“I just wasn’t able to tap into the creative space I was craving, but I did show up in important ways for the people I love.” On the push and pull of writing and life (and how a clean desk might help). Latest on Substack. #writingcommunity

To people posting business-as-usual book releases, marketing content, concert pics, birthday/anniversary posts, STOP unless you're also shining a light on the atrocities being perpetrated by ICE in MN. Just stop. You're either standing with us now or you're part of the fucking problem!! 1/2
I'm so proud to be a Minnesotan! It was cold beyond belief and we STILL showed up to march for human and Constitutional rights, to demand justice. GTFO of MN, ICE!
The last couple of weeks have been a doozy and I wasn’t sure I was up for my usual lighting extravaganza, but in the end, I could not resist bringing the light. Pro tip this year: instead of greasing my hands with aquaphor, I used some gloves left-over from when my dad was in hospice.

There are stacks of books on the floor in my bedroom. I have bookshelves, too—that's not the problem; just too many books. These are the ones on my early fall reading line-up. Some of them are newish; some have been in one of my stacks for a while, and I'm happy to finally pull them out. 1/3

My first time going to the luminary loppet. Fresh snow was a bonus! Music, skiing, good friends and beauty. Exactly what I needed! I love Minneapolis!
