I feel like I should go door-to-door with pamphlets to tell people that an electric roaster is their turkey's actual lord and savior.

We should just talk about that because we're friends. :) I suggest a DM session this weekend. :)

I abhor that label.

Get the Word Out: Publish in 2025

Your work isn't finished if it doesn't have an audience. Let's work together to close the loop.

Mindset work: We'll explore the question, "Why publish?"
Revision help: You'll get an editor's perspective on your work.
Packet prep: We'll strategically package and target submissions.

Introductory offer: $99 covers four hours of live coaching. And if you don't publish within six months, we'll do it again for free.

I'm pleased to offer manuscript coaching for literary journal publication – and ready to start today, since this is something I love to do.

I get that. I also think there's some work to be done to make your own magic happen. The problem for me is that I get laser-focused on MY magic, while other people are struggling to find a warm, dry place to sleep. It's hard to reconcile those realities, and I get very puzzled by the effort.

Does someone need me?

I spent a lot of time working on my mindset and trying to manifest the life and vibration I want for myself. The question is, can you maintain your vibration while still being mindful of what a privilege it is to be able to do that? Because otherwise, the whole positivity thing can become a problem.

Still, nicer vibe.

Jerry-rigging a weeklong writing retreat for myself feels so decadent, but here I go anyway.

Don't judge me. I have HotHands in my socks.

The sun drapes its light over us without any consideration of whether we are worthy of it. Love goals ...
