You’ve heard of the Three Drink Theory: “one for hydration, one for energy, and one for fun.” But have you heard of the Multiple Notebooks for the Type-A Creative Theory

So I’ve been calling all 3 of my gov’t reps about one issue basically every weekday.
This morning a staff picked up and asked for my name. I gave it and he said go ahead with my comment. I asked “wait, you don’t need my address or zip code?” He replied “Oh we already have you on file here.”

I always like to have more data sources so my husband and I also pay for this very detailed weather app called OpenSnow. It has so much info: wind gust forecast, air quality estimates, and shows where the smoke will go over time too.

A free mobile app I used often before, during, and after wildfires is Air Visual to see when (and where) the air quality is safe to go outside on a walk for my mental health. It also has rough forecast for the next few days

This morning I woke up and went to go feed my cat without my glasses. I stepped in his vomit, and thankfully I was wearing slippers at least…very appropriate way to start 2025, honestly

Storytelling is one of my chosen forms of activism.
It is serendipity then that for the Tin House workshop, I was selected to be in a group led by an award-winning author who’s a fellow immigrant woman of color.
I cannot wait to learn from Natalia Sylvester and others soon 💖

Post-election, I was going through the stages of grief. Eventually I arrived at “What’s the point of writing a YA novel anymore?”
To remind myself that stories from people like me—a Taiwanese American 1.5th generation immigrant—are important to tell especially now, here are parts of my application

After finishing StoryStudio Chicago's excellent "YA Novel in a Year" program, I got accepted into Tin House's online winter workshop!
When I got the email, I was at a restaurant and started crying. It felt like the validation and confirmation I needed to keep going on this long writing journey.
