I was supposed to be finishing Chains of the Sciell over the weekend. Instead, I opened Twitter and saw #VeryRealisticYA was trending. The hashtag was created by a teen writer.
And this is why you disconnect from the internet when you need to write. Obviously, I had to check out the hashtag. Couldn’t pull myself away. Had to stay up late to make up for the time I spent laughing at the awesome tweets. Had more fun coming up with my own tweets.

Had to learn how to feature tweets in a post. I was doing screenshots until I read other articles about this hashtag and realized their tweets looked different from mine. That’s when I remembered the embed tweet option.
#VeryRealisticYA is still trending where I am!
