#FridayReads : a delightful day for all involved! I’m sharing a short novella about trauma and grief and the terrible things we do when we give into the anger that springs from them: www.cemeterydance.com/YouCan'tSave...

Day 102 of #600x150.

Counting the original version of this novel with the rewritten sections, I’ve drafted 210 pages. This new version is at page 41.

I recorded just the sound of me typing for a minute; don’t know why, but I liked the machine-gun sound when I played it back.
Day 102

Some of the best writing advice I ever heard was from Joe Lansdale — Write like everyone is dead.

You live for you. Not them.
You write for you. Not them.

600 words every day started Aug 3 to Dec 31 for a novel draft by end of year.

Hey, I'm going to be honest, I've had some rotten luck these last couple months. About three different projects got cancelled, so, if you need covers, pages, posters, album art, and you like my style, please consider hiring me.

Agree.

Sen Hassan, asked what will happen if Republicans don't carry out the deal, "Well, shame on them."

This is not what people were mobilizing for on Oct 18.

Making one of those manifesting fire emoji things as I finalize plans to finally make it to @vortexbooksncomics.bsky.social before Thanksgiving via roadtrip with friends.

Pray for me, gang, to live deliciously and pull this off. It’s rough on a teacher and solo dad.

You're laughing. Peter Cushing pulled down the curtains to let the sunlight in and it made Dick Cheney burn to dust and you're laughing.

Day 90 of #600x150

I’ve been bouncing around, partly due to necessity, partly because I’d written myself into a massive corner.

I had to revise a story about Pittsburgh and being haunted for a submission deadline. I also had to contend with the fact my novel had a superfluous character I was—(1)

I was laid off from Teen Vogue this week, alongside multiple other phenomenal team members.

At our Summit, I was asked how it felt to be 1 of 2 Black women left and what that meant for representation. Now, there are no Black women at Teen Vogue and that is incredibly painful to think about.

now that this is public I can confirm that the majority of today’s layoffs were women of color. there are no longer any Black women working at Teen Vogue.
