So, this week was pretty amazing.

Nimona is only the 4th graphic novel to be a National Book Award finalist - and I’m the youngest finalist ever (or so they tell me). My parents and my sisters flew to New York to celebrate with me, I got a medal, and I got to dress like a fancy vampire - so it was pretty much perfect?? Nimona didn’t take home the top prize, but it was such an honor for my book to make it as far as it did. And dig that shiny sticker!!

So proud of the life this little comic has had, online and off. Thank you to everyone who’s followed me over the years, who read and supported Nimona when it was online, or read and supported the book. I never dreamed any of this was even possible but you all helped it happen ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️

“I was killed when I was 27”: the curious afterlife of Terence Trent D’Arby

Terence Trent D’Arby’s 1987 debut album sold a million copies in three days. The music press went mad for him. Where was there to go but down?

So. Happy. !!!!!!!!

Love me some Bernie, but you know my heart belongs to Hill. I’ve waited my entire life for this moment. Maybe I need a tee shirt that says, “I support Bernie, but I’ll vote for Hillary.” 

I wanted to give Bernie my $, but I’ve been a bit more reticent with Hill outside of the essential buttons, indoctrinating tee shirts for the kids, and a baseball cap. So, I guess not so reticent. BUT. BUT!!! Have you seen the cute Hillary sweatshirt and enamel pin just asking for some jean jacket cuteness? And the Fish’s Eddy Hillary mug?

This is as close to a style post as you will ever get from me.

By the way, a must listen--LOVED this podcast the Another Round Ladies did with HRC. Listen.

In case you had no internet in the past week. Bernie/Larry David. You’re welcome.

My Big Ambition was to do Nothing

Question: When your friends said they wanted to be writers, what did you want to be instead? What did you think you could do? Deborah Eisenberg: I didn’t think I could do anything and my big ambition was to do nothing. But, of course, the matter of supporting myself did intrude.
