As a therapist, many clients have asked me, “Is it ok I talk to myself?”
I tell them, “As long as a distinct other personality doesn’t talk to you back.”
Yet, in writing that’s exactly what happens with characters…hmmm

My writer's anthem is: Middle Fingers by MISSIO.
Why?
I write to subvert tropes, consumerism, sexism, and classism.
What's your writing/artist anthem?

Are authors ever really in competition?
If a reader reads a good book, it's probably the best incentive for them to consume another.

There’s simply not enough time in a 24-hr period to write, read, adult, relax, procrastinate, and sleep for 8 hours. I say we all vote for a 48-hr day in the next lifetime. #momwriter #writesky #writingcommunity #wip #reader

What song you like in K-pop demon hunter says a lot about your personality. My daughter likes Golden—she’s just coming into her shell and learning about life. My son likes Idol—he loves eye-catching gore. I love How it’s done—because…laundry. #momlife #kpopdemonhunter #momwriter

This is my emotional support poop, 💩 and my writing partner this morning. Because in chaos, we can all use some warm and stinkin’ love. Yes, it’s made out of my kids’ air-dry clay. No, I made it myself. And no, I will not apologize for my humor.

11 o’clock update:
The kids have finally stopped coming out of their room.👍🏼
So, A Haunting will be playing in the background, and I’ll be typing like my life depends on it. 🫖💻
Goodnight💤
(Not for me, but I’m nothing if not considerate.)

I have to say, sometimes little life lessons find their way to you in the least expected medium. I’m pretty sure the creators of The Lego City animation are geniuses.
“The easy way is rarely the best way,” says Duke Detain of the Lego City Police Department.

I should start keeping track of how many times I sit down to write and get interrupted by a child who should be sleeping.
At this point there has to be some statistical correlation going on.
