Writer with a day job. Words in NYT, WaPo, Hypertext, Catapult, DAME, McSweeney’s IT and other places. Working on books at glacial pace. Here for talk about books, writing and health.
Just 3 weeks until #AWP25 in L.A. I know some writers feel it’s the wrong time for a conference given the multi-community devastation from the wildfires. I think a lot of attendees will be finding opportunities to help while there. And, writers need writers. We hold each other up.

Aaaaaand you can’t fix typos after you post on this app, I have learned.

Just finished reading White Noise, written 40 years ago by the Nostradamus-like Don DeLillo. It’s brilliance (the language! the metaphors!) has influenced my next pick off the ole TBR pile: @sonyahuber.bsky.social’s craft book Voice First. Happy Sunday!

CFS/ME has hindered my ability to read. One joy I’ve kept is reading flash non-fiction. It’s manageable for my brain and body, and oversized in what it gives my heart. Please tell me some of your favorite pieces.
