Welcome to the (print) world, SEEKER SOCIETY! A few years ago, Kyle Higgins and I met for drinks over Christmas, and he asked if I would be interested in co-writing a children's graphic novel.

We've been post democratic for a while (and for some groups, we never were), but what annoys me / pisses me off is that it's clear the majority of Congress is frightened to death. They know what they should do, even some Republicans. They just won't do it. And that makes the rest of us furious.

One of my jobs in college was working at the Barnes & Noble in downtown Naperville. I spent slow times writing stories on the back of receipt paper and borrowed just about everything with a dust jacket I could get my hands on.

SINNERS was excellent. The writing. The performances. The music. The long takes. The dash of humor. The COLOR (instead of being washed out gray grit like every other movie). The lore. The patience. The story. The build. The surprises. The inevitability. The themes I resonated with.

I had a wonderful evening at Yellow Bird Books in Aurora, IL, this past week for their first Galentine's Day celebration. There were art stations for needle felting, paper crafts, and bead art plus hot cocoa, tea, and other sweet snacks.

Happy (belated) 9th birthday to our first fur baby, Ripley! The fur may be getting whiter, but the snores are just as loud, the food thievery just as quick, and the cuddles just as sweet. Thanks for putting up with all of these dogs we keep bringing into your house.

Happy 7th birthday to Newt, our middle child and our sweet baby angel who can do no wrong. You are the first one back inside after potty breaks & the last one on watch each night before bed. You haven't rolled in wild animal poop on Thanksgiving in years, & you almost never have scary medical crap.

I woke up a few nights ago with an awesome premise for a story, and now I'm white-knuckling it through plot development. Why can't this part be easier?! 😭 #amwriting #comicswriting
