#StokerCon was so much fun! I bought way too many books, met @paultremblay.bsky.social (he was so nice!), and took some great classes. Feeling educated and reinvigorated. My first StokerCon was one for the books! And no, I will not apologize for that pun.

Just read The Last Conversation by @paultremblay.bsky.social. It made me immeasurably sad. Sad for the narrator. Sad for Anne. Sad for myself. Paul Tremblay always knows how to punch me right in the emotional gut!

Proud of my City!
Salt Lake City may have found a way to avoid the state’s ban on pride flags
Salt Lake City adopts official versions of the pride and other flags just hours before a new Utah law banning unofficial flags from schools and government buildings takes effect.

Read To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee again this weekend. There is a reason that book is a classic, and it's the same reason so many people try to ban it.

You know that feeling of going to the bookstore for one specific title and then leaving with only that book? Yeah, me neither.

I've decided to try and have a complete first draft of my novel done by June. The perfectionist in me thinks there's no way in hell that's going to happen. Everyone pray to the writing Gods for me!

Today, @govcox.bsky.social allowed HB77 to become law. He didn't have the guts to veto it, so he just did nothing. Silence only ever helps the oppressor, Governor. Never the oppressed.

Today's book is Beloved by the late and forever incredible Toni Morrison. No book has ever given me a gut punch the way Beloved did. Intimate and heartbreaking, Beloved is a powerful story about Motherhood, Survival, and the horror and cruelty of slavery.
