Prep for grad school, year 2 ✨️

One of my favorite writing perks: tucking tiny love letters to my friends in my characters. A college friend's sound design talent here, a classmate's DND passion there, a roommate's crochet hobby in this chapter, a mentor's name in that one. Little thank yous for being tiles in my mosaic heart. 💛

This is pretty much me waking up every morning

Throwback to when I choked on one of these onstage while playing Joan in Small Mouth Sounds and had to pretend everything was fine until the interminable scene ended 😅

It turns out listening to the audiobook of Shonda Rhimes' Year of Yes is a great anti-burnout tool. That woman is an icon. I want to be her when I grow up.

What are your go-to ways to recover from creative burnout? Right now I'm refilling my well with old favorites (namely The Hunger Games), but I want to hear your most out-there tips and tricks. How do you motivate yourself when all your body wants to do is lie in bed?

Congrats!!

Congratulations, Democrats.

The TikTok ban was initiated by Trump, passed through the House and Senate along bipartisan lines, yet because President Biden signed the bill into law, Democrats allowed Trump to be the hero on this, politically.

Absolute malpractice by leadership.

Look I’m probably being too hyperbolic or whatever but I sincerely feel like my life will be measurably worse without tiktok. I DON’T CARE IF CHINA KNOWS EVERYTHING ABOUT ME, THAT HORSE HAS LEFT THE BARN, JUST LET ME LAUGH AT SKITS ABOUT GAY PIGEONS PLS

So tell me how I survive getting up early to be productive without eating three breakfasts before noon

(Don't actually tell me; I know the answer's protein)

Aww, thank you! <3

I hope in 20 years, I've found a way to find longevity in as many mediums as possible. I don't want to be defined by one written art form. In my dreams, I'm a multi-hyphenate: novels, plays, musicals, tv series, films, video games . . . I never want to stop learning new skills.

what if I lay down on the ground and start screaming and called that a book

Picture of birria tacos on a plate.

I know this would solve all my problems

I should quit trying to force myself to feel the "new year, new me" vibes on January 1st. How can I be expected to achieve my goals and workout and shit when my sleep schedule is a joke and I'm still full of cheese?

The start of a new semester though? I am unSTOPPABLE.

A much better name 😂 Good luck!!

I'VE BEEN WARNED, AND I'M READY. SHOOT YOUR SHOT

Patiently waiting for "hor-mance" to be a thing (although that may be an unfortunate name . . .)

Day 1 of 2025: ahhh, what a beautiful day to write a newsletter recapping an exciting 2024 🥰

Also day 1 of 2025: my car breaks down on the side of the road 😃

So, it's a little delayed, but I did finish writing it!

Ooooh this is an excellent tradition

Me when I emerge from a 72-hour writing marathon with a 127-page screenplay, but no idea what day it is, what I've eaten, IF I've eaten, what my own name is, if I've slept at all, and how I'm still wearing the same set of pajamas (do I stink? I probably stink. Is it seriously Christmas Eve??)

Throwback to 1 year ago today when I signed with the unparalleled Esty Loveing-Downes and literally couldn't stop myself from squealing.

These photos were taken mere minutes before I got Esty's email about scheduling✨the call✨, but I still felt something exciting in the air 💛
