Professionally nervous.
By day I build community for educators, by other parts of the day I try to put my fiction MFA to good use. Currently querying an adult fantasy novel about witches and motherhood.

Audio is the original storytelling medium, and text is a pale imitation. All this punctuation is trying its hardest to replicate the subtleties of speech in your mind as it would have been translated by voice, with only partial success.
