Check out the latest entry in my friend Kelcey Parker‘s series “How to Become a Writer.” I met Jamie Poissant when he came to Miami for a reading a couple months ago, and you’ll never meet a nicer, more down-to-earth person. Plus his writing is fantastic in every…

  • Sprint Week Story: “The Ghost and I Watched the Sky Fall Together”

    Well, dear Readers, Sprint Week is over! I had an awesome time working with and learning from Kelcey Parker this week, and I think I got some good ideas out of it. I’m excited about the prospects this new knowledge and outlook (story=structure) will have on my writing. I promised that I would post the…
