My 2nd and last comment about this election. In 2017, lots of women in Kansas were working every day to protect the Affordable Care Act. (Some were wealthy—I went to their fancy houses for meetings. 🤣) They organized rallies, protests, town halls...

One of them was Laura Robeson, an awesome person and the mother of a son with many medical needs. She worked so hard and gave eloquent public speeches. tinyurl.com/2kpbuzx9
The ad hoc group made scrapbooks of what the Affordable Care Act meant to their families and brought them to the Republican senator's office. When he held town halls in small towns, they traveled there to speak up about ACA. tinyurl.com/4apnyx7a
They were mostly polite, and relentless.
And when the Congress was all set to vote for an awful "health care" bill to replace ACA, the senator from Kansas was one of two Republicans who broke ranks. ACA remained the law. tinyurl.com/yef987wm
Having just signed up for ACA this month, I'm grateful. But my point is: don't denigrate red states. Lots of people in red states work very hard for change.
And if you're in a red state, don't underestimate your ability to have a voice. ✨

PS: Health care should unite all Americans. There are some services we all need—like highways, for example. Health care for our families is one of them. Being afraid to call 911 because it's expensive isn't pro-life. Being bankrupted by hospital bills isn't freedom.

I think romance novel tropes are tropes because of the inherent fantasy or wish fulfillment in them. Here are my guesses about the wish fulfillment in various tropes, but I'm hoping to hear other people's thoughts!

Small Town Romance - the fantasy of a big emotional support network. (The secret sauce in Hallmark movies, though when I worked at Hallmark Channel I NEVER heard anyone say this.) Your BFF wants you to be happy. So does your mom. So do ALL YOUR NEIGHBORS!
#CountdownToChristmas
Small Town Romance is also just a validation for people who live in small towns and rural areas that are often overlooked or derided ("backwater," "flyover country," etc.).

⭐ HOW TO PITCH A STORY ⭐
Hey, brilliant writers! I shared this in a couple of virtual events last week. This is how I pitch a story to producers, and you can use it to pitch to agents or editors, too.
#WritingCommunity #screenwriting #MondayMotivation #WritersofTwitter
Remember, the person you're pitching your story to may have to pitch it to someone else! A literary agent will pitch it to editors. A book editor may pitch it to execs or sales reps. A producer may pitch it to investors. So keep it simple!

#HowToPitch #amwriting #writinglife
1. Unless time is a real constraint, take just a minute for small talk before launching into your pitch. Establish some rapport.
