#DeptofCongrats: Short Story Incubator Graduate @LesleyMOConnell's essay "Miles and Music" was published in @contrary. She is grateful for the guidance and inspiration of instructor @ethanfreak and thanks her devoted writing groups. ✍ ow.ly/jbiK50MucCm
I’m pleased to share that my essay about my dad and driving and music has been published in @contrary contrarymagazine.com/2023/miles-and…
The fact that 2020 was a hard year bears no repeating. We’ve all lost so much. In big ways and small. Our favorite people. Our sense of normalcy. Our bearings. But here we are. At the edge of a new calendar year that glimmers with hope. Keep on keeping on, my friends.
I love holiday pop songs. The cheesier the better. There, I said it. #guiltypleasures
This makes me very happy. I have tried my hardest to help business reopen safely. I have not eaten inside a restaurant since March, this restaurant will get my business when I get back to RI. Congratulations on doing it right, Pot au Feu! providencejournal.com/foodanddining/…
Amanda Kloots’ husband died of Covid at age 41. x.com/skye3411/statu…
Thanks for putting things in perspective, Trump. It really helps me process my father’s death from COVID. I hope the relatives and friends of the more than 200,000 Americans feel the same.
So thrilled that Psychopomp Magazine published my story “What the Children Left Behind,” and grateful to be in such talented company.

Reinventing Grief in an Era of Enforced Isolation | The New Yorker newyorker.com/magazine/2020/… Thank you, @laurenzcollins, for this beautiful essay on grief during a pandemic. I lost my father on April 10, so this resonated so much.

I fell in love with Toni Morrison through Beloved (thanks to a most excellent teacher who helped unpack its richness), and hung on her words ever since. Morrison was a master and an inspiration.
Tfw your 2.5-year-old requests Bruce Springsteen. “Alexa, play ‘Tenth Avenue Freeze-Out’” #proudmama @DebFilcman: we’re training him well.
Still buzzing from a fantastically invigorating and inspirational week at @FAWCCapeCod with @lvandenberg. Can’t wait to get back to the page.
The National’s new album is exquisite. Loving the added female voices and other fun stuff. I could listen for days.
What’s the appropriate amount of cheese samples one should sample? Especially if it’s gourmet delicious. Asking for a friend.
Four days out and I’m still bursting with inspiration from #Muse19. Thanks for an unforgettable weekend @GrubWriters and especially @SonyaLarson. Riding the momentum and writing and reading like crazy.
“Children Are Magic,” by @natalieserber and featured in @onestorymag, made me laugh and cry and everything in between. What a fresh story about motherhood and all its complexities.
“We should write as if we’ll get executed in the morning, because the only way to do it is to write the truth and not worry about the consequences.” Just one of the gems from Andre Dubus III at #muse19
Love this interview! Especially that Amy Hempel continues to be a champion of the short short, and has a brilliant compromise for purging books: keeping the inscription page.

Truly though I don’t think the Bad Art Friend ethics questions are about art at all, they’re about how to handle the dynamics of a situation where one person thinks a relationship is a friendship and the other doesn’t.
I’m getting sick of clarifying the same things, so 1. Dawn pitched this article to the NYT herself. 2. She was not part of our writing group or friend group. I met her once. Most of us didn’t know her well (if at all). I’d never heard anyone mention her name before this.
I was commissioned to create and lead a 5-day workshop with 12 women writers I deeply admire. We begin tomorrow. I'm so excited and honored and can't wait. #wordfishers

The first one-term president in thirty years, and the only one to lose the popular vote twice. Congrats on making history, @realDonaldTrump.
I vague-posted about getting my white whale last month. I'm thrilled to say @onestorymag picked up on of my stories. I couldn't be more thrilled. I adore this mag! It's worth noting, I've been submitting to them for 14 years, racking up 41 rejections. Persistence wins!
