Another Tuesday, so many moods

a mood board

Morning darklings,

A wax-coated paper cup filled with every flavor of emotion, slowly starting to soften and squish, I worry I will collapse. Rainbows dance on my kitchen table and carry me away for a moment. But the sun shifts, the crystal window cling no longer casts refracted sunlight across the wood, and reality hits once again.

I feel:

excitement about new projects.

happiness because of the Kickstarter’s funding.

proud of a nearly-finished book.

sorrow from a chasm.

burdened by problems that aren’t mine.

fear of the new world we live in.

stressed by debt we’ve recently accrued.

nervous I’ve taken on too much again.

concerned I’ll stifle myself while writing my next book.

pleased with our new garden.

and

vulnerable for admitting all of this.

Why I’m publishing an anthology—lift up the voices around you because you can, not to get something out of it. If it happens, amazing. If not, keep it up anyhow.❤️ 

questions of the week

  1. Have you ever seen a double rainbow?

  2. What’s the softest thing you’ve touched lately?

  3. What is your most recent song obsession?

my answers of the week

  1. I saw a hint of one once. If I ever saw a real, for sure, honest-to-goodness one, my heart may explode. I’d follow it, wherever that led to. Hopefully into the wilderness.

  2. My new curtains. Yep, I bought curtains. Like an adult, who has things that keep others from looking in their home. Bonus, they are like so texturally delicious I may pet them sometimes. It’s only weird if you make it.

  3. The Midnight—Los Angeles

Until next time.
