March 17th, 2020 Weird world. I was waiting until I could write something thoughtful and meaningful about everything that has happened over the last few days, and then I realized that waiting for anything is stupid, so here we are. First of all: thank you. I say thank you a lot, and I mean itContinue reading “Thank You.”

Look
March 10th, 2020 When you’re gripped by a dark thing, common wisdom dictates that you should take a look in the mirror. Stare into the eyes of who you are and what you’ve become to reach an mutual understanding. For me, the recognition and clarity never came through a mirror. It comes through photographs. PicturesContinue reading “Look”
I Heart Tomicon
February 29th, 2020 Tomicon, the convention I attended today alongside some of my favorite people, was low-key one of the best conventions I’ve been a part of. And that’s not hyperbole or an exaggeration; allow me to explain why. Immediately, Hastings is a splash of cold, stunning water when you arrive. It’s the kind ofContinue reading “I Heart Tomicon”
Home & Garden
February 19th, 2020 The other night over dinner, we were having a conversation that led into how I uncomfortably deal with specific kinds of attention. It’s something that I have thought about for years, but had never really put into words until now. When I quit drinking in 2017, I quickly lost somewhere between twentyContinue reading “Home & Garden”
Care Bears
February 10th, 2020 There are those who care more about sharing their opinions than they care about the people who read them. I know this isn’t a revelation, but it is for me. My heart has been broken by people as of late (see: my post last week about removing unkind folks from my internetContinue reading “Care Bears”
Waterwatereverywhere
January 31st, 2020 I see clouds. A lot of them. I see them literally; people keep telling me the reason January has felt so long is because we haven’t seen the sun. And I see other kinds of clouds, too; a news story on the rise of suicides last night, more and more people inContinue reading “Waterwatereverywhere”
Be You
January 16th, 2020 My dog is a naughty dog. She isn’t trained, she’s very excitable and she just loves everybody too much. But when I think of how I would feel about her if she was someone else’s dog, I know I would absolutely adore seeing her every time. I would miss her if sheContinue reading “Be You”
Be Here
January 14th, 2020 If there is any good in my life right now, any light coming from the holes I have poked in my jar, I have to accept that exactly everything that has happened so far had to happen for that good to exist. And this is how I can relax my regret andContinue reading “Be Here”
OK
December 24th, 2019 Okay (definition) Exclamation: used to express agreement or acceptance. Adjective: (of a person) in a satisfactory physical or mental state. Once a week, I spend some time with the most caring, compassionate, brilliant, clever and wise people I have ever met. They’ve taught (or re-taught) me almost every good thing I know;Continue reading “OK”
Break/Character
December 19th, 2019 “That was so out of character.” I think about character a lot. Maybe it’s because I’m a writer, maybe it’s because I’m a human who is always changing, but often, and usually while I’m lost in thought, drinking my coffee quickly because it’s the perfect temperature, I think about the things thatContinue reading “Break/Character”
