I may or may not have a short story featuring this setting coming out this year from a dream pub 🤭 Centralia is sick as hell
Hi perhaps you would like a little break from the news in the form of an essay about my trip to Centralia, Pennsylvania, the town that’s been on fire since 1962—a place where surprisingly I found a great deal of hope, wonder, and mystery.
The Rebirth of Pennsylvania’s Infamous Burning Town
Sixty years into the fire that left the town condemned, Centralia is now a haven for wild plants and butterflies.

I’m reading THE SENTENCE by Louise Erdrich, a book club pick that I (of course) had no idea would be so pertinent several weeks after it was selected. Very upsetting how circular time is. “Minnesota goddamn” ❤️🩹

I found out yesterday that I was awarded a 2026 artist grant from the Somerville Arts Council! I will use the funding to work on my short story collection, but I also plan on creating a community project. If anyone is in the #Boston area, what type of writing activity would you be interested in?

A lot of ppl have said that it was unnecessary to have Wicked be in two parts. I used to think the same, but since re-seeing the Broadway musical, and now seeing Wicked: For Good for the first time, I highly disagree 🧵1/6
