Autocorrect has become our worst enema.

I feel like this list isn’t even exhaustive. Not accurate, but that goes without saying.

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.

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.

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.

This is utterly vile. Loomer is calling for ethnic cleansing and we need to say so, every single day, and stand in the way of this.

You know, it’s really hard to live, laugh, and love in these conditions much less write a book.

Ooh so many —Wii bowling muscle pull —touched screw stripped by drill and burned myself —Fell while shaving legs in shower —Busted toe doing spider-man exercise —Stapled palm of hand once —Fell down neighbors stairs b/c socks + hardwoods I’m sure I’m forgetting some….

I can tell you this: Gyno told me it would be “a pinch.” It was far more than a pinch, and then I had 24 hours of severe cramping. And I’m fairly stoic when it comes to physical pain. (Emotional? Not as good. What can you do? 🤷🏻‍♀️)

Oh, hey. I forgot to tell BlueSky that Nobody’s Perfect is a nominee in the romance category of the 2025 GA Author of the Year Awards. Huzzah!

Hey, 10 years ago today my first novel was released into the wild. Last night, I sent my 8th novel to my editors.

7 chapters down, 8 more to go. Today. I’m still trying to learn to love revision but mostly it makes me feel very

Movie you’ve watched more than six times using gifs. (“Hard mode” no Star Wars, Star Trek, LOTR, etc)

Bookshop.org has free shipping all weekend.

Wanting a baby boom while simultaneously wanting to cut funding for child healthcare is like wanting to ride a jetski without getting wet. Or something equally as oxymoronic.

Today’s maddening menopausal fact: This ish can dry out your eyeballs. But you shouldn’t use OTC remedies. You should rest. Even though YOU ARE IN THE MIDDLE OF WRITING A BOOK

I’m beginning to think a book isn’t really a book if you finish it before midnight.

I feel like I need some whimsy on my BlueSky to counter all of the accounts that inform me. Because the information is depressing. Who should I follow for a laugh?

Me: I’m going to get lunch! Also me: no, you’re not. The car is charging.

I would not know what cool is like, and that’s okay.
