Kibbles and Bits
I am not the recipient of a Massachusetts Cultural Council grant, nor did I receive a poetry fellowship to Bread Loaf. That one-two punch came within days of each other. Awesomesauce.
At least I have a few months before not receiving an NEA. Or as I like to think of it: hitting the trifecta.

Pity party. Party of one.

Hard to sulk on a Saturday, high today 89 degrees … but I’m going to try. Will be back to my old positive self tomorrow. Today, I feel like sulking. As a good friend of mine says, “Feel however you want to feel today, and then get over it.”

I think this is the hard part of being a writer. Sometimes yes. Sometimes no. The no feeling can suck.
Pity parties are good, esp if they involve wine and dessert.
You're a superstar even when it's not documented.

You can join me virtually at the pity party. I serve big, pretty drinks and desserts that have zero calories and all the fat.
Thanks, from one superstar to another!
