I see how robber barons of the gilded age contributed to our current wealth disparity. I’m on team “no more billionaires.”

And yet I cheer on a fictional robber baron and his status obsessed wife. I pay a corporation to watch them.

Being alive today is such a weird conundrum…

More than 10 years ago, a simple conversation changed one small habit. I was buying flavored coffee grounds. The cashier and I were making small talk about how we liked our coffee. He added cinnamon to his coffee grounds before brewing. ⬇️

I went on a #ghost story tour of the Stanley Hotel over 20 years ago. On the tour, they said when #stephenking stayed in one of the especially haunted rooms, he was inspired to write The Shining. I still think about that room. I want to stay there for a week to finish my current book.

I don’t prefer Keurig #coffee and I try to avoid single use plastics. But I’ll always buy a box of Gloria Jean’s raspberry chocolate lava flavored coffee k cups when they show themselves to me.

Share your walking banana salad with a friend. If they eat it with a smile and thank you, don’t ever trust them again. If they tell you it’s dog shit and ask if you’ve lost your goddamn mind, trust them with your life.

According to my sleep tracking app, I knew you for less than 27 minutes. It felt like the start of a lifetime. If you are real and would still like to take me to view the rat documentary screening, I’d love to join you.

I’ve heard people say that some of us ladies developed unrealistic expectations of romance from fairy tales. Not for me… it was Bo riding up on his motorcycle to save Hope from marrying Larry while Bonnie Tyler belted out Holding Out for a Hero.

On this app, I still feel like I walked into a party in full swing without really knowing anyone. I’ve made small talk with acquaintances and still feel awkward. So I’ll be weird like we’re in person - posting up with my #tarot deck offering free readings. What do you want to know tonight?

Obstetrics was my least favorite part of nursing school, and the rotation that taught me more than I realized at the time. One of my first clinical days was September 11, 2001. ⬇️

Let’s talk about pickles - what kind do you like, when do you eat them, what do you eat them with?

Plot outline complete for my second book!! 🎉👏🥳

It’s a paranormal cozy mystery and spicy romance mash up - small town, quirky characters, humor, murder investigation, supernatural beings, and she fucks the werewolf.

A nice birch tree is outside my window. A papery strip of bark is flapping in the wind. I am having the same urge to peel it as when someone has peeling skin from a sunburn. The urge is so strong I’m actually contemplating climbing a tree when the wind is 36 mph with 55 mph gusts. Send help!!

Last night I was driving around in a pickup truck with Pedro Pascal. At one point, I successfully made a tight turn on an unpaved road. He put his hand on my knee and said “good girl.”

My favorite thing about myself? It has to be my unhinged dreams!! Can’t wait to go back to sleep tonight! 😆

I have mixed feelings about the circle K going up across the street in my formerly residential neighborhood. I think it has to do with my age - sort of old but still young…

I’m not looking forward to the increased noise and traffic. However, I’m wildly hopeful for an excellent adventure!

Rewatching The Last of Us. Episode 3 it’s just as tough the second time as it was the first… 😭

First 2025 writing goal - stop using “that” in every other sentence…

Do you wish there were more books with magic, werewolves, witches, mystery, romance, 🌶️, and a middle-aged FMC who fights supernatural battles?

Me too, so I’m writing one!

I was thrilled to find a front row parking spot at the grocery store tonight. That thrill was negated by forgetting where I parked and walking past my car, all the way down the aisle to the back of the parking lot when I left the store… 🤦‍♀️

I think I need more excitement in my life if I’m sitting over here practically heartbroken because I do not in fact need to report for jury duty tomorrow as previously stated in my summons…

Anyone else use #tarot when you’re #writing? I’m plotting a new novel and couldn’t decide what my hero wants… for me this card represents financial security, in a nutshell. Decision made, and now I can move on to figuring out what she actually needs!

Anyone else spending their Friday planning how to get their work done next week instead of doing the work today?

I did it! I published the final episodes of my debut novella on kindle vella before the deadline! 🎉
