i don't know about you but my song of the summer is pink pony club. i'm therefore disappointed that my tee won't arrive till mid september.

the nyt spelling bee has a thing where you can submit words you think should be included. but what about the ones you think shouldn't be??? who do I email about that?
i don't understand looking for comps when you haven't written your book yet.
after debate & discussion it's been decided that the cat is not allowed in j's parents' room which contains too many dangers and temptations for a frisky little calico.
going to have a little artist's date this afternoon possibly with a donut.
i will say, i do miss having access to my full closet. but i also learned i can live for two months on four dresses and a couple of shorts-and-shirt sets.
SOMEONE left the porch windows open all night & it rained & my notebooks are warped now.

i slept late and now i have to get ready to go out a lot sooner than i'd like.
tfw fb says you're out of stories and need more friends if you want more stories.
i have to say not as many people as i thought would understood my hot jimothy summer tee shirt.
there's one i want, i'm gonna try netgalley, but i don't like ebooks. i will read it if i can get a copy that way but i miss print. i know it's $$$ though & my paltry substack is probably not good enough for me to be an influencer anymore.
i think, some people who paywall their substacks but are trying to use their stack to build a platform/community for a book or something, maybe going free would be better for your long game. less $ in the short term but more engagement/loyalty?
