Cut the mold off the cheese and ate it anyways. My kids looked at me horrified, and obviously I didn’t raise them in enough poverty to understand this is completely normal.

I got a poetry acceptance yesterday! After receiving so many rejections on all kinds of projects big & small this year. I actually got a rejection yesterday & today too 😂. The slog is for real. So many days I feel like giving up. Down so many points at the halftime of my writing life.

One good thing about being consumed w/ work & doctors appts lately is that I haven’t been able keep up w/ all the news, except when leaving the house & turning on the TV for my dog to watch the Chicago news (always the first channel that pops up). So I know a little bit of what’s going there. 😝

Aww, what a sweeties. Brindles are my favorite. So glad you can do this. If my dog wasn’t so old now, and if I wasn’t in an apartment, I’d start fostering ASAP. 🤍🤍

The number of people, including your friends, who believe writers from marginalized communities manage to publish books *because* they represent a marginalized community is truly astonishing.

Watched the Euphoria premier last night & it’s a perfect example of inserting humor / levity to balance tone when the subject matter gets exceptionally dark.

the dialogue is so bomb. The book does such great character work and is a wonderful lesson in raising stakes/keeping tension brewing.
