Weekly Update 23

Hello everyone! This week I am writing to you from a condo in Galveston, Texas. This is a very familiar vacation destination for my family. First let me update you on what you want to know: 25 rejections now. What a milestone, I am very excited. Can you tell?

Next, I wanted to tell you that next week I will be on a cruise headed to Mexico, so my next blog will be a first: a scheduled upload! Crazy, I know.

Aside from my vacation, I decided to make this update very special because this month is Pride Month. I was looking at other authors and seeing the controversy surrounding them about stuff they said years ago and I had the idea to set the record straight at the beginning of my career.

I support LGBTQ+ people and organizations. I had a whole list of things I wanted to say, but that sums it up. Just in case anyone misunderstands, I will give you a shortened version of the list:

I support gender-affirming care for children and adults, I support trans people and rights, I support gay and lesbian people and rights, I love everyone under the rainbow, you could say.

In my work, I hope to represent these peoples to the best of my abilities through interviews, research, and reflective understanding and growth.

If any of this offends you, I don’t think we can be friends. Sorry if that is a little harsh, but that is how I feel.

Well, that is it! I will see you all next week in the form of an automated upload!
