Science editor slash romance writer. Likes: baseball, musicals, Disney, democracy. Dislikes: fascists, working in the office five days a week. Now actually in Atlanta, not Atlanta-adjacent. 🏳️🌈
Holy CRAP. I am so sorry you had to deal with that, and I cannot imagine what would make anyone think something like that would be even in the realm of appropriate. I hope he's already been fired. 🤬
I feel that way about the year I went to IML, Market Days, Folsom Street Fair, and several porn sets. 😆
Ooo, I didn't know you got to interview her. Very cool!
I would like to subscribe to your joint newsletter and/or podcast.
Feels like Tuesday!
I'm an editor. Someone is ALWAYS watching.
Booked a Disney cruise last night. Not until November, and a million things can happen before then, but it's something to look forward to, and I think we could all use some of that these days!
My favorite, and all the better for being in second-person.
The idea of kids using the internet WE BUILT telling us to stay off it. [insert old magic quote here]
I am gobsmacked. And considering I grew up deep in Evangelical Country, that's saying something.
The only thing to do at this point is go off the chaotic edge.
Well, crap. "Draft with Copilot" has suddenly shown up in Word at work. People. I am a professional writer/editor with 30+ years of experience. I did not ask for nor do I need Clippy's less helpful, more annoying descendant. (I've tried multiple ways to kill it. Nothing has worked so far.)

Yes, you should. I'm at about half and get nervous when I drop below that. 😆
I knew I should've filled up last night (and last weekend before that).
One was a house painter and bricklayer. The other was a mechanic, mostly on cars.
No one asked, but one grandmother worked in hospital administration, and the other was a legal secretary, writer, and photographer.
Good grief. I just got about a dozen spam calls in a row claiming to be from CashApp. No way to block because each number was slightly different. At least they finally stopped!
I'm with you on beets, and okra in most things. Otherwise... well, okay, more for me! 😆
I did the same thing, siiiiigh.
::passes chocolate and a gentle hug::
It was $2.89 at the cheapest station near me this weekend, and this morning it was $3.29.
As long as people spell it correction, I'm fine with y'all spreading. It's a great gender-neutral expression!
I rented some packing crates this time around and I think I'm going to like that a lot. No building and taping up cardboard! No trying to find somewhere to recycle them afterward! And a deadline to get the crates emptied so I can return them!
Ha! I would love to but probably won't have time for a few weeks. All my free time has to go into PACKING. *sigh*
Then congrats on finishing, whatever happens from here! :D
But the true question is: did you write the end, as in, the book is written (but needs revision)? Or are you writing ahead?
I mean, sounds like a winning combination to me...
Congrats! 🎉
The worst part is that most of those people voted for this kind of bullshit.
Oh my God. No possible thought that there are a lot of DME suppliers in south Florida because THERE ARE A LOT OF RETIREES IN SOUTH FLORIDA WHO NEED DME. ::facepalms::
