Brown butcher paper with a marker drawing of an Easy Bake Oven. A sticky note heart with an arrow through it is at the top right of the image.

I’m writing on the EasyBake project again! I’m so thankful to my 2018 Summer Sisters (Emily Hill, Danielle Chelles, Cheryl Chamblee, Sharon Eisner, and Jessica Flemming) for giving me such good material to jump off with. There are several new scenes that slotted easily into the existing text, things that have gone out with the bathwater, and a gnarly little bugger about the Challenger explosion, 9/11, and a child playing soccer in Gaza that is just too sad to fit anywhere. I guess I’ll just have to keep writing to find a home for it, because I know it belongs here within the theme of lost play.

Writing is bringing me joy these days. What brings you joy? What’s your Easybake?
