Inspired by last night’s Olympics pairs skating, I wondered what this story generator would do with pears—the fruit—and skating (my 2010 novel Delta Girls is set in both a pear orchard and the world of pairs skating) and it served up this creepy little story (no 🍐in sight…) https://t.co/EzymWNh6Cp

@thesusanito @janlikezhan Thank you so much, dear Susan! And yes, I love The End of Eve so much. Daughter of the Queen of Sheba by @jackilyden was really important to me, too. Amy Tan touches upon her complicated mom in The Opposite of Fate. So many more!

@ambernoelle So many collections that have rocked my world have been mentioned here already, but (unless I missed it) I haven't seen Sarah Minor's Bright Archive noted yet--it broke open new possibilities for me re the essay as a visual form. https://t.co/6BOE8NezIY

@romanolax This isn't a novel, but Sarah Manguso has talked about how she wrote 300 Arguments when she was procrastinating writing her novel Very Cold People (which comes out in February) :) https://t.co/nuda2JQm2a

Pity the Bathtub Its Forced Embrace of the Human Form by Matthea Harvey--the title pops into my head just about every time I take a bath and makes me want to ask the tub for its consent. https://t.co/Tm5njBqKNd

I loved having this conversation with my friend and former student @LaSeletzky, who started writing her powerful book The Kneeling Man when she audited my CNF class at what was then Sierra Nevada College. It's a must-read. Thank you for hosting us, @brownbaglit--such a joy! 💖 https://t.co/8rxWiqVgLS

I wore a wrap blouse for my 1st author event ever (for my craft book, Fruitflesh: Seeds of Inspiration for Women Who Write.) I felt air on my belly as I read & realized my shirt was wide open. I blurted "I'm sharing more of my fruitflesh than I intended!" & quickly tied it up. 😘 https://twitter.com/KelliAgodon/status/1504864827553968130
