From scribbling stories on my nightstand to work at Detroit Metro Times, @HuffPost, Multiplicity Magazine, @TodayShow @DeepWildJournal, @BrightFlash1000 & ....
Thank you @HuffPost for giving my essay a home & to @noahmichelson for approaching my words with such care. It's always hard sharing some of dad's story, but hope his profound words may be able to help others. ❤️

Honored that @HuffPost included my 2023 essay in their "Best of" Series and shared it again! More importantly, I'm glad dad's words of wisdom continue to help people ❤️

Excited to share this new micro piece about nostalgia - rediscovering old music you used to love, and the moments it takes you back to. Thank you @Greatlakesrev for publishing my piece!
I bought a ticket that morning. Life had been changing and I needed to tether myself to something familiar.

The #WritingCommmunity has been, and is, invaluable. Not sure what will happen to it here, but joined the 🦋 app - same handle - and would love to connect with other writers, lit mags, etc. there as well to keep this digital kinship going ❤️
Rejection is part of writing. I've gotten some very nice, personal ones & just got my first that provided thoughtful feedback as well. Editors are swamped & can't always do this, but I swear every time they can, an angel gets its wings
@emilyfmaloney Preach! Every time there is an article about a pet gator getting loose or being dumped in some pond in IL or home in MI it's just nope, nope, nope
@chrissyfarr A PR toolkit must! For subject lines, I've used a headline of a recent article of theirs w/ something like Inquiry/Follow up. Body text addresses a thought on that piece directly, then gives broader ideas/background for future engagement
@realgirl_fieri Sorry to hear about your father! And, oof, I feel this. Lost mine at 30. Everyone asked how my mom, now the widow, & brother were doing. I just got "you're so strong." Um, because people weren't giving me space to be otherwise 🫠
