizes from your fav crime writers. Link below

What I have now that I didn’t have then are: accountability (agent waiting!) and community. And I have the ability to *give those things to other writers.* So that’s what I do, through classes, coaching, and an online support group just for writers. If you need a hand, reach out!.

Fast-forward nearly two decades, and I like to imagine that girl posing in front of the St Louis Arch would be over the moon that she’s now writing her sixth novel. That she has solid contracts, rave reviews, and a strong, supportive network of fellow writers lifting her up. 3/4.

But is wasn’t easy. I spent 3 years writing and rewriting the first 100 pages. It took 7 years to get that book published - in part because I was so alone in the process. 2/4.

This is me in 2007 - the year I started writing what became my first published novel, INVISIBLE CITY. I’d already written one novel and couldn’t find an agent. But I refused to give up. Writing is how I make sense of the world. Writing is simply what I do. 1/4

I just wrapped up the third session of my online "Fiction for Journalists" class and I have to brag on my students: in 10 weeks, the four of them wrote more than 100,000 words on their novels-in-progress! Want to get in on the fun? I'm starting a new session soon - hit me up!.
