I wrote a raw piece about my experience commuting to work… it’s foul, but it’s 100% true. Thanks to @mrbullbull.bsky.social for giving my gritty CNF a home!

@the-engine-idling.bsky.social — you are such a classy, writer-centric lovely publication. Thank you for this beautiful handwritten note and keepsake. This is the best rejection I’ve ever gotten! Unexpected and appreciated! (I didn’t want to spoil the front)❤️

Sobering to see the not-yet-widely-released tech that might be negatively impacting my career viability… but in good news, it’s a suite of tools not one single app…

You might live in the Midwest if you went to a Jack O’Lantern walk tonight with photo-realistic commemoration portraits carved into pumpkins…

Energized by an open mic with my writing group. I love to read. Love to listen. Love the vibes in a group of talented writers hyping each other up. Why aren't we doing this more often?

Happy to arc read!

New year is bringing fresh energy vibes my way. Making a list of everything I want to manifest in 5786. Top of the list-- a legit writer's retreat. Mama needs some creative space for her CNF, screenplay, and her business book.

Hope your week gets better and you can celebrate in style on Friday!

My work friend asked if I’d help her kid with his college application essay. I don’t think my friend has actually read my CNF 🤣.

Post a perfect album from the 90s that isn’t Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, or Alice In Chains.

I never went to homecoming… but today I got to take my kiddo dress shopping for her hoco. Feel like this is a square on my mom bingo card.
