Loved the Bad Bunny halftime show, every second of it. So
Much Love — and that last moment of all the flags of the Americas: “Together, we are America.” Yes! Like he said: The only thing more powerful than hate is love. ❤️

We honor the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. by committing ourselves to the noble struggle for equal rights. Dr. King’s work and words are still as poignant and necessary today as they were during his life.
Just hit 10K words for this week — my book is more or less mapped out, and now I can start fleshing it out. My goal is 1000 words a day to start my day before I work on scripts. At 5000 words a week, I should get my first draft done by the end of May! LET’S GO!!!
