My child is on the floor of my office with her laptop, writing her own story, and she's like, "I just finished chapter one and it's already so good!" Somebody put me out of my misery.

Like, every time.

I'm trying to remain open to whatever opportunities come my way. If you know me and you know (and have appreciated) my work in the past, let me know if you could use a writer/editor, or if you know someone else who might be looking for someone like me. :) I'm going to manifest the hell out of 2025.

But I also feel it's time to begin taking on more work-work again. The question is where to focus. I've spent the past 25 years as a journalist. As a copywriter. As an editor. Much of it in the sexuality and bookish spaces.

This includes being the BOD Chair and associate editor for Feminist Book Club as it transitions into a worker-owned co-op; acting as Essays Editor for Hippocampus magazine; volunteering as a mentor for Girls Write Now; building out my Thunder Thighs newsletter; maintaining Guerrilla Sex Ed.

In 2025, I want to retain this sense of play. And I want to continue my passion-based work.

I always enjoy your work, Alma!

My brain just immediately went to #3, which is obviously sweet potato pie with plenty of marshmallows.
