Such a great morning! Sat on a panel on mentoring for the @gcls-wa.bsky.social - worked all morning on my edits on ARTHUR UNDRESSED for my agent @staceykondla.bsky.social then took a walk in the sun to the library for two Canadian books! Going to work a few more hours, then read all day.

Now is the time to follow your dream of writing that queer novel. GCLS WA was the best investment I ever made in myself as a writer. Not only in terms of education but also in terms of community.

It’s time for an episode of: Maya is a Lying Liar
Liz: Maya told me why you “really” didn’t want to wake up this morning.
Me: She did? Do tell. Why didn’t I want to wake up this morning?
Liz: She said it was because you were out until 4am.
Me: [eyes wide, eyebrows raised] I was?

Me: A stripper party at the cop shop? Why was I there?
Liz: Because you’re the one who trained them all!
Me: So it was a graduation party??
Liz: No, it was just a stripper party at the cop shop.
Me: Maya is a lying liar. I’m not a trainer.
