So this is evolving into an idea to write a collection or put together an anthology with Romeo and Juliet in every single genre because I'm obsessed and it's about re-incarnation and cycles and meeting your love in every lifetime even when sometimes he's a bear.

One of the interesting things I’ve learned as a writer is that the things I love to read aren’t always the things I love to write (or am even good at writing)

On a Hillside Overlooking Water
The world has never been quite this vivid in Jean’s memory. But today, cerulean skies swirl with cotton ball clouds over fields of technicolor wildflowers. Her fingers sweep through tall, verdant gras...

Have a story publishing tomorrow that embraces and grapples with an apocalypse in a way that I know is hard for many readers in the current climate. But honestly, idk how to handle those feelings of dread without bleeding them onto the page. Can’t bottle it up, the catharsis is in the expression

The real sign of inflation isn’t the home heating oil prices jumping (although I cried when I looked that up with the first wave of cold mornings this week) It’s the great clips haircut coupons being 14.99. The way I planned my kids haircuts around those 7.99 coupons for yearssss.

It’s been a week for two year old query rejections coming in. The only sad thing about it for me at this point is that I’m not done yet with the new book I started after realizing everything I learned querying that one. Slow progress is still progress right???

My favorite thing about the kindle/libby combo is the ability to go “shopping” for a new book at any hour whenever I finish the last one. Excited to dive into this “End of the world love story”

My goal when writing a short story is usually to hurt your feelings. Sorry not sorry. Problem is, to do this well, I hurt my own feelings first. So here I am crying as I type away in a coffee shop. Ahhh to be human.

And so, of course, this is also the time my neighbor has decided to mow his grass. Does it need to be mowed? No it’s probably shorter than my grass right now. But somehow he knew.

I think my favorite thing about the National Book Festival is that while yes, there is so much time spent waiting in lines, that so many people spend that time reading and it is really beautiful to see.

I have overlapping interests, which caused me a lot of confusion lately whenever I see DCC abbreviated to talk about Dungeon Crawler Carl and I forget that that’s a thing and I’m trying to figure out how the post pertains to the Dallas Cowboys cheerleaders. Very different vibes.
