It's my cousin Helen Fagin's 104th birthday today. If I could be anywhere in the world right now, on a wish, I'd be with her.
This is Helen six years ago, as sprightly young 98 year old, with my then two week old son Ash.
I've told a few stories over the years of things that Helen has said or done that have affected me deeply.
And if you're wondering who she is, and why what she's done has mattered so much, please, read this article from 2008.

Do you know how hard it is to live with a cat that has the intelligence level of literally like a 3 year old but the pure chaos of a high ranking demon?
He’s learned to open the lazy Susan and won’t stop clawing open the flour and rolling in it like a little chinchilla
Criminal charges
Hey hey hey HEY
He’s been CRAWLING INTO THE BOTTOM CABINETS to TEAR OPEN THE INSTANT POTATOES and EAT BAGS AND BAGS OF THEM I’m livid but also impressed.
Do you have anything with that kind of texture that he can safely play with? This sounds like an understimulation issue.
He’s not playing with it
He’s eating it.
I can tell because the bags are nearly empty except for a few small clumps.
I knew he loves mashed potatoes. I just didn’t know the extent he’d go to to get them.
We had him tested and in the course of that vet visit he stole
6 tips
3 of the ear light cover things
Our other cats collar
the ear bud of the vets stethoscope 
several hearts
a plastic glove
the vet techs hair tie
Also yeah he’s fine he just likes to steal
Not guilty by reason of deficiency of other people’s stuff
This is his ledge
His ledge is taller then my husband who is 6’2”
I am 5’5”
I have to get the step ladder out once a week and see what Orange Sherbert has taken to his ledge for safe keeping. It’s usually the remote.
Narratively speaking, ending this saga with the reveal that his name is Orange Sherbert was a masterstroke.

happy new year everyone
The most important writing lesson I ever learned was not in a screenwriting class, but a fiction class.
This was senior year of college. Most of us had already been accepted into grad school of some sort. We felt powerful, we felt talented, and most of all, we felt artistic.
It was the advanced fiction workshop, and we did an entire round of workshops with everyone’s best stories, their most advanced work, their most polished pieces. It was very technical and, most of all, very artistic.
IE: They were boring pieces of pretentious crap.
Now the teacher was either a genius OR was tired of our shit, and decided to give us a challenge. Flash fiction, he said. Write something as quickly as possible. Make it stupid. Make it not mean a thing, just be a quick little blast of words.
And, of course, we all got stupid. Little one and two pages of prose without the barriers that it must be good. Little flashes of characters, little bits of scenarios.
And they were electric. All of them. So interesting, so vivid, not held back by the need to write important things or artistic things.
One sticks in my mind even today. The guys original piece was a thinky, thoughtful piece relating the breaking up of threesomes to volcanoes and uncontrolled eruptions that was just annoying to read. But his flash fiction was this three page bit about a homeless man who stole a truck full of coca cola and had to bribe people to drink the soda so he could return the cans to recycling so he could afford one night with the prostitute he loved.
It was funny, it was heartfelt, and it was so, so, so well written.
And just that one little bit of advice, the write something short and stupid, changed a ton of people’s writing styles for the better.
It was amazing. So go. Go write something small. Go write something that’s not artistic. Go write something stupid. Go have fun.
Stupidity is, on occasion, a true thing of beauty
Write something stupid

how to stay motivated as a writer
- Reread your old writing, especially those scenes you're most proud of
- Write something silly. It doesn’t need to be logical, consistent or included in your story. Write something dumb
- Compare your old writing to your new writing. Seeing how much you've improved can be very motivating
- Explore different storylines, those type of storylines that would never make it into your story, but you'd still like to play around with
- Choose one of your least favorite scenes and rewrite it
- Read old comments from people praising your work
- Create a playlist that reminds you of your wip
- Draw your ocs
- Don't push yourself to get back into writing the thing that made you stop writing in the first place. Write something else
- Write what you wanna write, no matter how cliché it might be. It doesn't matter, if you want to write it, write it
- Take a break, focus on another hobby of yours. Consume other pieces of media, take a walk to clear your head
- You don't have to write in chronological order from the very beginning if it isn't working for you! Sometimes a scene you aren't interested in writing can become interesting after you've explored other scenes that is connected to that one
- Read one star reviews of ''awful'' books. You'll unlock a new sort of appreciation for your own writing
- Create a new storyline, or a new character! Anything that helps bring something fresh into your story. Could even be a completely new wip!
- Not writing everyday doesn't make you a bad writer. Take a break if you feel like you need one
- Remind yourself to have fun. Start writing and don't focus all your attention on following ''the rules.'' You can get into the nitty-gritty when you’ve familiarized yourself with writing as an art. Or don’t. It's fiction, you make your own rules
- Go to sleep, or take a nap. Sleep deprivation and writing does not go hand in hand (trust me)
- Listen to music that reminds you of your characters/wip
- Remember why you started. Know that you deserve to tell the story you want to tell regardless of the skill you possess
