I was so excited to meet Matthew Salesses and hear him read this evening. And now I can't go! 😭 Truly someone who changed my teaching (and writing) in profound ways. If you haven't read Craft in the Real World, you should!

Today is, apparently, not a day to create or even fake-create. Instead, I'm re-reading "Interior Chinatown" and y'all- this book gets better each time.

Last month I read "Heavy." This month I read "Long Division." I know I'm way behind y'all, but I swear Kiese Laymon has reminded me how to love books with my entire heart.

Spending a lot of today reading new (to me) work and learning and thinking about my own writing. This story from @CrystalWilki, excerpted from "The Birds of Opulence" at @oxfordamerican, is sitting deep within me this afternoon. So perfect and huge. https://main.oxfordamerican.org/magazine/item/802-sky-blood-bone-breath

Adoptee narratives in memoir are fascinating and so important. But in fiction...they're rare. Still a shock when I encounter them! Just reading this passage, seeing myself on the page, felt enormous. From Dan Chaon's "You remind me of me" https://t.co/bOqBBUaW1G

Just turned in my 1st MFA packet of the semester, with novel revisions, a short story, & a short essay. Starting a tweaked Sealey Challenge with my writing besties: a new poem every day. Reading George Saunders' A Swim In The Pond In The Rain. Feeling neck-deep in words today. πŸ’•
