I don't remember how many ounces this one holds, but I'm always up to get a bigger one. 🤣

Also seen plenty of people dismissing 7mil as "not many compared to the population."

Those people don't know or are ignoring the fact that only about 4% of upset people vocally complain.

Which means the number of upset folks in this country is MUCH higher than 7mil.

"7 million isn't that many compared to the population" (frequent comment about No Kings Protests )

Fun fact: you will only get around 4% of folks who are upset vocally complaining.

So we can extrapolate to 175,000,000.

People not showing up and just assuming I'll handle everything is exactly why I'm backing out of most of my non-profit commitments and have reduced what I do overall.

Group projects continue to suck into adulthood, y'all.

The way his swallowers screech about how liberals are making up the king thing while he's literally posting media of himself in a crown. 🤦‍♀️

Y'all find someone that looks at you like I look at my coffee... And then consider getting a restraining order.

Crazy looking brunette woman with glasses looks at a large colorful tumbler full of coffee.

If the coffee cup ain't this big... I'll still want it, but it's going to take a few refills to get me through the day.

Maybe it'll fuel a writing frenzy later. A girl can dream anyway.

🤣☕😍

Authors Odessa Blaine, Lisa Harrison, Jeffrey Dale Lofton, and Robert Gwaltney at the Broadleaf Writers Conference

So much talent sitting next to me at the Broadleaf Writers Conference today!!!!

#livingthedream

Takeaway from a Broadleaf conference panel: realized there are more uncomfortable elements in my upcoming novel, Where the Roots Tangle, than I thought when I was writing it.

B/c I wrote what was normal for me.

Sometimes what's a regular Tuesday for you is nightmare fuel for others.

Excited to be back for another Broadleaf Writers Conference!
Some of my favorite people are here. Can't wait to meet new favorite people.

I've been a writer all my life, but my journey as an author and filmmaker started at a Broadleaf conference three years ago.

Kind of want to devise a Tamarian like language.

For example: Bolton, trumped in his halls

Could mean being retaliated against for childish reasons with excessive abuses of power

Thank you 💪😁

Thank you!

Have another awkward bathroom selfie. As a treat. 🤣
Can I get some crossed fingers and well wishes? 🤞

Award ceremony for Cobb International Film Festival is this evening. I'm not expecting anything, but it'd be fantastic if we earned a little something with And the Moon Sees Me.

#writersky #film

So I went to a film festival today.

Enjoyed several of the films.

What I did NOT enjoy were the ones that used being gay or non-consent assault as the punchline.

Not cool.

#DoBetter

Thank you!

Thank you!

For some reason Odessa decides to take an awkward selfie in the bathroom of The Strand. She's wearing a green tank top and orange pants.

I'm at the Strand in Marietta, GA for the Cobb International Film Festival.

Our short film, And the Moon Sees Me, will be screened later.
It's based on an original short story I wrote.

I figured it was a good time to do my first bathroom selfie.
Bask in the awkward.

Now you and past you are gonna beef. 🤣

This was such a bizarre day full of people who will probably never know the characters and situations they've inspired in my future writing. 😅🙃🤫

I'm very early for Lo Patrick's pub event Poe & Company Bookstore for her novel Fast Boys and Pretty Girls.

It goes from 6:30-8:00pm this evening in Milton, GA, so there is still plenty of time for you to join me!

If life is what you make it and all the world's a stage, the audience that must temper their reviews knowing I did all I could with the materials I had.

+2100 words on Blood of the Dearest.
Hoping to finish the first draft by July 31.
Taking all forms of motivation, including coffee.

Could you imagine the outrage if Biden had been hawking branded crap like the Presidency is the QVC?

Last night, I went to my very first storytelling event put on by The Moth, but it definitely won't be my last.

Eventually, I'm going to throw my hat in and see if I get a chance to tell a story.
😍😍😍

Whatever. They cheer people with blatantly bigoted or false real tweets. Their entire personality is Fox Faux Outrage.

I accidentally scratched the stone drink coaster with my finger nail and other things that made me say bad words today.

An anthology by me. #WhyAmILikeThis

Guest writers welcome.
