    Due to circumstances beyond my control, my pub date was moved back two weeks to August 20th. However, It is still available for pre-order and it’s still a dope ass book.

    Oh! Also, I think I saw him standing outside the library, smoking a cigarette and I was heartbroken. I was a weird kid. I wrote a book about it.

    People are asking how he was. What I remember: Very aware of how “scary” he looked; he would pull faces and “scare” us and then do something silly to make us laugh. He read from A Light In The Attic during library time. And his beard was scratchy.

    Replying to @NifMuhammad @Pamskid
    He visited my elementary school when I was in the fourth grade. All the teachers were willing— based on what I know now— to risk it all.

    I often wish that some of you would just admit you hate something/someone instead of trying to spin that hate into righteousness.

    So... what’s the difference between what Steve Harvey said and what Danielle Steele is doing? I’ve seen one derided and the other praised.

    Is everything broken today? Did I just not wake up? Why is everything so weird? Did I die? Am I dead?? Is hell full of weird tweets about Ben Shapiro’s tweets, a remake of Soul Man called Loqueesha and debates on bathing?

    I don’t know what any of these words mean in this order.

    Woke up and I'm still mad about last night's Drag Race. Is this how Game of Thrones people feel?

    I swear to god, if this is all it takes to get Jo’s selfish ass to snap out of this nonsense, I’m going to be pissed. She wasted four whole ass episodes with this shit.

    I just noticed that I'm "grunt before I stand or sit" years old and I am furious.

    I also don’t think medications get enough. There’s still such a stigma about taking something to help your brain. Shout out to Wellbutrin, lamictal, Xanax, melatonin.

    I’m lucky to have such amazing family and friends but those therapists and pdocs and pharmaceuticals (plus holistic wellness practices)... whew. It’s a team effort.

    I’ve given her every stage of the book from unedited essay, to chapbook, to first draft, now first pass draft. This was important because I named her in the acknowledgments. I’m so grateful for the army it’s taken to keep me healthy and whole.

    Watching how thrilled my therapist is when I share good news makes me so emotional. She pulled me from the brink of suicide three years ago so her joy is real and necessary. It reminds me to give myself credit for how far I’ve come. Because, bitch, your girl is alive and LIVING.
