Hot take: I'm truly not interested in hand wringing over how much people will miss enjoying the books of men who have turned out to be abusers. I'm far more concerned about the missing art that women haven't been able to create/publish because they crossed paths with such men.

Shout out to all the elementary school teachers and onward who went out of their way to praise my writing - I think of you all often with immense gratitude. Special recognition goes to my 8th-grade LA teacher who loved my story about a sex worker on Christmas Eve.

It’s that time of year again! Here’s my Xmas music Spotify playlist. I’ve added new songs this year, so it’s clocking in at almost 32 hours long! Always play on shuffle (“smart” shuffle NOT recommended )!
