If you used an allegory like this in a novel, the editor would tell you it was too much.

I am not a confident cook. It stresses me out. So when I tell you I just made this salad with absolutely zero recipe and 💯 whim and vibes - AND it is delicious?! Heck yeah.
An absolutely delicious and crispy summer salad made entirely of vibes, cucumber, feta, corn, and seasonings, is being held up in the glowing kitchen sunlight.

I had trouble falling asleep last night, my brain was bubbling with plot points and character details for my current project...so of course I went to the coffee shop for another writing session.

Every year, I continue the family tradition of making Estonian Easter Eggs. This year might just be my best attempt yet! My dad would have loved these. (The really dark one, and richly detailed one, probably would have been his favorite)

The Food = Delicious 😋 The Conversations + Company = Incredible 🥰 The Children = a gloriously gothic novel that isn't officially out until June, but is already a top read of mine for the year! 🐝 Thank you, Giselle, Melissa Albert, and co., for treating this girl to a much needed night out!
An advance reader copy of The Children by Melissa Albert is set next to a place setting with golden silverware and a delicious looking drink, as well as a perfectly tailored menu to match the book from the restaurant Gai Noi, in Minneapolis.

My project is starting to look properly novel shaped?!?! I even shared the plot with the writing group! (Which if you know me is a big deal) ☺️

Ending this operation is not enough. We need justice and accountability. That starts with independent investigations into the murders of Renee Good and Alex Pretti, economic restitution for businesses impacted, abolishing ICE, and the impeachment of Kristi Noem.
