How do I escape this timeline?

I should take this cat off the table, but she’s so freaking cute … I guess I’ll just clean it for the millionth time later. #ToeBeans #TigerCat #Kitty

Tonight my daughter came home and said, Something smells delicious!” And I said “Yes, that’s pork carnitas! Do you want some when it’s ready?” Her response, “No thanks, mom.” #PickyEater #ThisKidIsNuts #Parenting

Summer feels like it’s almost over, even though it’s barely August. I want to soak up every last second.

I painted a $2 unfinished birdhouse with my daughter this weekend. Between the sequins and rainbows, this is going to be the hottest perch in town! 🌈 🐦 ✨

Sometimes you just need good bread, brie, and soup. Now is that time for me.

I miss her smiling eyes, looking at me sidelong, sarcastic. Who knew brown could include such a vibrant spectrum. #WritingPrompt #SenseWrds Prompt 249

If you’re not a morning person, and you become a #parent, does getting up early ever become less awful? Asking for a friend. The friend is me.

Tilley is terminally unpopular, or so it seems, until she discovers that all those who once were close to her are no longer around. Doppelgängers, parent/child relationship struggles, and the nature of what it means to be "real" are all explored in "Every You & Me." #W #S #LF #YA

“Every You & Me” is for YA readers who love the darker, grounded fantasy world of The Greystone Secrets series or enjoy going down a rabbit hole wondering what really makes a being who they are after watching “Westworld.” #W #S #LF #YA

The Greystone Secrets series X Westworld Tilley is always on the outs with what's cool. Her friends aren't her friends anymore. Her family doesn't understand her. Why is she the only weird one left in the whole world? Maybe she isn't. #W #S #LF #YA

Things got crazy in my life yesterday and I neglected to post my #QuestPit entries 😔 I think I’ll put them out now anyway … just to show people I’m working on something.

Was I born purely to deal with my mother’s issues slightly differently during each decade of my entire life? Because that seems slightly ridiculous. Sigh.

It takes 300 years for the authorities to solve the mystery of a marine biologist's tragic disappearance.

GAH! I missed #BluePit. I enjoyed that experience a lot last year, so this year, I'll do #QuestPit on July 24 for sure.

One of my fellow #writing group members shared this with me. I think I'll go to the next one on July 22. If you're in the Seacoast #NewHampshire region and you write, maybe you should come, too? reedmorbooks.com/events/51996...

My fairy house, which has a sort of a Polynesian vibe.

The fairy houses at Bedrock Gardens are so cool! I entered one of my own not knowing the competition would be so stiff. Just wow!!!!

This girl is an icon 🌟

Our #vacation is over, but the moments of rest and hilarity will remain.

I had a friend pass recently, and all I keep thinking when I brush my teeth is … “Why her? I’m so much less interesting, and here I am, still standing, still on the planet. Why me and not her?”

“The Best We Could Do” by #ThiBui is excellent. It’s quiet, reflective writing and accomplished art make the history and personal memoir elements equally accessible. #GraphicNovel #AmReading

I have multiple friends actively buying physical media lately as a result of all the nonsense.

I miss you @crystalvicious.bsky.social 💔 I hope you got to join us in secret at #HighTea last weekend. I kept thinking how you would’ve loved it there, and how strange it was that you weren’t with us.
