I've been in Winter Olympics mode all month. Now that they're done it's like I'm climbing out of a cave, blinking at the light, realizing I need to re-learn how to consume non-Olympic media
I wrote 11,000 words in the past 36 hours and unexpectedly finished the novel I've been working on since October. Totally crap draft. I really went in with an incomplete vision. But heyyyy that's what revision is for, right? Right???
My short story, "Kid Disappeared," was published by The Lascaux Review after being selected as a finalist for their 2025 Lascaux Prize in Flash Fiction! Give it a read! https://t.co/SaivAYYJXA
(I'll share links to both once they're published. In the meantime, here's me and my water bottle of iced boxed wine enjoying some writing time on the rooftop.)
I got great writing news two days in a row! New Ohio Review accepted my short story "Trick of the Light" and will be publishing it in December. The next day, I learned that my flash fiction piece "Kid Disappeared" was a finalist for the Lascaux Prize in Flash Fiction! Cheers!
My short story "Opener Weekend" was published in issue #30 of Fourteen Hills last summer (and I'm just getting around to sharing it now, whoops!) I'm so happy my deer-hunting-murder-plot story found a home in such an amazing journal! 🦌

I just heard Johnny Cash say that when Jimmie Rodgers was dying, many "friends, hobos, and entertainers" gathered to be with him. This is how I will be addressing crowds from now on
I just finished a huge revision of a novel I wrote in 2017 and have revised several times since 2022. The draft is rough as heck but I feel great about it anyway. The story has an actual shape now! There are movements and motivations! No more pulling my punches, I tell ya what
