Much as I’m partial to the original novel over its film adaptation, when it comes to a #GossipGirl spinoff, I’d rather see it on TV or film with the original cast. Catching up with them 20 years later.

While prepping the #questpit materials, I stepped outside my work area. The sun is out, everything is green, and it turns out that sometimes the best thing to do is absolutely nothing….. just appreciating what’s around you is enough.

Done with the characters’ dossier, storyline, and setting for the new novel. Yes, I’m back with dual POV, and I cannot wait to spar with this brilliant writer who’ll handle the dark side of Jack in “Bye, Jack!”, based on my short story.

Up way too early, hungry, air-fried nuggets, and being judged by my cat.

Back in the ’90s, Scott Adams was one of us: cubicle-bound, fluorescent-lit, surviving bad meetings and worse bosses. Out of that grind came Dilbert: razor-sharp wit and painfully spot-on office life. We laughed because it was true.

I was so tempted to buy these first-edition volumes of Mrs. Browning’s poems for $500. I ended up leaving the bookstore in a hurry before I could swipe my card…. but jeez, they’re gorgeous!

To my writer and author friends 📚✍️: writing is a lonely journey, and there are many moments when we’re tempted to give up halfway through. But we owe it—to our readers and to our calling—to help build a community that encourages our children to keep reading.

First day of 2026. Alex and Axia (9 and 6) built a snowman from the porch and made me a birthday card with heart-shaped clay, colored from my book. It’s way too early for watery eyes. Surely this scene will end up in my next novel. 🩵⛄️

In a few hours, it will be 2026, and I’ll be a year older.
✨2025 was a truly good year for me, and I’m grateful as I look ahead to what the new year has in store. It’s snowy on my side of the world as we welcome a fresh beginning.I wish everyone a wonderful year ahead.

Van Gogh’s The Bedroom 🛏️🎨
Did you know there are three versions of this painting? Same room, same bed—different colors, moods, and details each time.
Lucky enough to see the one at the Musée d’Orsay in Paris 🇫🇷 and the one at the Art Institute of Chicago 🇺🇸
Art hits different when you see it IRL.
