Will this memoir replace Gracie: A Love Story as the most important memoir everybody should read? I guess I’m about to find out. https://www.instagram.com/p/Ccwb_rxssHZ/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I know I’ve been posting a lot the last few days, but I’m so excited that my piece, “I Won’t Date . . . Don’t Ask Me” will be in the upcoming issue of Beyond Words!!! https://www.instagram.com/p/CcV1BewOl86/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Oof! https://www.instagram.com/p/CcQ4xCtOp_-/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I've waited literal years since my last written publication--three to be exact.  I've dabbled with photography while waiting for any of my writing to find a home somewhere.  I have received rejection upon rejection; sometimes multiple rejections per day.  Some of those rejections were for this piece.  I'm not sure I can put into words how much it means to me that Drunk Monkeys found some merit in my work.  This is a great lit mag, filled with with some of the most wonderful pop culture writing I've read in a long time, and I'm truly honored to have my writing featured in it.

I’m so excited to have a piece in this issue!

Now it’s officially finished. https://www.instagram.com/p/Cb6ZSpRM5jt/?utm_medium=tumblr

“Lose weight,” they said. “Exercise,” they said. I’ve steadily lost weight to my high school weight over the last 4 years…then I had a flippin’ heart attack. 😒

Who would have thought that a new pair of headphones and an “in the last decade release” would transport me back to 1989 when lying on my bed listening to NKOTB was best thing eight-year-old me could ever imagine? The technology has definitely created a superior listening experience, but the feels are all the same. https://www.instagram.com/p/CWpEhges94r/?utm_medium=tumblr
