ON FICTION AND FAILURE
A writer’s relationship with rejection is like that of a fish to water: it’s all that’s there.

Behold! My literary success sits at a total of 8 acceptances. Feel free to read them below.

Not technically a submission, but! I wrote 36,000 words and filmed the whole thing study with me style. The goal was 50,000 and I was absolutely thrilled with my failure.
