Hi! My name is Lauren and I thought I was a Swiftie. Makers gonna make and grifters gonna grift. Please support indie artists over billionaires. I have zero marketing dollars. If you have come across my post, please share and listen to “Woman” by Lauren Sum, stream everywhere and buy from Bandcamp.

I miss the days when Obama could just post his summer playlist instead of dire warnings.

The same prick who gives me a headache every day now wants to outlaw Tylenol.

Rapture is cancelled again 😂

What's a woman? What's unsaid? Woman, female rage!

This COVID outbreak is no joke, gang. Lots of folks turning up positive. Time to

* Get that new Vax if you can

* Stock up on masks

* Stock up on COVID tests - they are selling out

* Make a battle plan to take care of yourself if you need to quarantine

* Avoid larger events if you are vulnerable

My favorite Robert Redford acting trick is that he would clip off the end of a line the audience already knew the end of, pause as if thinking, then start the next line as if he was interrupting himself. It's why his acting feels so naturalistic. He feels improvised while not shitting on the script.

These are the songs that inspired Woman - Out on Sept 25. 💖

There are 79 working days left in 2025. If you write 1 1/2 pages a day, every working day, you can finish a script before New Years. If you write 3 pages a day, you could complete a novel.

1000 words a day, roughly 4 pages, and you could write three scripts.

A page at a time comes together quickly

20-odd years ago I had an asshole district manager tell me "You need to give up on this silly internet writing thing and get serious about your career here at Hollywood Video." After Hollywood Video shuttered, I heard he went to work for Bed Bath & Beyond. I wonder which corp he's serious about now.

I wrote a song, recorded in Nashville and now Woman will finally be out on Sept 25! 💖

#newmusic #indieartist #woman

the horrors persist but so do women…

The chaos is exhausting.

anyone else exhausted from all the constant trauma

I bounce between hope and despair like a pinball these days.

Y’all gotta go read books. There’s no way around it.

Read books.
Form your own opinions.
LEARN THINGS.

READ BOOKS WHILE LIBRARIES ARE STILL AROUND

You know what… the economy is a mess, the country is a mess, dating is a mess, housing is a mess… may as well love yourself to fullest because it’s all we’ve got

I can’t believe there are certain people more worried about things that buzz than pew pews.

EVERYTHING IS TUBERCULOSIS is a #1 New York Times bestseller!

THANK YOU to everyone who has read this little book and responded to it so generously. It's been a long time since a book about TB topped bestseller lists, and I'm so grateful to know more people are learning about this needless scourge.
