Hello everybody.

Hi.

Welcome to Coming Out with Lauren and Nicole. We are a weekly podcast where we have on queer folks from all walks of life. They tell us the tales of how they came out to friends, family, and the world at large.

Because who doesn't love a coming out story? Today we are greased with the

presence of Amanda Dibert, television and comic book writer. Holy crap, you might know her from Twitter.

She is so good at Twitter and is admirable. I know you from Twitter. You always make me think

on Twitter where I'm like, ooh, because you put a question out there.

And I'm like, I like spend more time with your tweets than almost everybody.

I mean, thank you.

That's amazing.

I mean, the truth is that you've just discovered that, like, as a writer, I'm just a really good procrastinator.

So I spend all my time on Twitter because then it means that I'm not writing, which is helpful. Yeah. Oh, yeah. You know, in meeting my deadlines and keeping my life on all of us. You pull yourself, you're like, this is working. It's getting my creative juices. It's like, no, it's not. It's 100% procrastination.

I mean, I've embraced it as my process.

You know, it's like, I write a little bit.

And then I'm like, okay, now I'm in Twitter because I just got to, you know, I have to take a break and let this marinate my brain. So I'm just going to be on Twitter. And then now I've gone back and okay, like I've written a page.

This is fine.

I'll go back.

So like I just, I tell myself that it is my process and that it works for me.

I feel that. okay like I've written a page this is fine I'll go back so like I just I tell myself

that it is my process and that it works for me I feel that and tell my therapist that

because she has other ideas of how I use it oh well anyway no well anyway Amanda and I met

um somehow we I met somehow.
