I’m meant to be preparing the house for a 21st bday party and calling my insurance company about water damage to kitchen ceiling. Instead I’m treating myself to a bottle of wine and an all day line up of sappy movies that make me cry.

I would like to get my head back in a creative space. Work demands, caring for an aging parent, even vacation travel have me out of sorts. And now come the holidays

Just back from a whirlwind week and a half in Ireland. Cant believe I’m back to work tomorrow; it seems surreal. Wish it had been more chill - next time I’ll travel alone. But I have tons of priceless memories and experiences that will last forever. #noregrets #ireland #travelireland

Flashing lights illuminate the scene as a photographer snaps pictures of the mangled corpse. Several yards away, a uniformed officer is vomiting on the sidewalk. An unmarked sedan pulls up, and a detective emerges. Staring down at the body, he slowly removes his sunglasses and whispers, “Found him.”

Officially in the query trenches. It’s a good thing life has well prepared me for rejection. Meanwhile, I outlined a new concept today.

Reluctantly & inadvertently joined the 5am club this morning. Got in some finishing touches on my WIP but I really hope this doesn’t become a trend. I value my sleep over everything.

I never fail to be surprised when I see that I’ve met goals that I set. Stuck in the weeds, all I see is the day to day, hard work yielding small, incremental gains. Until I step back and review and realize I did it.

Refining/fine tuning my villain. In this case, as important as the protagonist, but woefully lacking in depth and development. Not for long…

I’ve always needed silence to write. I squirrel myself away in my office and mute my phone. But sitting so much with my fragile mom, I’m learning to write amid the noise. TV keeps her company. I can either adjust or stop writing. Those are the options. #writing #writingcommunity

Anyway, it's amazing how MAGA voters have internalized a story about how elitist Democrats look down on them with contempt and then their own president and party moves to screw them over in every single way imaginable.
I guess Mencken was right. The people got what they wanted, good and hard.

We all took it for granted. Turns out, it was extremely fragile all along. Now it's gone. 😞 Democracy didnt die in darkness. It was brutally murdered and erased in bright daylight.
