I’m on my way to Utah to spend the weekend locked in a basement with the Writing Excuses guys. So far, Friday the 13th has interacted with travel karma to produce zero lines and an upgrade to first class. I’m waiting for the doom to descend.

Look. If you are out of eyeballs, tell me when I order so I don’t sit on my hands waiting. Gah. Fortunately, they are able to overnight a pair that’s only 2mm larger and I can probably compensate for that. Still! I ordered them a week ago, and I had to call to find out

Some days I just need a break from the apartment. I love it, but there are times when I want people around. So today, I headed over to Case Study Coffee and dropped a line to some writer friends to come hang out. Felicity Shoulders sat across from me drawing. Kelley Caspari worked on a
