Ack! I really don’t like the new Tumblr post format. It makes it too easy to post to the wrong blog!
California-native, femme writer, theorist and feminist who likes pretty things. Bloodstream of ink, lyric heartbeat. I queer everything.

Thank you so much to all the people that decided my blog was worth following today. Each new follower has made me smile, but today especially with so many in one day. I now have 76 followers, many of whom I don’t know in person. I’m curious, what made YOU decide to follow me, or read one of my posts? What do or don’t you like? Do you have a favorite theme I post about, or does something confuse you? Drop a line in my Ask box.

Curious Confessions of a Cleis Press Intern: My Day with Kate Hopper
Phew! The last few weeks went by in such a blur that I only just collected my thoughts about it (some of the fog may have had to do with the impending cold that hit a day later).
Wednesday morning before the Twitter party I did some last minute inviting on Twitter, Facebook, and my own blogs….

"Use Your Words" Twitter Party w/ Kate Hopper
Hi, friends, family, followers, and supporters! I’ll be helping host this Twitter party on Aug 1st as part of my internship at Viva Editions and Cleis Press, and I’d love if you joined in to support me and this wonderful book. I’ve read most of Use Your Words: A Writing Guide for Motherhood and think it’s super helpful and funny, with fresh ideas about writing about motherhood and sharing the little things of life. And there will be prizes for the attendees who bring along the most guests. Best of all, you don’t have to go anywhere, just log into your Twitter account and follow the hashtag #UseYourWordsBook! This is the first Twitter party I’ve organized and I’m super excited to see how it turns out.
I know some of you are not mothers or never plan to be, but I think this book still has valuable advice for anyone with a writerly inclination, no matter their gender or feelings about motherhood. I think you each might have some sort of insight or smart comment to input into the conversation and I’d love it if you could make it! :) I’ve listed the most important information below and you can go to the Facebook event link for more details. Hope to see you there!
When: Wednesday, August 1st, from 2-3pm
Where: Twitter, at #UseYourWordsBook
Guest: Author Kate Hopper!
You can find out more about the event and prizes here: https://www.facebook.com/events/188613324603508/
If you happen to be in the San Francisco Bay Area, after the Twitter party you can join Kate Hopper at Good Vibrations’ “Mommies Playdate” at their Polk Street location: http://www.facebook.com/events/347940841951630/

Curious Confessions of a Cleis Press Intern: Do you copy?
My newest post from my internship at Cleis Press.
Week 3 at Cleis and ”research” is taking on new meaning. To me, research has always meant work and often headaches and rounds of scurrying around the internet searching for that choice quote or word that will make the final piece glitter in the sun like a vampire from Twilight—but at Cleis,…

Another update from my life as an editorial intern at Berrett-Koehler. See what it takes to tell an author their manuscript didn’t make the cut!
…hint, it’s hell…

I can’t believe I forgot to share this until now! I’ve been interning in the Editorial Dept. at Berrett-Koehler Publishers in SF since January. One of the requirements is to blog about my experiences while working there. Check it out, leave me comments.
If for nothing else, I’ve posted a hilarious picture of my cat, Lionel.

Hi, ya’ll! Thanks for all the reblogging, following, and favoriting. This has to have been one of my favorite class projects, ever.
So, the thing is, our class is over and thus the project (which is why we’ve been on hiatus since December). But I loved contributing to this blog and reading everything my group posted, it looks like many other folks do too, so I was wondering if any of you were interested in being a regular contributor so we can keep it going. Any takers?
Also, if there is enough interest, I may open it up to submissions? Let me know via message or comment!
Can’t wait to hear from you!
~Ashley
