HUGE congrats to @laurenfsharma.bsky.social for her gripping, important novel, CASUALTIES OF TRUTH. I did not want to put it down, did not want it to end. I’m still thinking about Prudence. The writing and the story—just incredible. Get your copy friends!!! bookshop.org/p/books/casu...

My baby sends your baby solidarity and cat love, which means she will cat loaf / stare / growl at Boone from across the lawn

Hired a new #editor. Heard she’s pretty ruthless, which is just what I need to get that backstory out of the way. #writers #writingcommunity #cats #amwriting #memoir

Here we go again! (I have been trying to get this plant back to good health; making progress; hopefully true for the
#memoir too.) 🥴

Today my students read their flash #nonfiction & held it published in their hands & we ate pizza & I’m really proud of them. Grateful I get to help people tell their stories💜

Thx Liz Bellamy for the awesome flyer & idea to publish the students in the short story machine, & my student for the title!
