In America you drop your kid off at school, get your brains blown out on the ride home, then the Vice President drops everything for a week to call you a terrorist, to slander your family, to protect the circumstances that led to your death so they can do it again. It is government by Alex Jones.

@bryndonovan.bsky.social sent back developmental edits for my debut and words cannot express how excited I am. Unfortunately, actually getting to read through the edits and notes will have to wait until after I am off the clock at work. Stupid day job getting in the way.

Multiple scientific studies have shown this, in fact: your brain is basically the same on audiobooks and printed books.

Despite conflicting opinions, evidence shows that listening to audiobooks has similar cognitive benefits to reading books.

One of the stereotypes about childfree women is that they treat their dogs like their kids.
And my boys Pippin and Bingley think there's wrong with that.

I had so many follow-up messages from book editing clients at the beginning of this week! Everyone was back in the office and working on their novel again. 😂

I just realized that my blog set a new record on New Year’s Eve. Over 18,000 people stopped by that day to get New Year inspiration! I love this because I LOVE New Year’s SO MUCH, and it shows! (I’m also really good at SEO. 😊)
I’ll link to the two hot posts below.

Sometimes I have the urge to write about working in a humor writing studio with a bunch of twentysomething and thirtysomething smartasses at a greeting card company in the 1990s. Nobody would want to read about it. But God those were good times. 🩵

I'm loving the Taylor Swift docuseries. As an author, I'm inspired by how excited she gets about creating an amazing experience for her audience--always wanting to surprise them, to give them something extra! How can I do that with writing?

From maybe 2010 to 2015 (????) I was part of an private online group of random feminists who had been commenters on Jezebel.com. Many of us would spend 1 - 2 hours (more??) every night chatting, like a never-ending sleepover.

May I suggest that, as with all 'users' of genAI and its ilk, if you just don't wannaaaaaaa do the work you're being asked to do, go do something else! The world will not stop spinning! You have infinite choices in what to do with your time! And if you find you are useless at everything: oh well!
