Truth

Working title of WIP:

“WHORES IN SPACE”

Would you read that? Or…do I need to come up with something else?

The beagle loves riding in the car. My goal is to be as happy as this whenever possible.

Winter Break Writing

My goal is to finish this novel that I’ve been working on for FIVE DAMN YEARS!!! I got the germ of an idea in May 2011. Started writing the novel a year later. I WILL finish it and begin looking for an agent. Because I’m ready to write something else.

Gender-Neutral Pronouns...

I have been working hard to use them this week, because of my gender-fluid students. It’s a challenge, but it’s worth it to see how much it means to these kiddos.

Speaking of old dogs, look how awesome this dog is. Tho, to be fair, he knows no tricks…

I wish I could write a novel...

….that’s as good as the Indigo Girls’ song “Ghost.”

Things my dog has protected me from today:

1) Proselytizing Christians

2) Gutter cleaning

3) Napping

Almost 6 years ago...

….I dyed my hair blue. Then I kept dying it blue. Bright blue; dark blue; purple-blue. My bathroom has permanent blue ink stains. My dog is growing out a bit of blue dye that dripped on his forehead. I have t-shirts with permanent blue stains around the neckline.

So now, as we enter 2016 and I embark on the second half of my 40th year on Earth…I’m thinking it might be time grow up a bit.

In 2016 I’m gonna dye my hair more of a violet-red. Yeah. That feels more mature.
