BEHOLD! My very first payout for being a professional novelist.
🤣🤣🤣
Seriously, though, this means the world to me. (It's so small because the publisher pays 90 days after purchase, and 90 days ago I soft-launched and only sold a couple of books.)

Yesterday, a young man was tailgating my daughter on her way home from work. He passed her, andflipped her off, so she flipped him off, at which point he stopped in front of her and began to back into her. He got out of his car and started throwing things at her. Dude was early 20s, wearing camo.

Guys. I did it. I made one of those ink swatch videos. I've been trying to find the perfect gray ink for my fountain pen to use in my Hobonichi. And since I'm addicted to watching ink swatch videos, I decided to do all the ones I had. #InkSky

I bought my very first shimmer ink, and it immediately clogged my fountain pen. 😭 It was a perfect color pairing, too. I don't suppose there's anything I can do about it?
This is the ink. It's gorgeous, but I'm glad I only got a sample.

Y'all. I'm going to make an ink swatch video for my YouTube channel. Will you watch it?!
I'm obsessed with these pen-and-ink videos and watch them every night, so I thought I'd make one for fun.

I am going to need someone to do a point-by-point summary of these Epstein files. Which (if any) journalists are covering this story the best?

I’m not an English Lit girlie but imma go see Wuthering Heights for the simple reason that I could really stand to be distracted by two insanely hot people burning with desire for one another for a couple of hours.

I’m not gonna listen to a *single* word against Lupita Nyongo, a woman whose physical appearance is as close to perfection as I can possibly imagine, but ESPECIALLY not if it’s coming from some pale, flabby, smush-faced jackass with a botched dick job.
The audacity.
