This week is submit to contests week. Most writing contests only want work that hasn't been published before and it's also a challenge to find a lit mag hosting a contest who hasn't shot down the story I want to enter. I bookmarked 20, have only found 1 I can enter so far. 🙄

I've been trying to write more memoir sort of pieces. I kept a journal off & on from age 12ish through my mid 20s. Over time (and a huge Covid purge in '20), I've thrown them out. I had a hard time writing personal stuff, (maybe b/c I wasn't able to confide in my mother) #thread 🧵

Hi y'all! I am kindasortamaybe buzzing. Ran errands this morning (ha, ok, went looking for nintendo 3ds games) and am now safely at home. Will probably stay home tomorrow. Not much going on. Cubs on road til next Friday, so ......

Hi, y'all. Still here. Same shit, different day. Cats heard a mouse scampering around the oven the other day. Baseball season ends next month. And there is 98 more days until I'm back in Vegas for a writing conference. But the big countdown is 44 more days until my birthday.
