It’s December. Time to break out my favorite holiday shirt. May have to wear it every day for the next 4.5 years.

Hard to believe I was at the Hollywood Bowl listening to my boyfriend Marcus Mumford sing these words to Joni just over a month ago. Now feels like it was the calm before the storm.

Every time I get together with writerly friends, we end up playing some version of “You liked this? Have you read that?” Here’s a quick collage of our recs from dinner last night. Now you go…what would you recommend?

I haven't had a lot of words to say this past week. But I deactivated my Twitter account. I re-upped my ACLU donations. I made an effort to reach out to friends outside of social media. And I saw this on my walk yesterday. That's all I've got right now, friends. Be well.

Just finished Yellowface in one frantic binge. Such an excellent critique of publishing, with both nuance and thriller-like pacing, especially at the end. I don’t usually go in for unlikable protagonists, but this one was chillingly plausible.

I stole my kiddo’s fox ears to wear to our monthly writer gathering (yes, in public) and have been informed that I am causing said kiddo “second hand embarrassment.” Well, at least I’m not cringe 🤣

Sunday I taught my "Five Beat Outline" #NaNoWriMo prep course at the local library and a 13yo writer showed up. She asked great questions throughout and stayed after for the write-in. I sent her home with a book (OF COURSE) and she was thrilled. I hope I'll see her books on the shelf someday 💜

Fruit gardening is a lot like writing, actually. This is the first lemon I harvested from a tree I got (therapy fruit? emotional support tree?) during the pandemic. I killed two previous lemon trees (one by leaving it outside for the winter, one by leaving it in), but finally succeeded 3yrs later.

There is definitely not a trap door to the underworld in the garage of our rental house for retreat. But I parked on it to hold the demons in just in case.
