Thought it'd be easier to mass-update here, instead of texting the MANY inquiring parties separately. After seven weeks on backorder, following an alarming "we're not sure we'll be able to fulfill your purchase" email, my limited-edition, pre-order-only Fiona Apple "Fetch the Bolt Cutters" official sweatshirt has arrived. Thank Shesus. We can all finally start sleeping better. 🙏🏼✌🏼🙊 But seriously, #fionaapple and I have been through a lot since I fell hard for her in middle school, and #fetchtheboltcutters is, as always, freakishly apropos and prophetic and haunting and fun. Though every song MYSTIFIES my Anthony, for me, these are the anthems soundtracking this most bewildering + frightening + m-f'ing-angry era of my life. "I move with the trees / in the breeze / I know that time is elastic." Long live my 👑 queen 👑.

By the time I finished it, sunlight flooded my office, distorting this photo so serendipitously my mane's roots actually appear the color God Herself intended, and my beloved @_rachblack of @citrinehairandskin achieves. 👑 Anyway. Ask any screenwriter. Few highs top that dopey, delicious "FADE TO BLACK" high. I won't know this baby's strengths and weaknesses for weeks, but we won't focus on that today.

Today, Mama will be tired, but happy.

Honestly? Not a great midnight officemate. 🤷🏼‍♀️ #abbeyclelandlopez ...

Chatty 24 hours in Abbeyland. Some very good updates from three of my dearest people, and a happy email I've been waiting on, hoping for.... Note to Self: Stop forgetting, even momentarily, that things can get better, easier, lighter.

(Also, if you really truly prefer Veronica over Betty unfollow me now on the grounds that you're a scary/gravely confused individual. 😏😳😆)

Short writer, long story. ⚖️ Sometimes, early in mapping out a storyline, I stand on my chair to take in all the plotty Post-its at once. (The kids find this hilaaarious.) Writerfriends, am I alone here?
