Not much of a weed-eater but someone gave me a gummy last week so I ate it before I went to the airport and while I was standing in line to get on the airplane I got an idea for a new book and then I typed an entire outline into my phone, am I doing drugs right

At the grocery store the woman checking me out and I were chatting about aging and the wisdom we acquire along the way in life, and she got thoughtful and quiet for a beat, then said if she could tell her 20-year-old self anything it would be to listen to her conscience more.

Dear people we are entering August, the month nothing gets done in publishing. Do not worry if you do not hear anything. No one is hearing anything. It's not personal. It's just August.

I see that some people complain that writing advice is a waste of time, and I just want to say that sometimes it's helpful to be reminded of things you already know, that we even forget things, and even if the advice is basic as hell, it can just be nice to know you are not alone

I missed doing a 6 month adoption update on Leo because I was traveling but I just want you all to know he's a little sweetpea, a burrower, a snuggler, still a total hellion on the leash (but getting *a little* better?), and a total romper in the dog park. A+, would adopt again.

My main conflict with dog adoption is I have one instinct to adopt a tiny buddy who can travel with me and I would be her great protector, but I have another instinct to find a 3 year old mama pit bull and we would be each other's mutual life defenders till the end of time
