Late in the day....Running "mommy camp" for the kiddos means that the #1000wordsofsummer were about 1,000 words of fast and shallow revision in the backyard. One kid's at a play date. The other at practice. Dog is chewing a stick. I'll take it.

#1000wordsofsummer Mostly feeling for L.A. Very distracted. Instead of new words, worked on revising last week's words about Anita's first Broadway play.
Also: Anita would hate what is happening in her beloved L.A. She abhorred violence and opposed anything she perceived as government overreach.

the funniest thing about the “ice agents are human beings with families” line is that there is no evidence to support the claim. oh they’re real people? what are their names? as far as I’m concerned they’re the T-1000 until proven otherwise

I took yesterday off from #1,000wordsofsummer because it was Clementine's kindergarten graduation.
Today, I was back at it. I hired @carolinemalloyphd.bsky.social for a retreat/accountability day and revised 5,500 words of the book's first chapter. Moved from sh*tty first draft to first draft!
