Just two kids closing on a house. 😱 🤗🌸 Next up... moving! Anything you wish you knew when buying a home for the first time?!
We move in two weeks, and while going through storage, I came across the notebook I used to log short story submissions back in the day(s before submissions were electronic—don’t those paper rejection slips look like they’re from a bygone era?). . As you can see from the rejections here—and spoiler alert; all the rest wound up being rejections, too—being a writer includes a ton of it. When I speak to students I tell them that I often think having maintaining a career as a writer/artist requires something like 40% talent, 70% tenacity. . Which isn’t to say I’m an expert at withstanding writerly rejection... only that I’ve been working on it since, well, around 6/10/10. 😌 . Also, shoutout to Howard Junker at @zyzzyvamag, who always included a little note when he passed on a piece—a small gesture that meant so much.
That just-cast-on feeling. ✨ Playing around to find the perfect pairing of pattern + yarn for my gorgeous skein of @bleupoussiere Pied Bleu at @thesowsear. What was your most recent cast on? 🌾
Happy #pridemonth, friends. I feel so lucky to have grown up with two sets of incredible parents: my dad and his wife, Ellen, and my mom and her partner, Molly. Mom and Molly are no longer together but their 17-year relationship shaped my view of commitment, family, and, of course, the fact that #loveislove. . Here we are on a hike in Point Reyes, my brother and I being particularly on-brand: Jordan, now a snake bite medicine expert, clutching his jar of bugs; me expressing my emotions, hair akimbo, socks pulled up *over* my leggings (big 1996 trend, or so I thought). Not pictured is my youngest brother Gabriel, who came along a few years later and surprised us all by becoming a marine! . I wrote an essay for @grazia about growing up with gay parents; I’ll link it in stories. 🌈
