Let’s say you have a huge party on Saturday night, or no party at all. You’re in love, or out of love. You love your job or maybe you absofuckinglutely hate it. Regardless, on Sunday nights, you need to binge-watch TV and you need to do it NOW. The problem is choosing the right show. [...]

I wasn’t sure if I liked Pinterest at first. It seemed to be a lot of girls screaming ‘I LIKE STRIPES’. And I really do like stripes. But then I started making boards, and following people like Joanna Goddard and Samantha Hahn and Le Fashion and Anna Hoffman, people with immaculate taste who know what [...]

I was emailing with a newish author (well, newer than me, and I’ve only been a little teeny tiny author for about three years, so whatevs, as people born in the 90s say) the other day and she said how there’s very little on the internet for new authors.

Okay, ladykats (and gentlemankats). I need your help. We’re trying to name my new book series. And it’s HARD. Naming a book is like coming up with a new name for your best friend. You know your friend so well – how can you possibly pick a name that sums up everything they mean to [...]
