Listen To Me Wax Reproductive On “Feliz Navipod”
Nope, that’s not a typo. For some inexplicable reason, I thought it was the purrrrfect time and venue to talk about the status of my reproductive system when my dear friend, Tony Thaxton, asked me to appear on his hilarious podcast, Feliz Navipod. Luckily, I was able to turn a potentially awkward conversation into a discussion filled with thrills, spills and educational information about Boston’s medical coverage for fertility insurance...

“I Wanna Get Better”… At Updating This Site
View from the top… of my computer I can’t believe this is the first post of 2014. Dang! What have I been doing for the last 4 months? Oh, right… I’ve been: Looking for a job Building up more freelancing gigs Taking writing classes at UCLA Worrying about money Waiting for editors and HR peeps to get back to me Trying to date guys who aren’t either married or (recently) recovering from a substance-abuse problem Not sleeping Watching...

What It’s Like To Stare At A Blank Page
It’s Christmas and everything’s closed so I’ve vowed to spend today writing. So far, this is what I’ve accomplished: Opened draft of YA novel in Microsoft Word Drank two cups of coffee Re-arranged the items in my Amazon cart 14 times but have yet to actually press “order” Looked up ink toner recycling programs at Staples.com Nearly burned myself on the scorching hot prongs when I unplugged my space heater Printed...

All The Write Stuff
As Barenaked Ladies would say, “Where does the time go when it’s not around here?” Yeah, I just quoted BNL. What? For the last six years, I’ve wrapped myself in the comfort of a non-fiction Snuggie and it’s been a cozy, though somewhat sweaty, slice of heaven. However, I think it’s about time I shed it in favor of a slimming pair of fiction Pajama Jeans. (Translation for those who don’t shop in the “As... Read More
I Got A Nautical Themed Pashmina Afghan
Ever since I moved back to Los Angeles almost two years ago, I’ve spent the majority of my time working my tail to the bone. (No, really. It hurts to sit. TMI.) If I wasn’t prepping — and then promoting — the release of my latest book, Geek Girls Unite, I was navigating the waters as a marketing director for one of my favorite record labels. And, let me tell you, those waters were mother-effing choppy… and stressful…... Read More
New Year, New Me, New You
It’s crazy how time flies, jumps, skips, gallops and shimmys by—with jazz hands, no less. I’m super lucky to have the next week off work and I’m determined to take care of some housekeeping that’s been massively overdue (i.e. clean the floor boards, throw away old spices, flip my mattress, update this here site, etc.). I’m not sure why I’ve been neglecting all this stuff—well, let’s be honest, who would... Read More
Bahston Is Wicked Awesome
I’m home on another Saturday night, updating this here blog while watching Lindsay Lohan’s poorly dyed blonde streaks in Freaky Friday for the zillionth time. But don’t cry for me, Argentina. I’m actually quite stoked to spend the evening in my jim-jams—especially because I spent most of the afternoon hobbling in 5-inch high heels at a pre-Grammy BBQ in Beverly Hills and my dogs are barking. To be honest, things have been... Read More
