The people who pick at scabs…”natural talents”…backstage self Another one. GAHHHHHHHH. I have stuff to do. But here goes. … Reminding myself this morning that I am utterly, recklessly, relentlessly, brutally fearless about some things (well, if and when I let myself know them) and that I also take it for granted that everyone should […]

The movie Polite Society…Banh Mi Factory…pain, resets, and woo Yesterday Ray and I went to the movie Polite Society, a Bollywood-esque Desi movie about sisters and kicking ass.

Please keep in mind the following: –I am not lawful good. I’m chaotic good, dual-classed as

Writing where your heroes have written…who is mine? Huh. I’m not sure how to express this. I wrote the scene I’d been dreading in the big WIP. It went well.–First I had to do some massive journal-y pre-writing, cried a bit, laughed a bunch, exhaled. Wrote the Goob’s scene. He came to a place I
