A whirlwind of a weekend. Brother married, (new sister made official!), then these two lovely humans back in college in two different states. Hundreds of miles driven. Tired, but my heart is full. New beginnings all around. 😊

The interwebs tell me it’s #BlackCatAppreciation

The interwebs tell me it’s #BlackCatAppreciationDay . In our house, that’s every day, of course. Let me tell you about Boo. Five years ago, someone in town posted that they had one 8-week-old kitten in the litter they couldn’t place. We weren’t in the market for a new cat (we had two already) and when we got her home there were a few moments when we wondered what we’d gotten ourselves into. She had fleas. She climbed the back of our couch like an intrepid rock climber, popping up to swat at our hair. She picked a whole lot of fights with her reflection in the mirror. But she was the cuddliest creature on Earth, with a squeak of a meow that melted my heart entirely. In the years since, she’s been my buddy. She knows precisely what she wants and how to get it and she’s never lost her kittenish wonder. She has taught me so many good things. Here’s to you, Boo.

I have always loved Barnes and Noble’s Book Haul, but even more so this year when they picked LOVE IN ENGLISH as one of the titles that is 50% off! So head on over to the top link in my bio and buy waaaay too many books like the rest of us. 😊

The woman who taught me how to get a foot in the door in publishing @profsue123 is launching her first middle grade novel next week... and has invited me to join the party. You’ve probably heard me talk about her before... after a decade of wandering through the desert trying to figure out how things worked, I took her class in NYC and by the end of it I’d sold a personal essay to Newsweek. (She has since memorialized her vast knowledge in Byline Bible, which you should totally get if you write but can’t make it to a class. But also: make it to a class). Anyway, please stop by to celebrate. When Sue’s involved, it’s always fun and chock fun of interesting stories. Join me in celebrating her latest book!

Eastern black swallowtail, official butterfly of the state of New Jersey (and Oklahoma, apparently). Male, I think. Just hanging out in my garden. ❤️🦋#NerdKnowledge

Also: I don’t care what people say. Pigeons are absolutely gorgeous. I’m going to write/photograph a coffee table book called Pigeons of New York Reimagined. Resilient little survivors, they are. Respect.
