My first time in Washington, D.C. was in the summer. I can’t quite remember what year it was. Possibly 2012, just before I graduated from UCF. Regardless, my best friend joined me on another adventure to go to an audition, and my cousin graciously hosted us for 48 hours. I was up and awake forContinueContinue reading “Wanderlust: Washington, D.C., Summer”

Lopsided Moon by Johnlmalone
From the Drabble’s feed. A beautiful poem that I wanted to share with everyone. By Johnlmalone The bus shelter at the end of our street grinds its teeth at night. Sometimes I sit with it, hold its hand, listen to its tale of drunks and suicides, of lycanthropes baying at the full moon, of lostContinueContinue reading “Lopsided Moon by Johnlmalone”
The Benefits of Diverse Reading
Lately, I’ve made a much more conscious effort at reading diversely. We chose The Paper Menagerie by Ken Liu for my cousins’ book club. I read Krik? Krak! by Edwidge Danticat for the 2018 Madlibs reading challenge. And for my book club at work with my coworkers, we’re reading Who Fears Death by Nnedi Okorafor.ContinueContinue reading “The Benefits of Diverse Reading”

Sharing from The Drabble
“Bridges mean nothing to those with wings…” love that line! By D.F. Parizeau In the silence between hurricanes, expired passports and paper planes, I’ve spent too many days contemplating my retreat; bridges mean nothing to those with wings. The pain of leaving sits crimson in my chest. Must I fall before first flight? Skin rawContinueContinue reading “Sharing from The Drabble”

So, when does that leave time for writing? The answer is virtually never, and it kind of eats at me sometimes. There are some nightsContinueContinue reading “Dealing With Imposter Syndrome as a Writer”
