Yeah, it's the same with my mom who immigrated the other way (UK to US).

It choked me up a bit, because it reminded me of the blessing Xavier got in the hospital. It said that he had seen miracles and would see miracles. I don't know what miracles he had seen. And while we didn't get the miracle we wanted, we did have miracles in those 3 months before he passed.

The thumbnail for the podcast. It says "Discussing the 14th Annual Mormon Lit Blitz with William Morris author of 'A Ward House Stirring'". It has a photo of William Morris - a white man with glasses, thinning hair, and a short white beard. The Mormon Lit Lab logo sits in the bottom left corner.

I have started a new project where I interview finalists from the latest Mormon Lit Blitz. Today, the first podcast went live. I discuss "A Ward House Stirring" with William Morris. You can find it on my YouTube channel, on The Mormon Lit Lab Podcast, and the transcript on Mormon Lit Lab website.

and--idk quite how to articulate this--but the work of it is... critical to art-making. like you discover your intentions through the labor of expressing them. if I'd woken up at 17 with the technical ability to write a novel, i wouldn't have known what i was trying to say. the work IS the product.

Acceptance day! My poem "Rameumptum of Grief" will appear in the fall issue of Exponent II.

Both of my sons loved playing Undertale. After the younger passed away a year and a half ago, whenever I miss him, I play the Undertale soundtrack and remember his struggle with Undine or his dancing to Megalovania.

I found this post super useful because it BOTH had a reminder AND a link 😂 If you are a Worldcon member and have not yet voted on the Hugo Awards, you still have time, but not for much longer! (Voting ends at midnight Pacific time.)

Tell folks you appreciated their loved one that passed. It makes the grief less lonely, particularly years later when it becomes easy to think you’re the only one who remembers them. It will not make us sad, or at least not in a bad way.
