Happy Caturday! This photo is automatically fantastic because it has two of my FAVORITE things: cats and books ๐Ÿˆ๐Ÿ“– Let's take today to cuddle up and get lost in the page. Most importantly -- keep tagging me in these photos! (PC: @astralpages)โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ € #Caturday #Cats #Bookstagram #IHLMW #IHaveLostMyWay #CatsAndBooks #MyVibe #SaturdayFeelings #Cozy

My @skillshare class "Finding Your Story" is LIVE. Here is what some students are saying:โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ € โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ € "I can't thank you enough for all the examples and for going through the exercises with us."โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ € &โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ € "(Gayle) so simply explained things that seemed complicated before."โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ € โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ € Join us in figuring out why I think storytelling is like a Reese's cup (and how to apply all that sweetness to your own story)!

"BECAUSE I believe with my wholeheartmindbody that girls constitute a revolutionary soul force that can, and will change the world for real."โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ € โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ € For the better part of the last few decades, I have been majorly inspired by the #RiotGrrrl movement both as a woman and as a writer. For those unfamiliar, it was a female driven punk movement in the early 1990's that threw a fist in the air (and, sure, maybe a middle finger or two) to make space for women in art, music, and LIFE. This was the original statement put in the Riot Grrrl zine (DC chapter) in 1992. โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ € โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ € Kathleen Hanna, lead singer/songwriter of notorious Riot Grrrl band @bikinikillrecords, has inspired names of several of my characters through the years. Kat in IF I STAY anyone? And Corin Tucker, of @sleater_kinney was once in a band called Heavens to Betsy and their song "Firefly" remains one of my favorites and is pivotal in I WAS HERE. โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ € โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ € So I'm psyched that tonight for my birthdayโ€”see how I slipped that inโ€” I get to take my two badass, feminist daughters and my feminist husband to see Bikini Kill. I get older. They get older. The revolution continues....โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ € โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ € "Because every time we pick up a pen, or an instrument, or get anything done, we are creating the revolution. We ARE the revolution."โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ € โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ € โ€”โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ € โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ € #HappyBirthdayToMe #RiotGrrrlMovement #Punk #BikiniKill #FutureisFemale #Persist #Feminist #Feminism #MeToo #TimesUp #BelieveWomen #EmpoweringWomen #EffYourBeautyStandards
