It's 2020 and the pandemic has hit! OMG! If you're reading this, you've survived. So far. Now you need a laugh, or two, or seventeen. You need OMG. Join our hapless hero as she copes with the global impact of COFEVE-19, faces off monoliths and the Three White Men, insults her Nextdoor neighbors, and survives the dreaded Pee Monster. Told in journal format and written contemporaneously, OMG is a hilarious glimpse at one person's experience of 2020 and beyond. New entries on Sundays.

Author's note: I wrote this for friends starting in April, 2020 based on events in my own life, and am wondering if a wider audience will find it funny, too, given that you don't know me. Is my obsession with library books while people are dying and losing their jobs actually funny? Do I slam Trump and his minions too hard and become a [bleep] myself? Can I be trusted to tell which days are funny and which aren't (there were weeks when I was sure I had written the funniest thing ever and none of my friends responded, but on weeks when I felt bad for releasing my worst ever entry, I'd get several responses from friends who loved it)? Is the introduction of new characters more than a year in a problem (should they appear sooner)? What works for you and what doesn't? What bogged it down?All Rights Reserved
