I'm a food writer who tweets about all the interesting things in life like books, science, sci-fi, food, nature, words, tabletop gaming, & everyday weirdness.
I've had two top-ranking feature articles in a row this week. Exciting. :-) This is so much better than ghostwriting for so many reasons. Yesterday, I got paid extra to eat a frozen custard dessert. Darn the luck.
Ever had a moment fabricated to make you think of someone you've lost? The song playing that their mom always said reminded her of him, the product you're writing about that was his childhood fave, and a link about Christmas that reminds you of his mischievousness. 19 years gone.
My previous employer still hasn't paid me my last paycheck. Nobody else got theirs either. For once, I'm not going down with the ship and everyone else is jumping overboard, too. Whee!
It feels especially cruel to know I've been hired as a food writer and still have to take horrible articles from my old company while onboarding with my new one. Today, I have to write about cutting metal with an angle grinder. That sounds painful in every way.
I don't like being a yelly person, but sometimes my dog only responds to shouted requests to shut up when I'm trying to get to a good writing stopping point before talking her outside. Yeesh. Stop barking at me already. #mycoworker
It's a rare occasion when Spotify's Discover Weekly introduces me to a new song or artist I really like, but I'm really enjoying Iraina Mancini. #irainamancini https://t.co/qQ3YeVHJMV
The pickup line from today's latest unsolicited Instagram message is better than usual. Although, I think the sentiment may not cross over as well culturally as they think. #pickuplines#instagrampickuplines
When I see these cave art articles, I always think about my brother and me drawing and scratching all over canyon walls and drainage tunnel walls with rocks, clay, and sticks when we were kids. https://t.co/thJtFTyNWb
That moment when you meet new people at board game night and you feel like you've known them all forever. Finally meeting your kind of people in a newish city feels good. #newpeople#boardgamenight
