Been meaning to tell you, @moonmoonmother, our toddler is a moonchild. She only has a dozen words, but 'moon' is one. And she asks to see it every night. It's been so overcast in 2020 she's been very frustrated. She loved this full moon last week. I thought of you 💙🌕

Neil Peart from @rushtheband wrote so many lyrics that have been important to my life and family, and how we think about the world. I wrote this poem in tribute using only the band's lyrics. I hope Neil would have liked it. 🖤 @Lonesome_Noise, hope this resonates.

Sending love to Geddy Lee, Alex Lifeson, and all fans of @rushtheband today. Goodbye, Neil Peart ❤

Thrilled to have my poem 'Mr. One-Liner' in the Love-themed Shishir (Winter) 2019 issue of @active_muse. I wrote this for my wife on our 5th anniversary using 1 line from each song on our wedding album. Enjoy! activemuse.org/2019_Shishir_…

Thread:
"it's just FICTION, it isn't harming anyone!" so I guess we're still having this discussion in the year of our lord mmxix, huh? I guess I'm no longer an *erstwhile* english teacher for the duration of this thread, because some of y'all clearly skipped a few classes too many.

#WritingCommunity, I have imposter syndrome & keep thinking this is a dream. I never, EVER thought I was good enough to be a @PushcartPrize nominee. So just for today, forgive me if I brag a little. NOT for my ego or arrogance, but just to remind myself that this is indeed real.

So I'm still confused about The Pushcart Prize numbering. 😅 But these are the writers from 2019 we chose to nominate. Thank you to all for trusting us with your work! 🐘❤
We've been slow announcing this, but we nominated @happymil_, Annie Bien, @coffeeandpaneer, @SophieKearing, @Neelt2001, and @19poems for this year's @PushcartPrize. Follow the link to see their pieces. Thank you all for trusting us with your work! 🐘❤ elephantsnever.com/the-pushc…

Quick Editor's note: We ended up with more prose, as Best of the Net allows for more poetry. And we try to nominate as much good work as we can. So no overlap with award noms. Any other questions or concerns, email or use contact us and I'll respond. ❤

Want to tell you, @aptshadow, I just started 'Spiderlight' and am enthralled. I picked up your book because @garethlpowell spoke so highly of you in 'Fleet of Knives.' He's right, you're amazing. I hope all will be resolved and see you home & healed soon!
Still in hospital btw, and for at least another 2 days.
I recommend everyone zip over to @nocturnalxlight's timeline and read her amazing "controversial fairy tale opinions." They are wonderful and truly helping me deal with today! 💙
Was it really wrong of The Sorcerer’s Apprentice to try? Dorothy wanted to go home from Oz way too quickly. I prefer the justice system of Brother Bear where you get turned into a bear/have to walk in your enemy’s shoes for rehabilitation.
