I'm supposed to be at Sweet Briar College, where I was so excited to meet with the amazing students, faculty, and staff who organized my visit & made Mobility their Common Read. Hours before my flight I learned about their Board's exclusion of trans & nonbinary people. So now I'm not going.

The tough thing about the job of parenting is the lack of commute. One second I’m dead asleep, the next second I’m playing firemen and I need to put out the fire, no over there, no YOU’RE DOING IT WRONG

This is how you become a writer: just pick one of the things that is deeply wrong with you. Make it a character. Now send it on a self-help journey or try to kill it. Now call it a book.
