Finished my MFA at Emerson. Two seizures, a new puppy, my wife’s cancer (she’s in remission), and a thesis drawn from Letters to My Mother’s Killer. The book’s still in progress, but the degree is done. I’m tired and proud.

Many people say that #writing is something you do alone. I beg to differ. We have #editors, #publishers, and most of all our #writingbuddies. <3

There comes a time when #realmen (ones who respect women) have to stand up more for #womensrights. We cannot let time go backward. The only way to survive is through it. We all have a #mother.

I grew up idolizing #neilgaiman. I'm even an MFA student in writing. I was always told I have dark humor down pact. However, I'm devastated. I believe the #women over him. I cannot condone myself to buy or support him again. In the same way, I will not support #jkrowling and her transphobic issues.
