The Physicalness of Things

I'm in bed this morning, cradling a heating pad and trying to ignore my body. I've had a lot of musculoskeletal pains over the years, along with some other surprises as I've aged.

I Know, I Know, I Know

I KNOW I'm vague about my unpublished work--which is all of it. I know I don't share much personal information about myself. I know I freeze up when someone I'm not familiar with sends me a DM on Twitter. I know I sometimes sound like a buffoon and other times I sound like a know-it-all. … Continue reading I Know, I Know, I Know →
