writer friends! I’m attempting to resurrect a craft essay about space and silence in fiction that I stayed years ago. I have a lot of canonical examples, but I’d love some ideas of recent fiction that “pauses” the plot as the prose continues. Any ideas? #writers #fictioncraft #amwriting

Christ, the Crystal Waters piece, and its parallels to the story of someone I used to know, absolutely broke me.
Addiction’s a hell of an affliction, and it ran very different courses in our respective lives.
I’m fucking grateful for where i landed and the people who held me through it.

SO many good songs left to choose from. I wanted Madonna or PM Dawn or TLC or Whitney F*ing Houston! But I think I’ll pitch an extracurricular on Crystal Waters “Gypsy Woman,” as it’s my strongest essay idea. Join me! Someone HAS to do Whitney.
So here is your 64 lottery picks with their song choices updated as they come in. Congratulations to those who got lucky in the lottery this year! Those who didn't: pitch us EXTRACURRICULARS! We start running essays in September/October.
