Weekend trips are awesome! Monday after weekend trips are full of coffee...

I'd like to comment...on the Lewisburg Literary Festival July Update (Better Late Than Never!)

New substack about my very lit weekend...

Hosting a celebration dinner for my friend's child, whose last day of preschool was today. Yes, there will be cake! #cake

It’s a beautiful, brilliant book. 💜

Impressive.

The heat and humidity. Ugh.

Strawberry 🍓 and lemon 🍋

Some people talk about the two martini lunch, but today I had the two Italian Ice lunch, and you know what? It was pretty marvelous. And, I'm not even tipsy! #lifehack

Today I wrapped an early birthday present for a friend and it looks so pretty. And that's what I've accomplished today! #accomplishment

Yay! 🥰

I wonder why people read what they read. I sometimes wonder why I read what I read--what draws me to poetry and literary fiction and nonfiction. #amreading

The great sweater purge of 2025. No wonder I write so much about the woman who popularized cardigans!

Lunch treat today was caprese pizza and great conversation. Make sure you have lunch with a friend soon. #fabulousfriday

Check out this review of Mo Daviau's EPIC & LOVELY, out soon from WVU Press.

I am currently loving THE ALLURE OF ELSEHWERE (by @karenbabine.bsky.social by Milkweed Editions).

Ooh. Anyone else intrigued?

Oh, I've been there! 😂

Plot twist: Writing a Chanel novel on a decidedly non-Chanel budget 😅

Just finished a major revision - time to celebrate! Challenge: find vintage Chanel pieces to mark the milestone.

Fellow thrifters: tag finds with #CocoFindsForRenee! ✨

I never had until I went to college in Indianapolis. We just got one in Morgantown but I’ve never been to that location. Next time you’re here we will go.

Office hours with Denton Loving! #amreading #amreadingpoetry

It really does look like a turnpike service plaza. And kinda like Steak N Shake, maybe?

So, when you're offered a contract on a book, it seems like you should feel confident, right? So why is it I will spend hours on a novel in progress over asking for blurbs on the new book of poems? I keep telling myself it's a normal feeling... #writeranxiety #writingcommunity

It's been such a rainy summer that this selection really landed with me. And thanks for always posting such thoughtful things. 💜

Unexpected. Héctor, shall I send you my books?

Tarot cards are playing a part in my WIP. "But it was the Wheel of Fortune that kept following me. That card confirmed it: Biarritz would be a success. I simply didn’t know how or why." What's an unexpected aspect of your WIP? #revision #amwriting #writingcommunity

Field trip #narrativemedicine

As the inspiration for my WIP, I’m wondering what I should do to mark Coco’s birthday, which is today.

Today in revising: "There is an awful quiet in waiting, and we were all waiting to return to the lives we’d abandoned..." I know I'm writing historical fiction, but it feels weirdly appropriate for this moment. #WIP #amrevising
