As a horror author, you know what I find truly terrifying? The medical and pharmacy conglomerates in America. Every interaction when trying to get a diagnosis or even a prescription is an utter nightmare.

Just tried to leave a professional voicemail for work and stumbled over my words about 3 times. (Gimme a break, it's a Monday!) Hung up and realized this time next year I may be giving public readings of my novel. If I can't leave a voicemail how will I manage that! 😱

I'm not allowed to have caffeine today because of a doctor's appointment. But what's the point if I can't survive without it? If I die from a lack of caffeine, it will all have been for nothing.

I do not understand telling creatives to "shut up about politics."
One, this is life in this world. You can acknowledge being part of it, or you can pretend you're immune until you find out you're wrong.
Two, there are plenty of creatives doing the latter. If you don't like us, follow them 🤷♀️

Seeing all these #StokerCon prep posts makes me extra bummed I can't go. I'll be doing the virtual attendance but it's just not the same. Next year!
In the meantime, everyone have a blast!

Tried going through my photos for a potential author photo. Discovered I have about 3000 photos of my dogs for every one of myself. Priorities.

Okay. Time to get to work. Print Run will now be doing a Query Critique Drive. 100% of the money received will be going to an org or fund that directly helps trans kids. Here are the rules:
Donald Trump has just released a national under 18 trans care ban executive order. I am working through specifically how it tries to do this, and will live tweet here section by section as I read through it.
It is not yet on the website, but has been released via press release.

What I have to say to people who ask why I am still on these apps: They want to silent dissent. They want their voices and beliefs to be the loudest. If I voluntarily leave these apps then I am ceding my loudest platform & I am done retreating. Holding the line here. Joyfully.
