Was getting out a notebook to jot down a few things and found this folded in the back half - a brainstorming note from very early days of #bitchplanet #triplefeature scripting. And the little moment I liked enough to write down (transition from dream sequence to hair salon) only got better! ❤️💪🙌 cc: @kellysued @craigyeung #onwriting #noncompliantnotebooks #find https://www.instagram.com/p/B4C677WFoU7/?igshid=smqt0ccyce9c

More #FCBD! Seen at the store: many mighty heroes, kids loving their loot, my new pal the vaudeville clown, and a passing Scooby impersonator. (She attempted to cut the sketch lines.) #heroesarenthardtofind

Some outtakes from the first Fellows reading, with our writer in residence Angela Flournoy. Love love love this group of talented women. (Also, I apparently need to learn more SWV deep cuts.) 😎🙌#jjlaretreat #loveallyall #jackjoneslitarts

My morning walk to get tea. All was quiet except for the crunch of my shoes on gravel. I saw my breath on the air as the sun rose over the mountains. Love this place. #Taos #jjlitretreat2017

Statue outside the National Archives in D. C. - where I was researching this past Monday. "What is past is prologue."

One of us had a lazy Sunday. The other one had some serious cleaning and organizing to do! #lilycat #allthelove #shedidnotlikethefurnituremoving

I'm going to the Jack Jones Literary Arts Retreat!

Thrilled to announce I'm attending the inaugural Jack Jones Literary Arts Writer's Retreat in the fall, as a recipient of a Natalie Diaz Fellowship for Native writers!

 Along with a small class of fellows, I'll be spending two weeks in SMU: Taos with women writers of color, and I cannot express how excited I already am for the retreat.

We'll be attending master classes on everything from digital media to publishing, getting manuscript feedback from workshop participants and our writers-in-residence, and chatting with our fellow writers -- all thanks to the imitable Natalie Diaz, Kima Jones, Allison Conner, and Dr. LaToya Watkins.

Ladies, I am so happy and so honored to be a part of this adventure.

Anybody else going to be there?
