Everything unravels eventually,
stone by stone,promise
after promise,but the beauty
is often in the adventure
of mending,of extending a hand,
stitching something new
out of the old mess,
scraps transformed
in brilliance,into beauty,
new magic
amid old spells,
an offering
without regret.

Not sure if this is still open or not, but if it is, well, I'd love it. Your tiny poems rock. Thanks.

Today was my day off after book-finishing, by which I mean I went to yoga, Costco, got an overdue oil change, and cleaned some spectacularly chaotic under-sink areas. Also, a nap. May have snuck a couple of xmas gift buys in there too. Now I am going to sit in a chair and reaaaad for a long while.

BREAKING: All House Democrats have signed our discharge petition to extend the ACA tax credits.
That makes 214.
We can protect health care and lower costs — if only 4 Republicans will join us.

Oh hey! I finalllly got to meet @juliepolk.com in real life — we had grits and good conversation with an old friend of hers and new friend of mine earlier. (Then I worked for lo several hours on final revision pass.) Yay long-time internet friends, a serious upside counter to much of what’s bad. ☀️

I have finished the new episodes of Stranger Things and gasped and talked back and clutched my heart and laughed and burst into cheers. Anyone who says this season is lacking maybe doesn’t get the show? I mean !!! They are leaving it all on the floor.

Soooo excited for this! 😍👏😍👏
My fifth novel is finished! As you can see, it still has no title. @gwenda.bsky.social and I have been describing it as What’s Eating Gilbert Grape meets Bonnie & Clyde. Heading to beta readers next. I have high hopes for this novel—I think you’re going to love it.

I don't want to jinx it, but it's weird to have a holiday with little to no anxiety about The Holiday Stuff and only about squeezing in time to work on the final spruce of this book. Feeling pretty damn thankful. (Mom is here and we watched Superman while I put out the living room xmas decorations.)
