My first ever fiction publication went live on the @havehashad.com site five years ago today! The piece got a crazy amount of likes and reshares on a certain social media website that is no longer fun! One of my favorite authors shared it! www.havehashad.com/hadposts/how...

Know I told you it was okay to leave me. Why'd you believe me? You always believed me.

Good morning and happy April! 11 days left to submit something for our seventh issue! #writingcommunity #poetry #submissionsopen

I love Diane Seuss.
