Published on Medium: After a rough day, a meltdown, or a tantrum over a splattered scoop of strawberry ice cream, I take my daughter’s hands and remind her that she has an amazing superpower: at any moment, she can choose to change.
Norman Turrell’s Points of Possibility was my first audio book review and my first anthology review. I wasn’t sure what to expect. After putting on my headphones and pushing play, I closed my eyes and listened to the first scene. By minute two, I was hooked. Points of Possibility is the best work of science fiction I have read this year.
Published on Intrinsick Magazine: The buttered body of Christ bathed in Sunday sunlight upon a polished silver platter. I dropped the crystal cover on the vestry floor and stifled a cough. Dust stuck to the spines of old hymnals, the abandoned robes of dead choir members, and a set of forgotten advent angels.

For me, I’ve done a little deviation from your good advice: as a rule, i don’t outline in the normal sense of the word. I normally outline on the fly, but I also write a bullet point outline. I don’t edit as I write (too time consuming)
As for practicing, I did the bulk of my practicing by blog writing for the past 10 years. I also had a short story blog for awhile, which I managed to get good writing advice from other writers.
