Sunday was Pride in New York City. We danced down streets and drank pitchers of margaritas on hotel rooftops, surrounded by rainbows and love. I'm settling into my new situation of working remotely. Considering my office is a ten minute walk from my writing desk at home, and it's in one of the most beautiful buildings in town - with a lovely set of fellow Writers; I don't particularly mind attending. That said, I like having my own schedule....
I spent last night sipping icy vodkas on a midtown rooftop with a viking. There were five of us all up, representing four continents. I've already started the story... That said, my bloody writing section of this page is still a disaster from when I had a tanty and tore it down. Lucky I'm being easy on myself, head shakes are all I can say about that.

Brooklyn gets a special shout out in the squad, and today is his birthday.

I think part of what has made...
The past few days have been painfully divine. I love learning. It's one of the reasons I've gotten so far in my career. Learning is a job in itself. I'm not saying I retain everything I study, my father always taught me most humans are educated behind their intelligence. Still, when you're the youngest in a house of five kids like I was - you get good at finding ways to entertain yourself. I read a lot. And as I grew up I took every opportunity...
