Just made a folder in my Google Drive called, β€œThings I Wrote That I Didn’t Realize Were Good At The Time”

My short story "Good Morning Person" was recently published in BULL, and this acceptance was super cool, esp after two very rough writing years. Editor Ben had such nice things to say about my story. I hope you like it, too

Sometimes all we’re left with in life is the comfort of a nonjudgmental pancake. Thanks to Jenn and Chris and the @xraylitmag.bsky.social team for publishing my tiny fiction piece

I joined The Good Life Review nonfiction team in March, and I'm excited to report that we were named one of the Best Nonfiction Lit Mags of 2024 by the Chill Subs community. Thrilled and grateful for the support- TGLR is so deserving of recognition. (Also, submissions are open through 1-21!)

The junk folder is so endlessly fascinating, like how did the Clif Bars class action lawsuit find me

I’m not trying to brag, but the next date for writing group with @jesslovett.bsky.social and @ashleyespinoza.bsky.social was initiated through psychic dream connection

Floating Baby Day I started out the morning feeling confident in my new floral jumpsuit, and by the end of the day, I was naked and giving birth. Right here on Angela’s carpet. I’m glad I was birthing in her office …

One thing I try to do when I engage with the people in my life is to make sure they know I value them and uplift them for who they are, not for the value they provide to me. I want to be even better at doing that, but honestly, it's my number one goal of friendship and relationships

I love it when music creates a conflicting vibe in a space! I will never forget sitting in the doctors office a few years back while Eric Clapton’s Cocaine was playing lol
