I love winter and I’m always a little sad when it’s ending, but today I’m remembering how much I love walking our dogs around the little lake near us, and Cubs games (being there, and on TV), and the trees in blossom, and the lilac park in Lombard, and I think I’m ready for spring 🌷

I love this Joan Didion quote, in her first article as a film critic for VOGUE: “Let me lay it on the line: I like movies, and approach them with a tolerance so fond that it will possibly strike you as simple-minded.”

Watch Obama eviscerate the pedophile führer without ever saying his name. 😳👇

I just want great new stories so badly.
My brain is doing the spinny rainbow wheel thing my computer does sometimes.
😂
All this, and that's only a part of Trump's and JD Vance 's corrupt, chaotic, and cruel legacy. #kristinoem
book cover for TRAINING HER ALASKAN K-9 by Teri Wilson, featuring a woman with a cute dog in a snowy landscape, with NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER seal
I've been saying for years how much I admire Teri Wilson's talents—the charm, the sense of humor, the warmth. She's a NYT bestselling author now and I am so happy for her!

Is to do the search “suggest purchase” + the name of your library, and fill out a form to ask them to buy it. Many times, they will! You win, I win! ✨

Almost every day, I get an email asking for a free PDF of MASTER LISTS FOR WRITERS: GOLD EDITION.
I live month to month on freelance editing and royalties. The best way to get free access to the book...

That’s very strange. I wonder if it was a misunderstanding? Like maybe she got a lot of negative feedback, and in that context, she thought there was sarcasm where there was none? Anyway it sucks and I’m sorry it happened to you!
This made me laugh but respectfully, I am full of passionate intensity and I am the best
And I am still a joyful careless dancer and have bumped into other people on the dance floor since because I cannot be tamed 😂
A gang member beat the shit out of me behind a nightclub because I stepped on his girlfriend’s foot on the dance floor.
Even while it was happening, I was thinking, “This really doesn’t seem like me.” 😂
AHHHHHHHHH
OMG OMG!

For those that are outraged by Montana Sen. Sheehy breaking a protesters arm, here’s all his office contact info. I recommend calling the local offices as they often turn off or ignore DC voicemail after incidents like this.
Ugh, sorry. Meds often have that effect in the short term while your body is getting used to it! Hope you feel much better and happier soon!
oooh I want to go there!
wait THE COUNT OF MONTE CRISTO IS ON PBS?

This scam invite to speak at the LA Times Festival of Books appears to be a variation on the book club invite impersonation scam. If you respond, "Jennifer" (w/ a Gmail address, no web presence, & no word on what she's co-founder of) sends several "spotlight" options, ranging from $299 to $572
Oh I figured! 🩵
That makes sense!
I am very gullible, so I have to ask. The glasses don’t actually look like that, right? (I like the term pervert glasses, though!) #meta #facebook
That’s right! Abolish ICE!
YES. ABOLISH ICE!
It’s WIP Wednesday, which means you can share an excerpt of what you’re writing on my blog (protected from AI scraping.) It’s a critique-free zone! I love my own excerpt from my work in progress! 😊

One of the other regulars at my local library frequently has large pizzas delivered here. (There's a kitchen area where you can eat.) One of these days I'm going to ask her for a slice 😊
