I’ve been spending more time with my other cat, Cookie, but we both understand that it’s really just a rebound relationship. Since he died last year, things haven’t been quite the same.

My favorite bubble-word is probably de-vicious, which can be loosely translated to modern teen-speak as “ hot.” My blog is dedicated to my personal hiding spot, books. That just seemed like the obvious answer.)īubble World largely takes place in a kind of alternate reality, I made up an alternate teen lingo to go with it: utterly, fizzy, noxious, scrummy.

Writing was just a small part of my job, but the business forced me to think about “audience” for the first time. “I’m not opinionated, I’m just always right” - yeah, that was me. I was the assistant to the president at a company that made T-shirts with funny sayings. Yes, I will regret that forever.) But my first job out of college probably influenced my writing the most. Among other things, I was a hotel chambermaid, a tour guide at a fire engine museum, and a secretary at an Orthodox Jewish summer camp. Through high school and college, I had all kinds of random jobs.
