Never underestimate what a day of touching random things at a TJ Maxx can do for your mental health.

My writing has been on hiatus due to grief, but I submitted a short story to a lit mag today. Baby steps. Hope in despair. ❤️

I've been eating clean for three days and I'm deeply offended that I haven't experienced a profound physical transformation yet.

I’m watching a monarch butterfly enjoy my zinnias. There’s certainly a more poetic way to say this, but my brain is melted from work, so just… If you want butterflies, plant flowers.

We have checked out 103 books at the library since the boys were born. Pretty proud of my little bookworms.

Got small-talked by a ghost-of-high-school's-past at the library. As if that wasn't horrific enough, he sneered like a cartoon bully, “Weren’t you supposed to be a writer? You got any books in here?” Sir, please don't make this my villain origin story.

Finding out that a publisher that rejected me sold to another publisher that promptly shut down. 😓 www.youtube.com/watch?v=2dto...

Assigned "The Lottery" to my students so that I can do my part in passing on generational trauma.

My husband just got a neck spasm mid-head bang in the car. This is aging.

Always sad to cut the last watermelon of the season, even though I know it will be replaced by pumpkins.

In December 2020, my friend asked me to write a coronavirus-themed Christmas play for her students. I had blocked it out of my memory, but please enjoy these screenshots that I found lingering in my Google Drive. (Hey @hallmarkchannel.bsky.social, hire me!)

Is it gauche that I’m using ground wagyu to make enchiritos?

Inheriting the family estate is a monkey’s paw of a dream come true; Jane finds herself trapped by a generational curse in a tiny Southern town that has been hidden from the world since the Civil War. No one who enters may leave—even after death. #Q #A #F #PR #MR #LF #questpit

There's something in the water in Vesper, AR, and Waverly is determined not to drown. Not again, anyway. Keeping her bearings proves challenging as she tackles a quarter-life crisis, unexpected romance, and the end of the world. No pressure. #Q #A #F #UF #CF #RF #questpit

100% of my class did not read Fahrenheit 451 to prepare for today's discussion. Ironic that we were covering the big monologue about how people just stopped reading before the government bothered banning books.

Upcoming in May this year from @solarisbooks.bsky.social, Norse fantasy Snowblooded by Emma Sterner-Radley is "an exceptionally well written, and refreshingly unique offering to the fantasy market." #BFSReview britishfantasysociety.org/review/snowb...

The cover of Snowblooded shows the title surrounded by a selection of images of leaves, snowflakes, and simple fantasy scenes

Somebody yelled at me for posting about Ganymede instead of /the state of things/ last night. I know we’re (almost) all on the same page here, but a Bluesky without cute cats, science facts, and dumb jokes would be bad for everyone.
