I’ve been crazy busy taking care of family stuff in Brazil, but late at night, my thoughts rush back home, to California, where my book is in the hands of a fabulous editor.😊

I’m in Brazil, taking care of family stuff, and trying not to have an emotional breakdown every time people ask me about the “situation in the U.S.”😶

Marsha "Pay it No Mind" Johnson (1945-1992) was a Black trans woman whose activism was critical in the push for LGBTQ rights. During the 1969 Stonewall Riots, she dropped a brick onto a police car from a lamppost. Stand with us in celebrating her legacy. #TransRights #BlackHistoryMonth (art by me)

THIS 👇 is how you call out this administration. This is Dem leadership. Other governors are also speaking. When the media doesn't get it out, we must pick up the slack.

I had a fantastic meeting with some writing friends today. We talked craft, reading, conferences, and poured our hearts out about all sorts of worries.

It’s OK to need the help of an editor to rework a manuscript. I hesitated to do so in the past because it’s costly. But the book I’m querying has had so many rejections from agents saying, “This is great, if only it was shorter,” that I decided it’s worthy of the investment.🤞

I love watching the sunset. This one, enjoyed yesterday from Crissy Field in San Francisco, is my favorite to date.

I spent MLK Day with my family. We drove through San Francisco, visited Crissy Field, took a nice walk by the bay, enjoyed spectacular views, watched a breathtaking sunset, ate great food, and I promised myself to have more lovely days like this and make my daily dose of news much smaller.
