My new problem is that Fishsticks is at 68,232 words now of the 75,000 I need… but it’s… no where near done. 

This book is going to need a lot of trimming. They won’t read anything past 75k in this summer’s WIFYR workshops. 😐

I told Aaron that I was going to just start playing my ukulele whenever anyone says something stupid to me, and he said that I would be a master right quick.

my fav linguistic trend is how younger ppl use “like” to signify paraphrasing and how older ppl dont get it. i’ll say something along the lines of “he was like, ‘fuck off!’” and any older person in the vicinity will be like “did he really say that??” no i was paraphrasing, hence the use of “like” instead of “said.” try to keep up, sandra

@anyahatesbunnies kidnapped me today to get me out of my apartment for a while. We went to an occult shop and to Hobby Lobby and it was great. 

“Wait what?” some readers ask, skeptical and confused. “An occult shop?”

To which I reply, “Yes, of course. It was helpful for research and I enjoy speaking to the staff there. They’re always full of positive energy. Plus I picked up a neato pack of Pirate tarot cards!”

“You do tarot???” The confusion continues to mount, along with mixed concern. “But Gab, I thought you were good/innocent/etc!”

“Those aren’t mutually exclusive,” I explain, and offer a sort of sad smile. Because the bad rap that exploring other cultures and ideas and philosophies is really upsetting. “I have three tarot decks now, but I don’t really know how to use any of them. Still, they’re pretty, and very interesting.”

Besides, they were having a special on readings- $10 for 10 minutes -and I spoke to a very nice gentleman about animal totems and spirit guides. It was a great conversation. He guessed two of the three animals that I dream about most often, as well as one that I have always had an affinity for but haven’t talked about. Then he said that he could definitely see (assuming that I work out my own spiritual journey) me on the other side of the table in a couple of years, doing energy and spiritual healing work. 

This is not the first time that this has been said to me by a reader. Cori said that I should quit my job and become a psychic, but I think I’ll stick to story-telling. 

At Hobby Lobby, I bought pipe cleaners that will be perfect for re-tailing some of my Calico Critters. I almost bought a fake book with an Ace of Spades motif for my Shinichi to stand on, but instead I settled for a charm in the shape of an owl/key.
