These are the days it’s hard to be anything, but especially creative. I’m so mad and angry and disillusioned by the world.
But I need to write words about people kissing and falling in love. It feels like that just doesn’t matter.
And I know art is resistance, but it’s so damn hard some days.

Listen. Maybe it’s not a lot. But the New York Public Library has all of my books available and that is a gigantic deal to me.

This year I’m working on a few things they are all things to make life more beautiful. whimsical even
I had a breakthrough in therapy and I really feel brave.

So here’s to a wonderful, whimsical year, despite the terrible things happening all around. I refuse to let them steal my joy.

It was roadtrip day and even though I was on my way to see my baby girl, you know I had to stop on the Route.

Pops Soda Shoppe and the Round Barn!! #getyourkicks #roadtrip

Did they make it two movies because you cannot put Jonathan Bailey singing Dancing Through Life and Jonathan Bailey singing As Long As You’re Mine in one go?
Would we not survive? Is that it?

Wonka was an absolute delight**! I went in with zero expectations, but it was a perfect prequel to the Wilder movie.
I smiled, laughed, and cried.

**except the fat suit used by one character. I cannot stand the use of them! It’s never needed!! Ever! stop doing this!! #wonka

Low key thought they meant the restaurant and my dumb ass thought, “ but they have the bloomin’ onion!”

I queried to a submission call. They said they’d let everyone know early in September. That felt fast.

It is in fact forever until then now that I’ve hit send.

Huh. I thought it was the 90’s.

Red white and royal blue is so damn charming. And so swoony.
But it makes me sad america hates women so we didn’t get Hillary for president. 🤷🏼‍♀️

Update to family vacay -we all came home with covid. Even being safe!! Most of us have super mild symptoms.
But we had fun! And I love spending a week with my kiddos. Didn’t want to leave for sure.

Day 6 of family vacay and we’re all still alive.
And what’s more, it’s been mostly fun too! #win

4 days until vacation. Just 4 days. 4 more. I can make it. Right? I can, can’t I?

4 days until vacation.

Barbenheimer!
The Barbie movie is everything!!! Oppenheimer was a brilliant too. perfect examples of 2 amazing directors in their element, but the Barbie movie says all the things that need to be said. I can’t explain it, the energy in the theater felt like a cultural shift. 10 of 10 and then some.

I wish my first post here was something clever, but this will have to do.
Hello lovely people! *drinks more coffee to get clever*
