Was looking forward to giving myself some downtime after finishing my latest novel revisions but now that it’s here I don’t know what to do with myself?? It’s only been two days and I’m already about to start scraping the barrels of old short story ideas just to keep my occupied

AWP was a blast, and I had the bonus experience of heading to New Orleans after for the Tennessee Williams Festival, where I read an excerpt from my winning story, “The Imposter”! A huge thank you to the festival coordinators and to Chin-Sun Lee for selecting the story. It was an honor!

Some days “I’m like maybe I don’t have ADD!” Then other days I make 4 separate purchases at CVS because I keep checking out and then remembering something else I was supposed to get, then get home and realized I forgot my keys, then even later discover my keys were in my pocket all along.

This is just my personal opinion, but I feel like the letter Q comes way too early in the alphabet. It just obviously belongs in the XYZ zone. There’s no valid reason for it to come before RST. Sure, it fits nicely in the song but in practice? Never felt right to me idk

Winter hats aren’t made to be liked. Winter hats are meant to be acquired as a gift or in desperation at a gift shop somewhere or as a teen and then kept forever, and every time you put it on you should go, “I hate this stupid fucking hat” but never get a new one. That’s what hats are all about

For our first Christmas married, Sam and I have started a tradition where anytime we’re in a store together in December, one of us can issue a “stocking stuffer challenge”: we split up and get a small gift of the same type (e.g., “snack under $5”) for our stockings. Very fun, highly recommend!

While putting laundry away, I heard a tiny meow. Start looking around for my cat. Finally, I open the drawer where I just put my pajamas away, and who do I find but my cat, poking her head out from between the clothes I’d just unknowingly piled in front of her secret burrowing spot
