Too short, total mess, complete chaos, unreadable sentences? Yes!

Interesting characters, beginning-middle-end, fun moving parts, plenty to play with in rewrites? Also yes!

First draft? DEFINITELY YES!

And for that I love it. 📝❤️

How are we this late in the game and I still don't know how dressed up to get for a zoom meeting?

It's great to see a friend in their creative & professional element: another side of them, which you always know about but rarely get to see, comes out to play!

This week beloved pal Ryan Ruby read from & discussed his new book CONTEXT COLLAPSE. My heart is so full & I can't wait to read it!

Literary critic Ryan Ruby uncovers the secret history of poetry in a mock-academic verse essay filled with wit and wisdom. Prophet. Entertainer. Courtier. Criminal. Revolutionary. Critic. Scholar. No...

Today an old man looked at my name tag and asked me my birthday. I said, "Why do you ask?" He said, "I have two friends named Claudia and they were both born on January 3rd. Were you born on January 3rd?" I said, "No, I'm a Virgo." He shook his head and said, "Ah, well. That's nice for you though."

You guys, this new Sergio de la Pava book - EVERY ARC BENDS ITS RADIAN - is so good. The detective story is really exciting & the novel-of-ideas element is so lush!

Thank you, Carrie! I'm so happy you enjoyed it! ❤️‍🔥🐎
This might just be my favorite sapphic book of the year. Brilliantly written, fascinating characters, & a story that doesn’t let you go even after it’s over. If you haven’t given it a shot yet, please do! (Note: not a romance.)
So grateful to authors who recommend other authors books. My last “western” read was at least 25 years ago. @byrdwrites.bsky.social suggested this one. So why not? 🤷‍♀️ @claudiacravens.bsky.social sheds a whole new light on the Wild West and strings words together that are pure poetry. I loved it!

My Garbage First Draft is almost 40,000 words long! I can't wait to get to the end so that I can start making it good! #rewrite

When I'm roller skating, the only problems that exist are roller skating problems. I cannot tell you just how glorious that is. 🛼

I never know how to start anything. So here's a picture of me making soup (broccoli cheddar, thanks for asking) with the cat.
