Yesterday, my dad passed away.
He was warm, loving,
and a wryly gifted storyteller.
After it happened,
my family sat and told stories of him.
Always, he was helping people.
But making our lives
what they are today
was his greatest kindness
and the story he told with his life.

This weekend,
four months after my father,
my mother, Janice Morgan,
passed away.
She was generous, loving,
a passionate cheerleader,
an unshakable idealist
of Dickensian enthusiasm.
She left everyone she met feeling
that somehow, without even trying, they had inspired her.

This difficult week was made so much harder by the loss of poet Molly Brodak, partner of my friend Blake Butler—two artists whose work have given comfort to many.
I wish no comfort were needed today.

Pro tip: Before you send out a proposal or MS--especially if this draft has been revised--do two things:
- Make sure you've deleted all Track Changes comments, accepted changes, and turned tracking off
- Email it to a friend to confirm that emailing doesn't ruin your formatting

Don’t listen to others for a bit. Don’t give yourself concrete assignments or projects. Instead gather yr materials around you, whatever they be, and use them to meander, free-associate, pull threads that don’t need to go anywhere. Remember how good it feels to create w/o agenda.
My creative confidence is totally shot.
What would you recommend I do to rebuild it?

Isn’t all your
hatred and bigotry
exhausting?
Isn’t it
making your life

The people
you work so hard to hate
are your own community.
They’re just like you,
without the bias
against the disadvantaged.
Grow up,
drop the tribalism,
and embrace difference.
