    If Jim Jordan becomes Speaker ... I can&amp;#39;t even. Somebody tell me he can&amp;#39;t possibly be worse than the last guy.

    A super &amp;quot;Science Behind the Fiction&amp;quot; event at #PortobelloBookFestival with #DougJohnstone (THE SPACE BETWEEN US) and myself talking about FRIEND ME. We chatted about writing sci-fi proudly, how other writing like journalism affects our fiction, and the joys &amp;amp; terrors of Enceladus and AI. Thrilled to hear the sequel to Doug&amp;#39;s book is out next march. Sci-fi forever! #kidlit #scifi #sff #SheilaMAverbuch #MiddleGradeBooks #edinburgh #writingcommunity @bookstodon...

    Just putting a CW in case you don&amp;#39;t want to be involuntarily exposed to my musings. I worked for a long time as an actor and the hardest thing was being deep into a long run and trying to bring the energy every night. It demanded finding something new and leaning into that with my whole self. That&amp;#39;s what revising this manuscript feels like - another deep rewrite. But I believe in this story. If I could do long runs at 21, I can do this at 53. #writingcommunity
