Trying this writing thing. Started with scribbling stories on my nightstand as kid, to publishing essays and pieces in Huffington Post, TodayShow.com, Deep Wild Journal, Bright Flash Lit, Multiplicity Magazine, Detroit Metro Times and more.

"Let it be pointless" is honestly perfect, simple advice for getting out of your own head.
Let it be pointless. It may ultimately one day serve a purpose, but it doesn't right now and no one will ever care and that's fine. This is how you start writing.

I'd love to drown in some flash CNF this weekend. Any recommendations #writingcommunity? I don't see the writer on here to tag, but here's a Brevity piece that has stuck with me & I find myself going back to: brevitymag.com/issues/jan20...

Hey there #writingcommunity! Can we start a thread of folks looking to regroup here outside of X? For reference, I mainly write CNF and personal essays, but am working on additional PB and memoir projects, and looking to experiment more in fiction and poetry!
