Follow along for some unhinged ranting about writing, life-ing, and things that I am reading or hyper focusing on at the moment. Could be a book series or Orcas, your guess is as good as mine.

  • You’re a Mom! (And No Longer a Person)

    You’re a Mom! (And No Longer a Person)

    I’ve tried to make plans with a handful of people in the last few weeks and the conversation always goes something like this: Me: Let’s go blank, blank, or blank. Their reply: You’ll have a baby next year. First of all, I don’t need a reminder that I’m 32 weeks pregnant. Trust me, nobody needs…
