Just finished Not My Type by E Jean Carroll. I couldn't watch or listen to the trial when it was happening because listening to the Temu Hitler makes me nauseated. But this unfiltered, witty, gossipy, and joyful telling? FABULOUS.

Book cover for Not My Type by E Jean Carroll. Features a photo of the author wearing a white turtleneck, brown jacket, sunglasses, and a broad smile.

#ScribesAndMakers 8. Do you like baking? If so, what do you usually bake?

I do! Breads and sweets. I'm pretty famous for my challah and my banana bread which is really more like banana cake.

#Wordweavers Day 8 - Describe the sensations of one of your characters in the last scene you wrote.

Quoted paragraph: "Watching her friends talking with her daughter, teasing her about those big city men and playing up the country bumpkin Kentucky jokes, Becca found she was crying again. She was quick to wipe her eyes on the sleeves of her shirt, trying to hide her emotions, but Ro spotted it and came over and gave her a hug. “We’re all going to miss her,” she said. “Come here.” She gestured to Sherry and Izzy and soon they were all standing in the center of the kitchen wrapped up in their own babka of arms, with Becca at the center, melty as the chocolate."

(it's a romance, can you tell?)

#WritersCoffeeClub Aug 7: Have you always written, or was there a tipping point to get you to start?

I've always written, but in that dabbling, "when I feel like it" way, like a lot of AIG kids. My tipping point to take it seriously and start finishing things was my 42nd birthday. Since Douglas Adams taught me that 42 is the meaning of life, the universe, and everything, I figured I'd better stop goofing around and give it real focused effort or admit I didn't have it in me.
