This week marks ten years since I signed with my wonderful agent after years of countless rejections. I wasn’t sure publishing was meant for me. Five books later, THREE of them are on this week’s USA Today Bestseller List. What a journey. Dreams can and do come true! KEEP GOING.

I’m at the point in my new manuscript where it made sense to drive three hours away from it and take in the ocean air as if I have a Victorian disease. #AmWriting

Palm Springs Aerial Tramway adventure! My sister Laura is in town and we spent the day hiking atop Mount San Jacinto, where the temperature hovered around 40°. 🥶Patrick had the same adventure with Maisie and Grant in The Guncle, although in summer when it was slightly warmer. 🚠

Sometimes you love a writer so much you name-check them in your novel, and sometimes (thank you, Shawn!) they get a copy of your novel and send you a photo. I would not be the writer I am today without having read this man’s extensive work. RIP Christopher Durang. Thank you for your many gifts.
