It's been a couple years, but it's still really special to me to have been in The First Line; it's one of the first journals I ever submitted work to when I started my writing career :)

Imposter syndrome makes creating in any capacity really difficult, and I'd be lying if I said it wasn't getting to me. It's hard being a writer and trying not to compare oneself to everyone else who's got book deals and high-caliber credentials when you're tallying up rejections, yknow.

I have way too many short story concepts gnawing on my brain so I'm going to try devoting one week per idea to at least get rough drafts moving (and hopefully stop feeling overwhelmed)

Taking a morning to edit some pieces at my favorite local cafe and the vibes are immaculate
Fleetwood Mac on the speakers, blueberry muffin, big matcha latte, and foggy drizzle out the window 🥰 (now I just need to wrangle three short stories under control!)

I'm in between projects, so it's as good a time as any to reread my favorite book on #writing craft, "Writing Tools" by Roy Peter Clark. I've had this copy since 2011 when my high school English teacher gave it to me and it's been my mainstay for all these years💚
