Here we go! Next stop, #SDCC.
Now eating an expensive adult Lunchable. Adults do not get an Oreo, which means this is Officially Healthy.
The downside of traveling alone: if I get up to pee, I'll lose my seat. Woe.
Anyone currently in Seatac concourse B?
About to board my direct flight to SAN DIEGO! Next stop, probably the wrong hotel, I've met me.

It's not really a secret to anyone who looks at my bibliography that I write a LOT. I mean, my first book came out in September of 2009: I am still not even ten years into this game.
But what sometimes seems to come as a surprise is the part where not every book can be written the second I think of it. Some books require me to do other things first. They need me to get BETTER.
(This is not me insulting my early work. I still feel that if I had only ever published FEED, I would not have been forgotten. But there are intricacies of structure and form that have taken practice and effort to learn.)

Have totally lost my party during the rush for rope drop. I know I will find them again.
Professional line jumpers are literally climbing over me. It's cool! I'm furniture! (I am not furniture.)
Have managed to protect a space in case I ever see my friends again.

Sitting at the airport, waiting for wheelchair assistance. Guess who borked her foot again?

Hint: it is always me because I have insufficient chill.
To the lady in the neon pink Mouse ears: I know where you're going, and we're gonna be on the same plane.
I do not like how wheelchair assistance takes my boarding pass while I wait. I do not like not having my boarding pass at lit. all times.

I grew up in Northern California, where we don't have weather so much as we have "climate."
My friend Wes used to joke that I lived in a mall.
I moved to the Seattle area about three years ago, and have been getting used to rain and moderate snow but I'll be honest:

In the past week, I've seen various iterations of two different but connected conversations. Specifically, "women, people of color, and people who are not cis/straight are discouraged in STEM fields" and "women, POC, and queer people don't REALLY like geeky things."
I think it's important--not world-shaking, but still important--to acknowledge that these are different pieces of the same conversation, and that many aspects of one can, will, and does apply to the other.
There are studies--multiple studies--showing that girls are just as interested in STEM as boys at early ages, and are systematically discouraged from those interests as their education progresses.

You know what's fun?
Interviews.
You know what's the worst?
Interviews.

How are both these things true? Come with me for a magical adventure in questions, answers, and "let me Google that for you."
So: if you are a creative professional of any kind, interviews sort of come with the territory. They're an important part of getting the word out, and selling the idea of "you" to people who may be considering picking up your work.
The trouble is, when you do a lot of interviews, you'll see some of the same questions crop up over and over and over and over again. This can get really frustrating, really fast.
