I’m procrastinating writing synopses right now because I’m horrible at it. Instead of fixing this by practicing and getting better my current plan is to avoid them entirely. That’ll work, right? Okay, since I cannot convince myself that’s true the only way I can justify procrastinating is by doing something useful. Something else I’ve been […]

I spent four days last week at the SCBWI Summer Conference in LA (writers, agents and publishers, oh my). It’s a conference I always enjoy. In large part because it’s one of the only places I can stare at the twelve hundred people surrounding me and mutter, My people. (I mean, obviously, I could do […]

I’m going to a concert this afternoon. It’s a super secret concert for super secret bands (at least, I assume that’s why I haven’t heard of them, it could just be due to that whole not-an-American thing). This song has nothing to do with that. It’s just next up in the playlist. A girl can […]
