I've written fantasy and dystopian books in the YA category, and while I love them and will continue these genres, I'm also working on an adult romcom and having a BLAST. I plan to publish it under a slightly different pen name to differentiate between my YA books and adult books.

A screenshot of the NYT mini crossword puzzle, highlighting the clue "Like lips that sink ships," and the answer "loose."

This clue and answer from the NYT mini puzzle this morning, of all mornings... haha

The image is a meme comprised of three different pictures from The Lord of the Rings movies as a way to discuss the meeting between the United States and Ukraine on March 1, 2025. First, a picture of Aragorn representing Zelenskyy, saying: "I summon you to fulfill your oath," corrected to add "The Budapest Memorandum." Second, a picture of Grima Wormtongue, representing JD Vance, saying "Why lay these troubles on an already troubled mind?" Third, a picture of Gollum representing Trump, saying "He's a horrid fat Hobbit who hates Russia and who makes up nasty lies!"

Basically, inside the White House yesterday.

The first draft is me plunging my hand beneath my skin, grasping the specifics of the story from my organs and yanking them out to splatter viscera onto the screen, like the predator harvesting spines...except slower, because I am much weaker than the predator, and this is hard to do to oneself.

Trump’s betrayal of Americans:

He promised not to cut Medicaid—now he’s backing a House plan that slashes $880 billion from it. All to fund $4.5 trillion in tax cuts for the rich. He doesn’t care if families drown in debt, as long as he & his billionaire buddies get richer.

Don’t Cut My Medicaid!

Pretty good price, but could it do the Kessel run in less than 12 parsecs?

Worst. Episode. EVER.

😂😂😂

Sounds iconic. Own it!! haha

But the Disney villain songs are always fire. 😍 😭

Good thing this current "long live the king" character uses YMCA. haha

Especially because the wait staff is now out of work!

Listen, if I could adequately describe my story in 3 paragraphs or less, I would've done that instead of writing an entire book about it.

That’s literally it. We can all die if it means white people are last to get hit by the train. Latino people, LGBTQ people, Black people, etc. We can all be spoken about like animals and rounded up like dogs if it means they’re fine.

I haven't read them, but that quote is honestly right up my alley. 😂 *Adds to top of TBR*

Absolutely, yes! 🏅

At least one kid, somewhere in this timeline, believes that Fairy Godmothers are real, which technically means that I write YA fantasy about cryptids. 😂

Text "My family: Heaven gained another Angel today." Text on the next line reads: Me in Hell: The meme image is of someone surrounded by demons in hell, holding one aloft in a threatening manner and saying "Where is Ronald Reagan?"

Making revisions on book 3 of Through Smoke and Sand, and THIS CONVO between two characters that has been a loooong time coming is wreaking havoc in my chest, and I'm the one who wrote the damn thing.

They don't want to teach history so they can repeat it.

Is my trilogy featuring Fairy Godmothers, Sandmen, and ancient evil spirits complex in its details and history?
Yes.

Am I giddy over mastering the connections and how everything fits and works as a compound machine of super-fun story telling?
Absolutely yes.

Don't come at me. Do better. It's late (like really, really late), but it's not TOO late to do better.

Is that harsh? Yes. Is it true? Also yes.

If you have black friends who tell you they're okay with what's going on, you don't actually have black friends. You know black people, and they don't see you as a safe person to be honest with.

2. You are fooling yourself in the interest of never having to think about whether your words and actions affect others, never having to acknowledge the barriers that non-white people face, and not wanting to face a life that doesn't put you first 100% of the time.

This is an edict for the Dept of Education to make sure white people are prioritized over everyone else. If you think otherwise, then one of two things are true about you:
1. The propaganda machine has successfully misled and manipulated you.

Has everyone read the "dear colleagues" letter from Craig Trainor yet? I'm literally in tears reading it, because my brain cannot abide this level of manipulation of language, this twisting of words and concepts, and that people actually BELIEVE this spin.

That's exactly it! 🙂

I've been idle and infirm with influenza A for too long, but today... I ride again to revise my WIP! *cue fanfare*

Knowledge is power…

White people want us to “get over” slavery, murder, rape, lynching, brutalization, dehumanization, segregation, experimentation, redlining, mass incarceration…

… but they’re outraged about a halftime show that had zero effect on their lives.
