MAY WE EACH HAVE THE LIFE THAT WE VOTED FOR 🇺🇸
Just back from a whirlwind week and a half in Ireland. Cant believe I’m back to work tomorrow; it seems surreal. Wish it had been more chill - next time I’ll travel alone. But I have tons of priceless memories and experiences that will last forever. #noregrets #ireland #travelireland

Flashing lights illuminate the scene as a photographer snaps pictures of the mangled corpse. Several yards away, a uniformed officer is vomiting on the sidewalk. An unmarked sedan pulls up, and a detective emerges. Staring down at the body, he slowly removes his sunglasses and whispers, “Found him.”

Officially in the query trenches. It’s a good thing life has well prepared me for rejection. Meanwhile, I outlined a new concept today.

Onward

Reluctantly & inadvertently joined the 5am club this morning. Got in some finishing touches on my WIP but I really hope this doesn’t become a trend. I value my sleep over everything.

The writing always takes longer than I had planned. There are these little things called rabbit holes…

I never fail to be surprised when I see that I’ve met goals that I set. Stuck in the weeds, all I see is the day to day, hard work yielding small, incremental gains. Until I step back and review and realize I did it.

Refining/fine tuning my villain. In this case, as important as the protagonist, but woefully lacking in depth and development. Not for long…

This is hard work

I’ve always needed silence to write. I squirrel myself away in my office and mute my phone. But sitting so much with my fragile mom, I’m learning to write amid the noise. TV keeps her company. I can either adjust or stop writing. Those are the options. #writing #writingcommunity

Anyway, it's amazing how MAGA voters have internalized a story about how elitist Democrats look down on them with contempt and then their own president and party moves to screw them over in every single way imaginable.

I guess Mencken was right. The people got what they wanted, good and hard.

We all took it for granted. Turns out, it was extremely fragile all along. Now it's gone. 😞 Democracy didnt die in darkness. It was brutally murdered and erased in bright daylight.

I feel numb!

Here’s a New York Times photo of the Chicago “No Kings” rally. NYT said the march that followed spanned at least 10 blocks.
