Check out my essay “The Sensitive Geek,” published in Sad Girls Club Literary Blog. In this essay, I explore my first love, The OC’s Seth Cohen, and all the college boys who came after him who could NOT measure up: https://t.co/MM2gh7xbaQ

Had the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to interview @thechevymustang for my podcast--you know, that enigmatic genius taking over your Spotify playlists and brains with his single #BecauseIWantTo. You aren't ready for these truth bombs. https://t.co/VRwvEzyF0d

This episode is gonna be a doozie. I'll read part of a short story I wrote in college and rip it to shreds. I'll examine one-note anger, weird twists, and the concept of kitsch. I will get into my views on This Is… https://t.co/YrJdo2KM47

What’s that literary device called where during the hook of a song someone talks about how the song actually doesn’t need a hook

@JackieWoodson Sometimes the answer is “I dunno, this is how we’ve always done it (and changing it would require too much work).” I’m trying out contemporary nonfiction lit circles in my 11th grade teamed class this year. I read twelve books and narrowed it down to these six. Be the change!

If you told me two years ago that a website called “Scary Mommy” would publish my work, I probably would have run away screaming 🙊 But anyway! Here’s my essay about my persistent, irrational fear of dying during childbirth. https://t.co/AQb5bFH26g

Part three of my “things I won’t do anymore” series was actually published by Matador, a travel website! It’s a travel piece (or in this case, a do-not-travel piece) all about my WOOFing disaster! Enjoy laughing at my pain! https://t.co/Hdpmu0u9Kw

People: sleep when the baby sleeps
Me: then when will I have time to take over the world??

@csittenfeld PREP hooked me in high school, and now that I'm a suburban mom filled with ennui, YOU THINK IT, I'LL SAY IT is basically my life :-) Your ability to capture all of life's little awkward horrible moments never ceases to amaze me.

Thanks to everyone who gave me feedback on Water Closing In! After seven months of revision, I'm ready to start querying. (Querying is totally just a verb invented by writers.)
