I squealed when I saw the OG seasons of Law and Order on Hulu this morning. If my MMCs start to sound like Lenny Briscoe, we’ll just have to chalk it up to osmosis.

56 years ago today, Shirley Chisholm became the first Black woman sworn into Congress. I am one of 29 Black women serving in the 119th Congress and building on her legacy.

In the next four years, celebrating Shirley Chisholm’s life and work will be more important than ever.

Am I working on the work that I should be editing/finishing?
No.

Am I panicking about deadlines but not doing anything about it?
Yes.

Am I disassociating by outlining my 90s-movie-inspired novella under the guise of productivity?
Yep.

Am I commissioning artwork for said novella?
Yeppers.

Because I need some joy today -

✨Jo and Heath✨

These two. 🩷 They’re strong and independent but can be their best, most vulnerable selves with each other, even if they like to pretend they’re just friends.

I can’t wait for you to meet them!

I can’t decide if a character art reveal tomorrow is a good idea or not. I don’t want it to get lost in the sauce, but I figure it’s a good idea to combat hate with joy. 🤷🏻‍♀️

My stomach hurts.
Is it my usual level of anxiety?
Is it the fact that the world's a dumpster fire?
Is it some rare genetic disease?
Is it the fact that I subsist on iced coffee, diet coke, and carbonated water?
Only time will tell.

#romancelandia How do you decide how much of your WIP to share? I'm sitting here squealing at my laptop, but I'm still far from being ready to release.

Hi! I'm Lola Kate. I write contemporary romances with spice.

My books feature strong women, men who love strong women, and communities who take care of each other.
