Something good: This past week I read at TCU in Fort Worth as part of their Live Oak Reading series. I also spoke to a class of fiction students. I’m telling you both were such a treat! More than ever I’m convinced that community will save us.

From “One of Us”—seems like a good anthem right now “Yeah, yeah, God is great Yeah, yeah, God is good Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah What if God was one of us? Just a slob like one of us? Just a stranger on the bus Trying to make His way home?” — lyrics by Alanis Morissette and Glenn Ballard

Gotta say, it’s fun to discover new national and local places to shop and to remember old ones I used to frequent. Ace Hardware, Costco, Best Buy, H-E-B, People’s Pharmacy and a ton of other local businesses, here I come!

Villifying civil servants and replacing them with loyalists, breaking up with Europe, and questioning if POTUS should listen to judges. Golly, what could go wrong?

Seriously, creative folks: Don't be afraid to let people know your stuff is out there for them, or worry that "now is not the time for that." People are stressed and freaked out and looking for the things that will give them a moment of rest and joy. It is EXACTLY the time for what we do. Tell them.

If anyone finds themselves needing a break from news, here’s an essay of mine that was recently published as part of the series, How We Spend Our Days. I wrote it in the “good ole days” before the inauguration. open.substack.com/pub/howwespe...

Here we go. I’m starting another novel. I finished my last one two weeks ago and it’s now sitting with a few prospective agents—fingers, toes and everything else crossed. In the meantime I’m staring once again across the vast ocean of writing a first draft and hoping I reach the other side.

If you are feeling overwhelmed, it makes perfect sense. I want to once again offer that it's so much better to immerse yourself in only one or two things. Follow the news about just those focus areas. Importantly find concrete small actions to take in those specific areas. Key is consistency.

I have read my book five times this month, and I am tired of it. There's one more left. The last time I had a book published, the husband and I sat down with two copies of the proofs and took turns reading every word aloud. Highly recommended—we caught some stuff.
