Milk Toast Brownies
We’re here! We’re in San Diego! And we’re alive! And we just moved into our actual apartment (as opposed to the Airbnb we’ve been renting for a month). We’re just in that awkward state where everything is in boxes and we’re trying to figure out what normal looks like. Since I really should be unpacking or working on grad school coursework, of course I decided to ignore all that and create something new!

Nearly everyone finds writing hard. Writers find writing hard. What makes writing hard for you?
Perfectionism makes writing hard for me. I have high standards for the impact I want my writing to have. I’ve read such breathtaking work — and I almost won’t read it anymore because I know it feeds this despair in me — so I know how beautiful, perfect a sentence or image can be. I know you can make someone stop and exclaim, “HOW DID THEY THINK OF THAT.”

I may have mentioned this a thousand times before, but moving across the country is pretty stressful, as it turns out. And stress makes being nice to others, particularly certain husbands, pretty difficult, as it turns out. One day you’re in love and the next you’re duct taping all of his clothes into a giant ball because if he’s not going to help you pack you’re not going to waste a perfectly good box on him, so there.
Not that I speak from experience or anything.

Fish Taco Bites
When this recipe pops up in your inbox, Mike and I will (hopefully) be knee-deep in our cross-country trek to our new home in San Diego! I would love to paint a Norman Rockwellian portrait for you of us clambering down Route 66 sipping sodas with crushed ice and blasting Prince tunes, but honestly we’ve probably spent the last 48 hours hot, bored, paranoid about the dog and turtle, and slowly beginning to hate each other. ROAD TRIPS ARE FUN. Someone just needs to convince my husband of that.
