I’m sorry but beer is NASTY. 😷 Ugh! How y’all do it?

Talked to my mom over the weekend, and she said this piece was like reading a long poem and that it should be more widely read. I am a good son, so I’ll try the algorithmic gods one more time. underthesunlitmag.com/the-sadness-of…

Oh, and another one that opens for submissions on 1 August: the The Iowa Review

Ya’ll ready to hear this “final” word count? 😅

For the Monday/new week crowd! Latest story is up in Blue Mountain Review and it's one that I noodled on for a good 1.5 years before getting a strong first draft down. If you read, I hope you enjoy!

My “story” is currently at 20,174 words! I’m not finna say a WORD to Danielle ‘cause I need to see this all the way through. 😅🙏🏽

Was supposed to work on 20k+ Word Bae this morning but instead I think I’ll eat breakfast early, and clean… 🙃

Actually, if you clean + listen to a writing podcast + think about your wip, while listening to a writing podcast, while cleaning? THAT counts as writing!!!

I am decently traveled enough to say this—Mississippi has some of the most delicious, and I have to emphasize this, most cost effective food you’ll ever have the pleasure to eat. And that goes from gas stations, to bbq/fish spots, to upscale restaurants.

It’s Thursday, friends! Aka PRE-FRIDAY! 🤗

Didn’t write today but I DID write cards to send to friends so there’s that. 😇Writing is also in the living and the loving, I believe. 💚

Plum-Cherry wine in-progress! 🤗
