@mmdaviesostrom True dat: we have to advocate for ourselves, even with ourselves! Cut yourself some slack & try playing around with another medium. Cooking, finger painting, singing in a choir, gardening, dancing, surfing, watching birds--anything that connects you with flow can be liberating!
@GraceLP@EB_Booksellers@LeslieAbsher Plus, I think you live near each other? If I make it to Cali this summer, I'll reach out so we can all have coffee and talk writing!
@GraceLP@EB_Booksellers Just ordered it, Grace! And might I recommend my friend @LeslieAbsher 's memoir Spy Daughter/Queer Girl? I can't wait to dive into both of them!

@jon_cronshaw Also, I LOVED "The Pedestrian" and FAHRENHEIT 451 by Ray Bradbury. I had a crippling fear of anti-intellectual fascism--also a gift from my progressive grandmother. She now seems more prescient than ever.๐ณ
@GinaUrso Awaiting word on a prize for which I'm a finalist, and expecting a contract for a manuscript acceptance. So, happy news no matter which way the ball bounces!
