Star Wars fan✨ author of the ROBBER BARRONS trilogy✨ I also runDisney✨ she/her✨ Luke/Mara trash since 1992 (ask me for my AO3)✨
Pinned
I really need to start writing again.

In the meantime, if you like Star Wars and Firefly, I would love some more readers for my sci-fi trilogy, starting with Robber Barrons. They are on Am@zon (yes, only there, sorry).
I just saw someone describe Aaron Pierre as “not conventionally handsome” and what freaking universe does this person live in?

Last night I told Owen I wanted to start reading chapter books with him, and suggested we start The Jupiter Pirates by @jasoncfry.bsky.social. “We know the author. He’s cool.” Owen was impressed! 😊

Depressed, so my husband got me McDonald’s. And a crispy Coke.

I can have a 20 minute conversation with my mother. The length of conversation means nothing. It’s what is said (or repeated) during it.

After seeing the video of Alanis and Brandi Carlisle singing Uninvited together, I need Brandi Carlisle recs 😍

It is once again that time of year when I ask the weather gods to please, please make it cooler in the morning. Please. It’s 75 when I go running at 7 am. I’m begging for a temperature that starts with a 6.

(Yes, I know I chose this life. Because I don’t want to run/live in the snow.)

Just for the record, @lanewinree.com is a very very very good egg and I am very very very lucky.

Ugh. The love bugs are back.

Name a non-LotR character who could resist the One Ring

My answer to this, as always, is Ivan Votpatril. Evidence: there were people ready and willing to use him as a child to institute a coup and install him as Emperor. His response then, and ever after, was NO THANK YOU.

I hate the social media algorithm for many reasons, but a big one is seeing posts from days/weeks ago about an event that’s already happened. Like, “time for Dragon Con to begin!” three days after it’s officially over.

I succumbed to all the hype at Dragon Con and bought the first Dungeon Crawler Carl book. 🫣

I ran two marathons
What are you doing with your midlife existential crisis? No wrong answers. Just trying to see something, as the kids say.

Home from Dragon Con. I had an amazing time reconnecting with friends and the fandom world. I’m even feeling the itch to start writing again. I’m bummed con is over already, but my cup is full, and I’m very happy to hug all my family again.

Until next time, Dragon Con.

Going to the #ForAllMankind fan panel was worth it just for this swag I got from someone in line.

Attended a panel about balancing creativity and life as women in the arts. Feeling buoyed knowing that a lot of people quit writing at some point, too.

As an introvert mom, 9:30 am Dragon Con is my jam.

Learned to sing the Ghor Planetary Anthem, and Wall-E joined in with our performance.
