I have time today so I'm going to talk to you about my writing process - something that I believe helped me get an agent really fast (3 days) and helped her sell GOOD GIRLS DIE LAST just as fast (3 weeks). You may not like it, it's very unromantic, but it works for me.

It's official. Debora Cahn is one of my new favorite writers. Not only is she killing it with #TheDiplomat on Netflix, but she also wrote Fosse/Verdon and my favorite episode of The West Wing, "The Supremes" with the magnificent Glenn Close as our first female Chief Justice.

Hey Cinco Paul. For the record, we, the fans of #Schmigadoon, are absolutely down for a season of big 80s Les Miz-turn-table-Phantom-crashing-chandelier-Starlight-Express-cast-on-rollerskates delight.

It happened. We had to ask our second grader to explain what a new-to-us slang word meant. I am officially in my dotage, y'all.

What I'd like to be doing today...Okay, everyday.

Hey Death, Sex & Money. With the recent SCt decision, I would reeeeeally appreciate an update on the student loan repayment situation with Betsy. Help a poor, confused borrower out......

Such wise words from one so young...

It requires delusion. You must truly believe it could be published in the New Yorker as is and will bypass the agent directly into the arms of Simon and Schuster, even though in its current form, the people who love you most couldn't care. Suspend your disbelief. Start writing.
