I #amdrafting a new book! And I'm in that stage where I'm GLAD no one picked up my other books because it's a departure from my norm and that's fun. Anyway, summer camp reunion + curses + murder. 9k words in.

Saved this little baby from being a breakfast for crows this morning so now I'm just watching him through a window hoping his mama comes back for him 😭

Hello, #BluePitHype!

I'm a women's fiction author querying my latest manuscript where High Fidelity and Mean Girls make sweet love and come out with a funny, music-obsessed ode to female friendship.

This is my fourth manuscript and I've been writing seriously for about eight years. Why? IDFK.
Welcome to the first day of #BluePitHype!

It's only 5 days to #BluePit on July 13th! So, join us for our Q&A.

Today is Introduction Day! Tell us who you are! Make some new friends!

We can't wait to meet you and your stories!

I just received a response from the agent I submitted an R&R to...two years ago...asking if the manuscript was still available.

I said yes, and also pitched the whole-ass book I've written, revised, and rewrote again in the time it took her to respond.

I really am grateful but JFC this industry...

The Beach Boys were a mainstay of my childhood. My first album was their #1 hits. In college, we spent a week dissecting Pet Sounds in my History of Rock and Roll class. I walked down the aisle to "God Only Knows."

What a loss, but at least it's a good reason to revisit some of my favorites.
Brian Wilson, singer-songwriter who created the Beach Boys, dies at 82
His early hits — “Surfer Girl,” “I Get Around,” “All Summer Long,” “Help Me, Rhonda” and “California Girls” — evoked a fantasy world of fast cars, beautiful youth, eternal surf and sunshine on an imm...

I revised the rewrite! Now a readthrough and we should be ready to relaunch the #amquerying ship.

Now to reVISE the reWRITE that was originally supposed to just be a six-week reVISION but here we are five months later.

Y'ALL I AM ALMOST DONE WITH MY REWRITE #amrevising

2 #agents on v1 of the MS: "The book is good, the writing is excellent, the relationships authentic, the premise is super smart, but I don't know how to position it in the market."

Ow, my pride. Can't help but think that v2 is DOA. #amquerying

I keep taking these breaks from my revision and I keep coming back surprised that I haven't progressed further on said breaks. Will I ever finish? Honestly TBD.

On Wednesdays, I get the pleasure of wading through education news from the eight states in our regional association and I think this might be the grimmest week since the fascist Cheeto took office.

Waiting for two semi-reasonable Republicans I have on my Facebook who have something to say about literally everything to chime in on Signalgate like

I made this the other night while procrastinating, mainly because I thought all the posts about the blackout were boring. It feels like there is momentum bringing people together!

I'm a comms professional. I know how this works. Say it enough times, people believe you.

But when EVERY representative comes in with the same verbiage when hit with hard questions, it becomes beyond obvious that they're lying and just hoping no one notices.

"Waste, fraud, and abuse" my butt.

So sad. Harriet the Spy was my favorite when I was kid, and I grew to love her on Buffy (after the initial who the eff is this alleged sister shock). She was one week younger than me and I'm not ready for celebrities my age to leave us.

And the Buffy reboot! 😭

After failing to get PDX tickets (THEY WERE IN MY CART WHAT HAPPENED 😭), my friends scored SEA Rilo Kiley tickets!!

This is literally a dream come true, they are my favorites and asking me to pick a favorite album is like asking me to pick my favorite beer. This mig-aughts hipster could NOT.

The world would be so much nicer if all these billionaire babies would just take their fucking money and go play on their yachts. Let the rest of us figure this shit out, since the stakes are just a wee bit higher for us than "they're gonna take muh monies."

I was supposed to start therapy today but my new therapist straight up did not show up so I guess it's a good thing I don't have abandonment issues or anything.
