@marykarrlit I still can see her Arkansas red dirt covered legs in that scene. And oh that lemon (or green persimmon) squeezing between her legs. Oh the image makes me wanna go to the bathroom now! That’s the power of storytelling.

I had a writing instructor at @gothamwriters who used to always say ‘hopes, dreams, and fears’. Give all your characters hopes, dreams, and fears. Sometimes the simple dreams are all you need.

Do I know anyone in Kingston or NYC who has a cassette tape player I can borrow for an hour or so? Doing research on my book and need to listen to some old tapes. 📻💥

I just taught 10th grade English and had an eraser thrown at my head. Honestly what teachers these days have to deal with…I can’t even. This day has been too much. I’m getting ice cream.
