I've arrived at a place in my writing where I'm not forcing the story I want to tell but embracing the story that unfolds.

I am terribly behind on reading requested material but I’ll be catching up over the upcoming holidays. We’ve been navigating some challenges with my son with ASD’s school & I’ve been focused on getting him the support he needs until we have a different school option.

I loved everything about the adaptation of Frankenstein by Guillermo Del Toro except the closing quote from Byron.
Why not one from Mary Shelley?

BREAKING: Californians overwhelmingly approve Prop 50, a pro-democracy measure that allows the state to redraw its congressional map to counter Trump’s election rigging efforts. The Golden State moves one step closer to gaining five Democratic U.S. House seats in 2026. More to come.
