#FridayReads : a delightful day for all involved! I’m sharing a short novella about trauma and grief and the terrible things we do when we give into the anger that springs from them: www.cemeterydance.com/YouCan'tSave...

In a world where cruelty is standardized by a third of the country, please step up for retail workers and food service folks. If you aren't comfortable saying HEY THAT'S NOT COOL to someone who's rude, you can talk to that worker's boss to tell them how great the worker did in the face of rudeness.

Two weeks ago (on Day 90), I made the hard decision to begin a rewrite mid-story b/c I’d written myself into a corner that I couldn’t mentally leap frog over. The first manuscript was 169 pages.
I just first page 52 of the rewrite. Am I catching up? Who cares? Fuckin WRITE.

Day 102 of #600x150.
Counting the original version of this novel with the rewritten sections, I’ve drafted 210 pages. This new version is at page 41.
I recorded just the sound of me typing for a minute; don’t know why, but I liked the machine-gun sound when I played it back.

Day 102
Some of the best writing advice I ever heard was from Joe Lansdale — Write like everyone is dead.
You live for you. Not them.
You write for you. Not them.
600 words every day started Aug 3 to Dec 31 for a novel draft by end of year.

Hey, I'm going to be honest, I've had some rotten luck these last couple months. About three different projects got cancelled, so, if you need covers, pages, posters, album art, and you like my style, please consider hiring me.

Agree.
Sen Hassan, asked what will happen if Republicans don't carry out the deal, "Well, shame on them."
This is not what people were mobilizing for on Oct 18.

Pray for me, gang, to live deliciously and pull this off. It’s rough on a teacher and solo dad.

I was laid off from Teen Vogue this week, alongside multiple other phenomenal team members.
At our Summit, I was asked how it felt to be 1 of 2 Black women left and what that meant for representation. Now, there are no Black women at Teen Vogue and that is incredibly painful to think about.
