Your Life Will Never Be Empty Enough To Write. Write Anyway. Here's How.
I've never had a clear schedule. Not once in my entire writing life. When I wrote 1 Lovelock Drive, I was a full-time freelance copywriter. When I wrote a column for a well-known publication, I was freelancing, drafting my second novel through daily Substack posts, building an email list, and managing ADHD that turns every transition between tasks into a negotiation with my own neurochemistry.

What Does the Angel Number 777 Mean I Found Out the Hard Way
I kept seeing 777 everywhere during the worst phase of my marriage. It started small a license plate, a receipt total, the time on my phone when I'd wake up at night and stare at the ceiling wondering if we were going to make it. I wasn't looking for signs back then. I was just trying to survive the silence between us, the way we'd stopped touching each other, the way conversations had become transactions about groceries and schedules instead of anything that mattered.

To the Worst President. Content Warning.
Dear Donald Trump, You are the most corrupt President in U.S. history. Along with one of the worst human beings on the planet. To be honest, which you know nothing of, until the 2016 Election. I didn't know or care that you even existed. And from the very first time I heard your name and saw your ugly-ass face on TV. I hated you from the very start. Even more so when you fucking cheated your way in the 2016 Election. I voted for Hillary Clinton in 2016. NOT YOU!!! I voted for Joe Biden in 2020. NOT YOU!!! I also voted for Kamala Harris in 2024. NOT YOU!!! The President I first voted for was Barack Obama in both the 2008 and 2012 Elections. And unlike the millions and millions of people you conned into voting your ugly orange ass. I was never fooled... And neither was my mother.
