This is worth every penny. Matt is such a careful and perceptive reader—he asked questions I hadn’t considered and helped me figure out what my story was really about…which made revising so much easier. He made me a better writer!

Unexpectedly, my mother passed away on 7/22. But more than just my mother passed away. ❤️ I've written a memorial to both of my parents and their marriage. I believe they are now in a place where they finally feel safe to open their hearts and let love in.

Are there any tax write offs/incentives for people who might gift me a writing space? There’s an office building in my town and I would love to have space there for FREE. Are there any tax breaks for the owners if they would donate the space to me?

Sometimes you get all the things done you are supposed to do and sometimes you write a weird little story about a dead body instead.

For my own reading pleasure (and research) I’m compiling a list of short stories (and flash fictions) about road trips. Of course there’s Flannery O’Connor’s “A Good Man…” but what else is out there?
