Bright Lights, Big City, No Money, Little Fear. This was me in NYC. I asked a stranger to take a picture of me at night in Times Square with my point and shoot. My first internship was with a organization in the heart of midtown that presented awards and fellowships to young theater artists and I had to type a lot of thank you letters to a lot of stodgy old patrons. I wasn’t very good at it, and thanks to a guardian angel (Holly Wolf, I’m looking at you), I quickly transferred to an actual theater company, Mabou Mines, which became a home away from home for me. I tried to capture the first feels of current day Times Square in ART BOSS for Piper, too, when she goes to midtown for the first time. #NYC #NewYorkCity #TimesSquare #ArtBoss #PiperPerish #YALit #TBT #ThrowbackThursday #BrightLightsBigCity #YAReads #YABooks #TeenFiction #IGReads #chroniclebooks

Okay, this is my Vacation Brain talking. This little hummingbird was doing it’s job here in Palm Springs, filling up on flower power, and she reminded me of an important creative life basic. We should refuel when we need. We should be with friends who lift us, eat food that nourishes us, and read for joy and introspection. We should get enough sleep. We should gather what we need so we can live fully and do the work we’re supposed to do and be present for the ones in our lives that we truly care for and the strangers we meet. Let’s take care of ourselves and each other and nurture our creativity this week. Deal? #mondaymotivation #motivationmonday #amwriting #vacation #vacationmode

In a quiet room with a big white bed and many doors and mirrors and a ceiling fan and I just finished my #1000wordsofsummer Round 2 Day 12 #Book3 #amwriting. Sometimes the reality of writing looks like this: very boring and plain and nondescript, so the heart and spirit and brain can get extra loud and take over the story. And now today’s work is done and it’s time for #fridayvibes. 🌴
