Finally saw the Barbie movie. 100% worth it, but dear Lord, it could have been 20 minutes shorter... And also? When did we start putting 6-8 movie previews before the feature? A 2:15 movie didn't start until 2:37. I almost forgot what we were watching.
Now get off my lawn. I need a nap.

Got to spend the night trying to be helpful as a school board member, answering community questions on FB…before being accused of avoiding answering questions.
Heads up. Apparently, “I don’t know the answer to that, but here’s who might” means something else in conspiracy theory land.

Shouting from the Rooftops (to avoid the floods below…) – L. Ryan Storms
I've been meaning to write another blogpost for a while now, but whew. There's been...a lot to deal with here. As a school board member of a district with a recently flooded school in which everything was a total loss, the last month has been hectic to say the least. I am in awe of…

Good news!
It appears, my friends, that TEMPER THE DARK is available for preorder earlier than anticipated from B&N, IndieBound, Kobo, iBooks, and BAM if you should feel so inclined to place your preorder for this islandy, dragony, enemies-to-lovers fantasy.

Another mass shooting in the U.S. (a.k.a. day ending in Y). Republicans announce they will act swiftly and decisively to address this crisis by banning more books, forcing pregnant women to bleed to death and legislating trans people out of existence.

When you feel overwhelmed & like the whole world has gone mad, step up. Do something bigger for you and for the future.
I’m honored to have joined the school board of directors this week after a resignation last month & I’m still on the ballot for next year.

The company that prints my books has been increasing their costs since I first started printing with them in 2019 and insists on shipping via FedEx even though they are less than 20 miles from my home, it costs almost $200 to ship 100 books. This is no longer viable. Author friends, suggestions?

I commissioned my 17 yo to create a sticker I can use for shipping my upcoming YA fantasy when it releases later this year. She’s just amazing. (@)dragonartist06 on Instagram if you want to give her a follow. This kid is going places.

In America, most of us are one Very Bad Day away from our lives entirely collapsing due to some kind of financial burden or mishap.
Having already fallen over that cliff doesn't say anything about your value as, like, a human being.

I don’t work here. Just a fan. But… a thought.
There’s lots we’re used to in the bird hole. But… @Spoutible isn’t even a month old!
I’d bet every new feature puts stress on the system. Video, threads, groups, etc.
I’d also bet cool stuff is in the pipe.
I trust it’ll be worth the wait.

I. AM. RUNNING.
You heard it here first! I am officially launching my campaign to unseat Lauren Boebert and restore dignity to #CO03 representation.
We lost by a mere 546 votes in '22 — the closest race in the country — and know we can make that up in '24.

Diving Deeper – L. Ryan Storms
Success! I wrote several thousand words today. But not on a manuscript. No, this is an entirely different kind of project. I'm running for school board. Look, there are lot of world-changing directives I'd like to take on, dozens of causes I'm passionate about, but making sure our kid..

Nothing like heading out the door for an unplanned vet visit for the hospice cat’s UTI and discovering an injured wren caught in a mousetrap right before you go. ????
Vet now, then Red Creek Wildlife Center.
Hope the family didn’t expect me to make dinner tonight.

Added 8k words to the YA anxious girl story of my heart. I’ve made lots of changes on this manuscript based on agents’ feedback & I feel like this story has so much more depth than it did before.
Am I still scared to resubmit?
Utterly terrified.
