I’m watching White Christmas. I feel bad for kids who don’t know who Danny Kaye or Rosemary Clooney were. If they did they’d never settle for any “entertainment” involving a Kardashian.

I’ve never met a creative person, regardless of their level of success, whose journey has been a straight line or who has not endured setbacks and challenges. If you feel like you’re getting your ass handed to you, congratulations. You’re in the game.

There are still people doing shady things in publishing. Remember, an agent only gets paid if & when the author gets paid. If someone wants money from you in advance of anything THEY’RE NOT AN AGENT. Don’t sign anything about your career without having a legitimate lawyer reviewing it first.

“We need to give ourselves permission to continue to enjoy life.” In whatever form that looks. For @lifesafeast.bsky.social, one way is baking autumn desserts.

How do we live when it feels like everything is burning? We just do. And we be kind, and we bake.

Listening to a bunch of Beach Boys songs. My eyes are closed and I see my sister and other older girls dancing barefoot on our basement rec rooms of Long Island. Fake wood paneling, astronauts, that new show Star Trek and slot cars all flash through my mind.
