Today, I got up all bright and peppy excited for a day of submitting my work. I labored for hours over my lists of places to submit and realized I don't know where I fit. I've published some amazing stuff in mediocre ways, and I have work I'm proud of that no one has seen.... Continue Reading →

Sabotage
It's crazy to me how promptly my psyche starts to sabotage any amount of success I experience. I self-published a book last night, and almost immediately the chorus began.

Ice ash
She spoke one word and the blood in my veins turned to ice hot ash. I stopped breathing and everything that I've ever done twirled through my brain. Is she mad about my every secret? She has no right to judge me! How could she do this to me? Why is she such a bitch?... Continue Reading →
Come to Me
The darkness was supposed to have lifted. And maybe it did. But I could not see it because I was still screaming. In the fetal position on the floor with my hands covering my eyes and my ears. Screaming like no one has ever heard someone scream before. Feeling every tendril of despair wrapping around... Continue Reading →
Mind your own damn business!
So I had an interesting experience today. An old man on a plane I was on came up to me at baggage claim and asked if he could talk to me. So Creepy! So I said no, because that's weird! So he gets all close up to me and tells me that I need a... Continue Reading →
