Recently witnessed this with my 15yo cousin. He sent me lyrics to a song he “wrote.” In the past, a 15yo would pick up a guitar, write a song about their high school crush. It would be bad, but would be theirs. My cousin used AI, and I had to explain how this song was not his.

For this draft I’m digging into the character I know the least with the goal of expanding and deepening her character. So far it feels like I’m peeling back layers of aluminum, one jagged layer at a time. #amrevising #writerslife

Submitted a short story to a lit mag for the first time in years. #WritingCommunity #writinglife

Working on a short story I haven’t touched in a month. Lines I thought didn’t work work well; lines I thought worked need work. But overall the form is solid.

Working on an 8-page single sentence, my longest to date. #writing #WritingCommunity

My interview with University of San Francisco MFA department. We talk about the amazing work we’re doing at Four Leaf Collective.

Woke up to a short story acceptance. The first of the year. Hopefully more to come. Nice way to start the day.

Sent in the edits. In a few weeks I’ll know when my story will be published

I really like it when I wake up to a rejection for a story I pulled because it’s being published somewhere else
