Rachel Profiling

Hello, I'm Rachel.

Writer/editor. New Mexican tumbleweed blown east to skyscraper country.

Right now, I am working on a book about F. Scott Fitzgerald, Sheilah Graham, and Hollywood in the 1930s. It will also contain a lot of drinking, powder blue suits, dances at the Cocoanut Grove, betrayal, gossip columns, crazy ladies, secret Jews, film lot moguls, and Dorothy Parker quips at funerals. If the world is still around then, it should be out from Random House around 2014. So let's hope the Mayans were wrong.

If you want to say hi please do. Or find me in short form, here.

I feel like this new Tumblr dashboard layout makes every post seem a lot more important—big and important—and is therefore a little intimidating at first. But then, maybe it will make people become more thoughtful and selective about their content or what they choose to repurpose from others. Maybe?

In the meantime, going into preferences and electing to not show full-size photos really helps take away the overwhelming factor. For me, anyways.
