2022-04-13 Who Cares?

Today I’m raging about my missing iris plants and asking myself who the fuck in my life will actually care about how I feel about this or anything else. Really. I’m upset that I haven’t written anything decent in months and who cares. I’m angry that I’m the only one in my household that pays…

2022-03-23 One Blog Post to Rule Them All…

Spoiler alert: This will be my last post for the foreseeable future. And it is a long one. A lot has happened in my life these past 5 years and much of it has been captured in the virtual pages of this space. I created this blog in 2017 when I was literally on the…

2022-03-18 Sometimes the Wandering Leads to An Idea

Nothing has changed between yesterday and today yet here I am again, resisting the urge to start watching a new show; resisting the urge to go back to bed. I’m still thinking about the same things. About my on-again-off-again submission pushes (currently off), all my other goals, and, of course, questioning if I’m on the…

2022-03-17 Something Only Slightly More than Nothing 🍀🍀🍀

I am so low energy today. Rough night and you know, lately I’ve been pushing hard physically and am tired from that too. I’ve also been trying to think about what might be a worthy blog post and just don’t have it. I know, I know. When has that ever stopped me before??! 🙃 What’s…

2022-03-13 So Much Next Level Going On

2022-03-06 Actively Avoiding Everything

Yesterday I was able to finish review/copy edits of the galley copy of my chapbook. For the second to last time, presumably. Ball is in the publisher’s court again. Glad to have that off my mind so I can ignore it at least for a little while. Today my goal is to take a shower…

2022-03-05 Questions without Answers: Part 2

Yesterday I was winding my way around the question about why I can’t seem to enjoy life more. Why I put so much pressure on myself for stuff and why I continue to be down about the state of things. But therein lies the problem. The questions are themselves nebulous. It’s about mood and stress…

2022-03-04 Questions without Answers

First things first.. in the exactly one week I’ll be doing my first (and possibly last) ever in-person public reading AND it’s crazy to have been invited by THE KATE GALE, founder and editor of the Los Angeles Review and Red Hen press. It’s the launch/tour for her latest book, The Loneliest Girl, and her…
