They were careless people, Tom and Daisy- they smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back into their money or their vast carelessness or whatever it was that kept them together, and let other people clean up the mess they had made. -FS Fitzgerald, The Great Gatsby, published 4/10/1925.

A dream that woke me and demanded to be put on the white of a screen. First, I wrote what led the characters to the dream. Now, I'm both editing that and writing how the dream continues. Books, like life, twist and turn; bumping into characters, events, joy, sorrow, and adventures along the way.

Ditto for aspiring writers. When I was a script reader, occasionally I’d see a slush pile script that was written as first in a series and they were ALWAYS unsatisfying because they didn’t resolve anything

I’m in panic mode. My interlibrary loans are listed as “In Transit,” but we’re supposed to get a big snowstorm the day of the van deliveries. What if the van can’t get here?! What if they close the library?! Do I have other books to read? Yes. Plenty. That’s not the point. 📚💙

So we have a guy in charge of our lives who drove his wife to suicide? We have a guy in charge to defense that didn’t allow women to defend themselves? We have an Attorney General in charge of respecting laws that took a bribe to ignore laws? Everything seems fine.
