This is what people think AI is, but AI could never brilliantly capture the ineffable in this way.
One month ago, but still true. Hey, if you’re a reviewer person, feel free to DM me for a Net Galley link
Some silly heifer—me, I’m the heifer—decided that watching all the Oscar movies each year would be a bunch of date nights. I do enjoy the date part, but the movie part? Sometimes sketch.
Ah well. I’m sure your book is 100000x better, but your take on whatever that movie was would also be interesting.
As you age, a day comes when the ancestors start to whisper from deep inside your bones: someone needs to put a hat on that baby.
I’ve been out of the loop, but please tell me this is your take on Saltburn.
I forget this on the daily. Also your observation is beyond astute.
Glad you got it. I saw an earlier skeet and was going to chime in my that mother, aka the woman who said childbirth was “just a little uncomfortable” said that shingles was the worst pain she’d ever felt. So…I’m Team Vaccine.
I don’t know how to process this information, Bree
Good call.
Oh. Mah. Gosh. I could use a picture of a cow instead of my head shot?!
Why did I think I needed permission to do this sort of thing?
Autocorrect has become our worst enema.
Oooh. I’m interested in none to Run. For my last road race I took my run interval down to one minute for every three of walking, and it was rejuvenating! Less really is more. Being gentle with oneself works. Who knew?
Folks don’t seem to understand that scooping the poop is an essential part of the writing process. (Says another author whose cats would rebel against the litter robot)
May the odds be in your favor
I’m with you. Mainly because it would never occur to me to harass someone over a bet that *I* made. This is horrible.
Steve had to get through college somehow.
*Nor
I said what I said, autocorrect.
I feel like this list isn’t even exhaustive.
Not accurate, but that goes without saying.
Change one letter, ruin a candy:

And now I have to go figure out other social media things because Little Miss Petty is coming to you in March of 2026. Cover reveal is coming.
How are we supposed to live laugh love--much less promote our work--in these conditions? I know not.
Almost got a house with a swimming pool just so I could go full on Beverly Hillbillies and tell you about my cement pond. Alas.
Hi, Bluesky, sorry it's been a while. Things have been a lot. BTW, did you know I'm moving to California in 2026? True story. If you read last month's newsletter, you know that already.
Currently in GA and kinda missing the copious sunshine and beautiful mountains of my next home.
I think the best part of going to Epic Adventures was meeting the Bride. She was fantastic. Close second to the Invisible Man who brought all of the misanthropic energy of Claude Raines to his performance.
I think I would like to be both of those things.
There are books and a little cartoon devil because I'm promoting my newsletter which will now have acts of pettiness in celebration of Little Miss Petty out March 2026
It's almost newsletter time! Since my spring book is Little Miss Petty, I'm adding a new feature called Acts of Pettiness. In addition to being the first to know, I'm also giving away an audio code for Better Get to Livin' for one lucky reader. Link's in my bio.
Counterpoint: don’t give the fascists even a single inch.
I feel you on this. Currently on the west coast but still on east coast time so…all chaos all the time over here
