If it isn't obvious, I'm no longer using Twitter/X very actively. I'm mostly over on Threads, though Bluesky may happen eventually. I will continue to post major updates here until the app wheezes its last breath.

@Pteratorn Lol, thank you! I also find it super annoying when authors choose to keep it vague. So many books to choose from, I've gotta know what one's about before I buy.

Lastly, if you'd like to hear me talk about how great writing groups are and possibly get insight into how I co-opted / started my own in Milwaukee, register for this webinar. It's TOMORROW: sistersincrime-org.zoom.us/meeting/regist…

My favorite moment of the show was when all the women played double dutch on stage though. I was surprised how quickly the words of the rhyme came to me. Its been so long since I've had that sort of fun but it was still there, a core memory waiting to pop out.

I'll never get over how enduring these works are, how slow progress is. 50 years later and the weariness was still relatable. My fave line from this choreopoem were the last two here, a perfect summary of my feelings on apologies.

I just saw For Colored Girls on stage. Went in with zero expectations, just knew it was a popular work. It was sooo good. Beautiful cast. I love black women so much, loved the diversity within this cast. I need 1,000 more all black female stage shows.

Identity issues. All my characters seem to be asking some version of "who am I as a person?" I finished plotting my psychological thriller and was like...maybe I need to see a therapist, I'm clearly working through some stuff.

What's that one weird thing that ends up in everything you write without meaning to? (Mine's an anti-chosen one arc where they reject the path for one reason or another🤷)

Saw Danez post this on Insta and had the thought "my poet, my poet, my poet." IYKYK. Big love.

If I'm writing a book about a detective who specializes in "love crimes" and lives in a city that has been called a "hub of sex trafficking," how could I not? Society's discomfort with these crimes contributes to many victims staying silent.
English
I care about this case because I live in Milwaukee and I care about black girls, but chose to post it here because an editor once suggested I shy away from plotlines about sex work and trafficking. It's led to some self-doubt in my work, but I couldn't do it.

#ChrystulKizer was 16-years-old when she was repeatedly raped ON FILM, by the sex trafficker and child pornographer she'd eventually kill at just 17-years-old. She just got sentenced to 11 years in prison for being a trauma victim and acting like one. Wisconsin should be ashamed.
English
Not only was Christul supposed to overcome whatever emotional baggage that had come with her experiences, she was supposed to trust the justice system to have her back, the same justice system that was dragging its feet in prosecuting this child abuser.
English
During sentencing, the Kenosha judge essentially said an example must be made, because vigilante justice can't reign. But, a child, sir? A child that isn't fully mentally developed and has also had their development stunted by trauma? That's your example?

I finally finished plotting and writing what ended up being a 12K word synopsis for a possible standalone beach read thriller. And now it's time to return to the Harts. I'm nervous / excited.
