So. Tim Minchin 's music means the world to me. It's inspired my own art, and kept me safe and strong through storms. Tonight I got to see him play. He finished with the whole crowd singing "Hallelujah" with him ... thank you, so much, for just being you and creating your work.

Long C*v*d sucks. A lot.

I am so excited to be included in this anthology. “Marley and Marley” will be published again!!

Hi, Twitter is going to become an "updates only" space for me.

I finished the book. I FINISHED THE BOOK.

Found a picture of where the Station was in 1904. You can’t see it though, because you’re alive. Just looks like a regular boat to me.

Found out DSF is down. I’ll need to find an archived version of “You Ask Me to Tell You a Story” to relink on the website. I also got really really exciting story news today.

In a hotel in Omaha literally facing the train yard where Windy VanHooten’s performs. I can see the trains coming in and out and it’s super cool. Pics later #thefirstbrightthing

Amazing news! My short story, "Six People to Revise You," was accepted to Uncanny Magazine !!!!!!!!! Uncanny is one of my favorites, so I am so so excited. And this story is one of my favorites, too! Eternal Sunshine x Millennial Dread(TM)
