A Millennial’s Guide to Breast Cancer: “If There’s Anything I Can Do …” This is the other side of the coin: after you tell someone you have cancer, their most likely response is “Let me know if there’s anything I can do.” We’re not trained on what to say to bad news, and I can’t say I’ve come up…

I was scrambling the past two mornings so today I MUST be forgetting something.

A Millennial’s Guide to Breast Cancer: I Don’t Know How to Say This, But … It’s kind of ironic that I don’t know how to start this post. Do I tell you that I’m the kind of person who can carry a heavy load but will completely and totally break down at the last straw, baffling everyone who just…

A Millennial’s Guide to Breast Cancer: After the Last Day On the last day of radiation treatment, one of the techs asked me a very important question: was Duck with me? He’d met Duck on the first day, when I took the photo of the room, so Duck had to be there to ring the bell. Duck Cancer ready to…

Art does not get easier the better you get at it. Making art is hard. Making art is fun. Making art frustrating. Making art is passion. Making art is a lot of blood sweat and tears. And I love every moment of the process.

A Millennial’s Guide to Breast Cancer: Hulk Powers, Activate! My mom is so not the kind of person you’d expect to have tattoos. We’re not entirely in agreement about how many she has. She says three, because there are three specific dots, but they’re all part of the same thing. I was going to…

My goal is to reassess reality and set goals for November. My in-person group wants to write together so I want to figure out if I’m pursuing this same novel idea or picking new one … which I need to come up with. #LGBTQWriteAThon

Chatbots — LLMs — do not know facts and are not designed to be able to accurately answer factual questions. They are designed to find and mimic patterns of words, probabilistically. When they’re “right” it’s because correct things are often written down, so those patterns are frequent. That’s all.

Apologies to Emily Dickinson, but there’s a certain slant of light that comes into my classroom and painfully blinds me at my desk while I’m trying to grade essays during my prep hour.

A Millennial’s Guide to Breast Cancer: Can I Get the Final Answer? I received my cancer diagnosis on a Friday near the end of the school year. I teach at a small rural high school, and they do something different from my own high school: the seniors finish before the rest of the grades. It ended…

Friends please remember that, if a prompt isn’t to your taste, you can skip a day. It can be so disheartening to be running or following a tag and see so many “The prompt is X but I’m going to do Y instead” critiques. All those individual posts really add up. #LGBTQWriteATho

Trying to get this out of my system before I start writing the chapter proposal: While many authors have written about X and Y in Stephen King’s The Shining, the related topic of Z has been overlooked.

I’m watching a documentary series where everyone gathers with their laptops outside to work. There’s a canopy but they’re all in sunglasses and I can’t help but think about eye strain every time they do and establishing shot.

#LGBTQWriteAThon October 20: I hope to push myself to write a little this week but if I don't get really into this WIP, I'm going to go ahead and set it aside for now and go back to a novel I wrote in 2021 that needs a rewrite.

Authors for the love of your adoring readers, have a contact page on your website. I’m trying to tell an author that I adore his work. I can find links to X (I’m not on there) and an Instagram account he hasn’t posted on since 2019. I just want to send a nice message!

A Millennial’s Guide to Breast Cancer: The Beginning I turned 40 earlier this year and decided to go ahead and get a mammogram. The American Cancer Society says women can start annual screening at 40, but should definitely start at 45. Considering my family history, I opted to start just to be…

I would like to promo my new blog post series, which I'm very proud of. I'm not 100% sure I can call it my favorite, because it's a lot less fun than other things I've worked on, but it feels necessary and will, I hope, be helpful. #LGBTQWriteAThon amillennialsguidetobreastcancer.com

A Millennial’s Guide to Breast Cancer: Let’s Talk it Over I didn’t know what my ring tone sounded like until this spring.
