Have you missed me? To the handful of actual people out there reading my tortured musings and silly playthroughs: I hope you have.
It’s hard to make a life as a writer. I don’t often get paid (or paid much) for it. But it’s a compulsion.
Since my last post, I’ve published an essay about curriculum transparency bills in Wisconsin for Tone Madison. They even had an illustrator, Andrew Mulhearn, design a custom cover image. Tone is a local, independent magazine. Follow them.
I’ve also done a fair amount of reporting for WORT 89.9 FM Madison. Listen to my interview with journalist Sarah McCammon about what it’s like growing up in the white evangelical church. I’m also proud of two news reports I wrote and produced covering the UW–Madison student protests against the war on Gaza: here and here.
Catch me over at Goodreads where I post some light lit crit of contemporary fiction. And over on Substack, I’m still publishing Dungeons and Dragons adventures that I co-write with my pal, Nicole.
Gone are the days when email newsletters had a link round-up. But I’ll leave you with one non-fiction suggestion: an essay series from DIRT and Lit Hub called “The Myth of the Middle Class Writer.” This essay on the conspicuous absence of money matters in contemporary literary fiction was my favorite in the series. But don’t pass up reading, “In Service: Writers on Making Ends Meet in the Service Industry.”
TLDR: I’ve let several blogs die in the past. But not this one! She’s going to live.
