Milestones
It occurred to me today that I’d told my sister many years ago that I’d get a second piercing in my upper ear to match the one I got for Clarion when I sold my first book. I still like this idea for commemorating my first book. I’m also thinking every writer needs a cool
Dying, Not the Worst Thing
My first book comes out next year. Somewhere in all the craziness of my life, I think that has been kind of lost in the crazy, you know? Or maybe it’s just been taken for granted all along. Something else that’s been lost during my three months of recovery and bliss in my new digs
