Thank you, friends. It’s getting better each day. However, I’ve decided not to discuss the specifics online right now — mostly because the IRL backlash would suck. But your prayers and thoughts have meant so much to me.  Also, these pictures from Best of Fates. I’m hoping to get back on the writing bandwagon by [...]

When my children walk into the bathroom and watch me going through the feminine rituals of shaving and makeup, I wonder if I’ve let them down. If my conforming to these cultural ideals makes me a cog in the wheel of less than and not enough. Every time I suck in. Every time I look [...]
