The world is on fire and I'm prepping to record a podcast with my husband's friend who wrote a memoir about being on the USS Cole in 2000, and my brain just can't bring any real thoughts together. We can't function like this anymore.

Yup. Had a conversation with a guy who justified using it for the "tedious stuff" he doesn't want to do because he's been a writer for 20 years. The tedious stuff is what makes you a better writer - the character development, knowing how to check pacing, etc. Rewriting AI output is being an editor.
Hey everyone, this podcast was a ton of fun to do, and I got to talk all about my new book SHADES OF FOREVER, so if that interests your braingoblins, clicky the linky!
I had a blast talking with Chris Kluwe @chriswarcraft.bsky.social about childhood favorites, early writing, and his upcoming release, SHADES OF FOREVER - on my podcast, The Writer's Journey. Available everywhere you listen to podcasts!

I was quiet about my political account until I added my protest post there instead of here. Instead of deleting it, I'm just going to reshare it here! This is also me, and I have #noking.
Protest sign on neon pink poster board says "I HAVE NO KING!"
Same old sign, same old message. Stay safe today, Peeps.

Facebook post from author Alie Dumas-Heidt reads: You guys! I found the original, handwritten copy of the 1st poem I wrote as a kid, complete with the first unfinished draft at the top. It was the first poem I wrote just to write it, not as an assignment. I was 11. It's about death. It has horrible spelling errors. I signed it with my full name, age, city, and state. I spelled my own middle name wrong! Way wrong! 😂 🤣 😂 🤣
RFK Jr/MAHA disciples, you got PLAYED.
And everyone else saw it coming except you.
And by that, I mean worth the read in general, not that I think Jay Kuo is unfamiliar with it. 😅
The decision by Justice Jackson in 1948 specifically addresses this excuse that law enforcement can't be bothered to get a warrant every time, even though that requirement was the whole point of the 4A. Worth the read.

I thought JR preferred toilet seats?

That game got me through the covid times. Recently reset my island for more escape days.

In the process of moving things away from Gmail and just opened an email to me from me, sent in the middle of the night in November. The subject line says "This is a password for something" and there's a long list of gibberish in the email. That's all. I bring the chaos to myself, it's my fault... 😅
I had so much fun doing this interview with Florenza Lee and Authors on the Air! I'll be hosting my own show there - The Writer's Journey - where I'll be talking to all kinds of writers about their early beginnings and upcoming work!

I have stopped and started so many things already today you'd think it was a Monday... #squirrel!
I've hidden this part of my writing for a while because I was trying to keep my politics and my book life separate but that hasn't worked. So, here's my bite-sized take on the 4A.
