@LWEstudio "How to Build a Bomb by @ForanLindsay is a delicate narrative with an explosive central conflict. What happens when the border dissolves between our internal and external worlds? With command of characterization, plot and structure, this is a careful story about disintegration."

@clhubes My 18-month old pulled out all her clothes from her drawer, ripped off her diaper, and pooped on the floor. This all happened in the 30 second span it took me to load clothes into the wash. So…a beautifully clean home? That’s a hard no. A bison? Of course.

Possibly unpopular opinion, but I think Christmas lights should stay up all winter (except for like obvious Santa ones) cause it makes the gloomy days prettier and helps seasonal depression

@a_h_reaume I’ve had a few friends in the last couple of weeks with the same symptoms. One of them went to her doctor, and she was told it’s a stomach virus (no vomiting or any gastro symptoms other than the pain, nausea, and bloating). Hope you feel better soon!

@MrsRieB Yes! We sang this song too in Quebec, Canada!

Beyond excited to see my story about motherhood, aging, and loss listed as a finalist! Congratulations to all the finalists!

I wish less people glorified accomplishing things before 30. More exploring. More starting over at 40. More finding your true passion at 50. More moving across the country at 60. People get complacent because they think life has a time limit.

It doesn't.

Celebrate lifelong evolution.

“I'm so glad I live in a world where there are Octobers. It would be terrible if we just skipped from September to November, wouldn't it? Look at these maple branches. Don't they give you a thrill-several thrills? I’m going to decorate my room with them.”
