Poor Ravioli has been at the shelter for a long time. π He's very handsome and wants affection badly, but he's prone to getting overstimulated. Posting in hopes that maybe a quiet, cat-savvy person in Vermont might see this! www.hsccvt.org/Cats#sl_embe...

But thatβs all I got asked about, which ended up giving me a lot of anxiety because I forgot how to discuss my own writing or talk about it. Itβs probably just projectionβI do that a lotβbut the most that I talked about my writing was with my Uber driver, Tom. Maybe Iβll have more things to 2/3

Being at AWP this year caused me a lot of anxiety because I realized that Iβm no longer used to just being Katherine, a writer. Iβm now known as Katherine, the owner of a bookstore, which isβ¦an interesting experience. People just want to talk about the store, which I understand! I love the store! π§΅

Thereβs nothing worse than being at a hotel conference and youβre about to shower and you canβt becauseβ¦thereβs no wash cloths. Like, why are hotels no longer providing wash cloths? Iβm Black! I need one of these!
