I know what you guys are wondering.... "But what does water drink?" 🤔

The answer is vodka. (Clearly.) 💎

Messy Life Moment calls for:

cat nap, coffee, snacks, a fave sweatshirt, washable shoes, not giving an eff about your hair, ignoring your phone,

THEN,

slowly float to the ceiling to picture yourself from above as some colorblind, benevolent, omniscient force may -- or, if it resonates better for you -- a security camera only programmed to record fleeting moments of love.

Take in this view, this view with you in it, in black and white; this is to say, in simple big brushstroke shapes and lines.

Suddenly, just a few feet higher, just a few shades fewer, you are not a mess. You are not even IN a mess.

You are a protagonist on a noble, timeless journey.

And now, back on the mortal ground floor, even you must admit: it's all actually quite beautiful.

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?

Packed most of the house nary a pause/thought/reflection, until this moment, in sacred #fionaapple sweats, blasting #daisythegreat , removing titles from shelves. Heart juuust caught up to mind/body/calendar. Wild.

(And don't worry, babies. You're all coming along. 📚📚📚)

Make no mistake, my creative dears: True passion projects are fucking ruthless.

If you don't feed them, they'll eat you.

How you babies doing on this most Mondayest Monday? Sometimes after my birthday I temporarily become a Scorpio.... 🤭☠️ (Anyone else morph?! .... Could also be my current moody protag.) Much thanks to whoever left me the single red rose. How did you know I was feeling theatrical? (I'm guessing it was you, Ed. So now I'll get to work, like you, Ed.💋)
