I have a piece in this and I am SO EXCITED

I have been inside a Space Shuttle [crew trainer] and it was EVERYTHING my little GenX heart desired. 😍

One of my most favorite pieces of apparel I've ever owned is the pair of vintage US Navy Surplus thirteen-button wool trousers I'm wearing to the Kraken game tonight. But... thirteen is *a lot* of buttons, and I will be drinking. So I am setting myself up for a challenge 😜

I have a fun idea for this. Someone tell me who to pitch 😁

I. Have signed. A CONTRACT. I can't say more at the moment but I'm ecstatic.

Psst! Guess who gets to co-host?? 😁

My actual process. And yes, it *does* drive @erikscottdebie.bsky.social up a wall.

This is genuinely not a problem for people who own boats over a certain size (especially with fully enclosed cabins)....

Ok, on the one hand: sobbing. On the other hand: this feels like a good rehearsal for the sobbing in the cinema era I will be entering on Nov 17 (yes, I have early screening tickets). 🩷💚

I was going to *not cry* but seeing Marissa Bode got me right in the feels. Oops

WICKED: ONE WONDERFUL NIGHT is starting on the west coast and I am *seated*. 🩷💚

MY KID WANTS ME TO TAKE THEM TO A MUSICAL!!! They watched parts of "Come From Away" in a class at school and then we drove past a billboard saying that Seattle Rep has a production coming up and they asked if we could go. Obviously we now have front row orchestra seats for a matinee.

Dick Cheney dies, Zohran Mamdani wins, a beaver moon shines in the sky… I just know the Etsy witches have been busy.

I just got to tell a young adult (20-something as best I can tell) on TikTok, who posted about the idea of queer & neurodivergent escape fantasy stories about The Wayward Children and I am so excited for them to be finding those books for the first time.

I signed *two* NDAs today. So I cannot tell you (yet?ever? Idk) about my current assignment but I can say

Why yes, I *did* put light-up fiber optic hair clips in for glow-in-the-dark jersey night....

This is 10/10

Ok, why not... Starting now & through the month of November, anyone who sends me (email or DM) proof that you bought one of my books from @bookshop.org I will send you a signed bookplate for free. And if it's one I co-wrote, I will get my co-author to sign it too.

I'm sending a note to my kid's drama teacher and stressing over which sticker to use for sealing the envelope. In case anyone is wondering if "I hope the teacher likes me" is a feeling that eventually goes away....

Change one letter, ruin a candy: SPITTLES

I hope to someday get to be mean to her in person, tbh

Have you preordered yet???

For the record:

I have an hour and a half to go from full bed rot mode to camera ready....

Reminder! Also a reminder to check with your ( + family & friends) employers to see if they match donations.

This is a bad weekend to have hardware in your body or to own a sailboat.

Apparently we're having something called an Atmospheric River and that is the likely culprit behind how terrible I am feeling today. Awesome.

Sometimes a piece of music comes into your life at the moment of maximum emotional resonance. And when you write books, sometimes the emotions technically belong to fictional people. But the music is no less powerful. This post brought to you by Joni Mitchell.

Preorders are open. You should definitely buy this book. Just saying....

Seconded. I barely use OG autocorrect....

This makes me want Premee to blurb my next book, tbh

My story that was on hold is now my story that's under contract! YAY!!! We love story sale days!

That was fun until it wasn't. I still like baseball.

Again I say: JULIO!?

JULIO! Let's go M's 💙

I had a very firm set of plans for things I was going to accomplish today. Instead of doing any of those things, I will be here with pillows & a heating pad wondering why my left hip is so dang angry.

Aaaaaaaaaand we're back! Sleep now.

Yippee. Our power is out. We are on the same hill as FEMA and the fire department, so it probably won't be long. But still... 😭

Baldwin County I never thought I'd see the day. Proud of y'all. Especially this lady. Will be looking for a bail/legal fund immediately. For the record: artificial Members are entirely illegal there, save for medical purposes. Since 1998. Yes, Really.

I have come to the conclusion that I must bejewel and outfit myself since the exact thing I'm looking for doesn't exist. Burlesque, cosplay, and otherwise sparkle-making friends, please tell me what I don't know before I ruin a perfectly fine velvet jumpsuit....

I picked Suarez as my favorite the first game I watched of this #Mariners post season and I feel very good about that choice right now. 😁

Somehow in my old age I have become a person who has TWO DIFFERENT SPORTS going on my phone at the same time in two different sports apps and I'm tabbing back and forth between them while walking to Sephora.

If I had a nickel for every time I've yelled "YES, JULIO!!!" in the first inning of an ALCS game, I'd have 2 nickels. Which isn't a lot. But I love that it's happened twice.

Cut my thrifting trip short to be sure I could be by my radio in time for the first pitch. I may be a bandwagon #Mariners fan but I am *not* a lukewarm one.

Theme parks.

If you buy mine, I will send you a signed book plate if you want one-- even if you bought the ebook

62!!!

I would like to respectfully request the Mariners please win tonight's game in *fewer* than fifteen innings.

found exactly the one use of “evil recoils in the presence of Christ” I am willing to sign off on, HOOOOOOOOLY SHIT Father Larry did not come here to fuck around

Catholicism is not my faith tradition but I am so very in favor of these priests
