New POV chapters, new core plot line, diving (sheepishly) into my queer romance subplot for real this time.
I’m feeling ecstatic at all of the possibility awaiting my characters in revision. Starting my rewrites today!

Working on my novel revision with everything happening around us is both difficult and reaffirming. My writing is my outlet and my platform. I’m so thankful for it.

Alex Pretti "used to tell people off when they made sexist comments to female physicians. He bought me coffee when I had a really bad day as an intern...I laughed alongside him daily. He made a point to teach medical residents without judgement, but with a smile on his face and a joke."

1) this is wrong on so many levels
2) I’m thinking about the dark truths HIS exhibit placards will one day expose and I’m given some small hope
History cannot and should not be erased. These are, once again, the moves of a dictator.

Slavery exhibits at President's House in Philadelphia removed after Trump administration directive
Crews dismantled plaques telling the stories of the nine enslaved people who lived in the President's House and were owned by George Washington.

Wrote this on 5/14/24 in my novel journal. 🤯
"So this is me, making a commitment. Penultimate will be my first completed novel and I have the power to make it whatever I want it to be. If it starts going in a direction I’m unhappy with, I CAN FIX IT. I will not give up."

Just woke up even angrier. Impeach, convict, remove. Draft articles now. Either we have a representative government or we don’t. Do not shut up about this until there’s a vote.

Anyone else falling behind? Any teachers out there also struggling through their first novel?
