You likely have a hotdog in one hand, and a beer in the other. To you I say "please hand me a hotdog, and also a sip of your beer but I'll take a lemonade instead if you've got some." Perhaps your family honors our fallen and is visiting them or their memories. To you, … Continue reading For the Love of Sanity, Create
Don’t Let Writer’s Block Destroy the Guggenheim
Guess who has two thumbs, an unfortunate amount of eye liner smudge, and a cure to this bout of writer's block? This chick, right here! For me, writer's block means something that came before isn't right--the foundation is unstable. It's a simple matter of going back to the thing I did incorrectly and either fixing … Continue reading Don’t Let Writer’s Block Destroy the Guggenheim
Blanket Forts Could Have Saved Alderaan
I almost feel like I don't need a post. Mission accomplished, message sent. Stop saying everything's fine and start offering people some goddamn ice cream (or cake or whatever's handy, I suppose). Every time you want to say something positive instead of kind, think of how cold "Another Suitcase In Another Hall" from Evita always sounds. Or, … Continue reading Blanket Forts Could Have Saved Alderaan
Everything’s Fine—It’s Just On Fire A Bit
Day three of an anxiety attack. I guess this gym thing is working out pretty well, 'cause that's a freakin' marathon of an anxiety attack. If all I do is burn 1 calorie for every racing thought, I'll get back to my high school weight by the end of the week! I'm not actually sure … Continue reading Everything’s Fine—It’s Just On Fire A Bit
Brain Weasels and the Squirreliness Thereof
Brain wanted to do the thing. Brain said all we needed to do the thing was to recreate the Big Bang and end up in a slightly different timeline where other events had already occurred. Brain threw a tantrum when this was not physically possible. Brain weasels now squirrely. Send booze.
Family Is Soft and Smells Pretty
Argh. I apologize for being so flaky. There have been a lot of things going on in my personal life that just shunt me a step or two off my groove. Things are looking up now, though, and I'm trying! I've talked before about trust, and I think today will be related. The world is … Continue reading Family Is Soft and Smells Pretty
Don’t Worry, There’s More For You, Too
This week is late, I know. I spent the weekend doing a few things that were very important to me. Sometimes, even though I love writing, we all just need a break. Self-care is really important, and I was admittedly a little selfish this weekend. No, I shouldn't say it like that. Self-care isn't selfish. … Continue reading Don’t Worry, There’s More For You, Too
Something For Everyone
Happy Passover/Easter/April Fool's Day! Sorry, this has been an incredibly busy weekend. I hope you'll share your favorite pranks, cute pictures of kids and pets celebrating (you count! You're someone's kid! I guess possibly someone's pet, too. No shame here!) and know that I haven't forgotten you. I'm edited through most of Chapter 12, and … Continue reading Something For Everyone
Eurovisionquest
Y'all, apparently Eurovision is going on. My feeds are awash with controversies about pacifist Vikings and gay Irish lads taking potshots at the Russians and I have no idea what's happening. I understand there's singing. I'm led to believe that this is something like sports, in that the nations are competing, so there's an element of … Continue reading Eurovisionquest
Friends Are the Family You Pick
Book three is jogging along! I estimate there are four chapters left, unless the story surprises me a lot somewhere on the descent. So yay! The light at the end of the tunnel is getting closer. In this story, we'll finally get to spend more time with Summer and Lia's friends. I'm really excited for … Continue reading Friends Are the Family You Pick
