A one logline query letter submitted. There are six typos in the sentence. “Can I send you a copy of my script.” (Correct - there was not a question mark at the end of the sentence.) I’m thinking of replying “No?”

I think Neil Gaiman’s Son Thinks His Dad Is in Charge of ‘Doctor Who’ www.nytimes.com/2023/12/09/a... is a gift link....

I received birthday greetings yesterday from Delta who wants to know where I would go if I could go anywhere tho not offering to pay my way and Blue Shield who wonders if I’m considering retiring. I do NOT feel seen.

Watching @neilhimself.neilgaiman.com “The Art of Storytelling” on #MasterClass is taking forever! I keep pausing to write down “nuggets of wisdom,” as well as sentences that take my breath away, and beautifully distilled thoughts. The accent doesn’t hurt either! #storytelling #story #writing #swoon

The amount of To Dos I get To Done when there’s a task I really don’t want to do is astonishing.

Am I the only one who sometimes worries that I won’t be able to “prove I am a human” and correctly identify all the boxes with a traffic light?

It’s not a great day when you run around, accomplish a ton, have coffee with someone you’ve only met online and crossed off every errand on your list only to find you’ve list your keys - probably in the back of the last Lyft and the driver won’t respond for over an hour…

I’ve done more cleaning & organizing in the last 2 days than the last 2 months. Almost enough to be willing to have a pro cleaner come in! Obviously #procrastination #writing

Catching a spider in the house and releasing it outside - conceptually great. Reality: spiders 3 vs me 1.

At CVS trying to purchase something seemingly simple but there are 27 options so I’m grumbling out loud. I look like the crazy lady talking to herself while the woman down the aisle taking to her baby about shopping looks like a great mom. #singlelife

Mail call! Opening greeting on a two page letter. This makes my brain hurt.

How long do you think X will be “(formerly known as Twitter)”? No one ever adopted “Love Symbol (formerly known as Prince).” #amiright

If this is #bluesky should I just leave my profile header blue? #newbie
