Me to anyone who didn't ask: "I am working on pitching great magazine stories and working on my Great American memoir in snippets of time when my three kids don't need me."

@meganstielstra Congratulations. I know you changed my writing process and that was just a talk. On Zoom. In the pandemic. I can only imagine how great your craft talks and workshops are in-person.

How y'all have headphones in and not rocking your body or singing along? Y'all listening to podcasts or what? It's a full on dance party when I take the bus.

The Bocas Lit Fest Breakthrough Fellowship Programme was immensely helpful in my manuscript development journey. Rajiv Mohabir has been a light and mentor in the process. 💡📚

My debut memoir has been written/rewritten several times. Each time a key unlocks a door I never considered - characters, voices, moods. Every thrown out idea finds its way into a short stories that whisper themselves into being during school drop-offs. Life is good.

Congrats @christinaberke. Well deserved.

The knee-jerk reactions always spell disaster but make a compelling story. Would have been better to ask the police to investigate the sharks; place them in a line-up and the biter identified.

Yesterday, videos and photos (warning: graphic!) emerged from Buccoo, Tobago of a substantial kill of a shiver of sharks. This kill occurred six days after Tobago’s Chief Secretary issued and recalled a $10,000 bounty for the capture of the shark that attacked a British national. While the head of the Tobago Fisherfolk Association says this was likely an “isolated incident” and a “mistake,” the THA has now “strongly condemned” the indiscriminate shark kill. My story, with input from marine biologists and conservationists @DivaAmon and @RyanMannette: guardian.co.tt/news/tha-conde…

I've moved away and back to Vegas then away again. I still visit and write about Las Vegas like I have part ownership of the Aces. What is it about this city that makes it so no one can ever really leave? It can't be the water.

Throw back to my MfA writing professor asking me most Thursdays what Black Twitter is talking about. He was so delightful and out of pocket. I miss that vibe and Twitter that once was.
