I woke up to some surprising and great news this morning. A short story I wrote has been accepted by Sick Lit Magazine! Writing this story was a big leap out of my comfort zone and the fact that Kelly Fitzharris Coody (Sick Lit’s publisher) wants to publish it, puts me over the moon. I will post a link when the story is up on her site, but I wanted to share the news!

Yes!!! See why I always hang on to hope?

You are hope my friend!!! You embody it, which is not to say you have to be hopeful for everyone else all of the time. You and your writing are leading me into a more hopeful space!

I appreciate that, I really do. But if you are walking to a more hopeful space, we are walking there together. I am not leading you.
