I'm beyond thrilled to have my poem "A Barista Training Manual for Essential Workers" in the #whywewrite fall issue of Michigan Quarterly Review.

This poem is dedicated to the baristas who sailed with me through holidays, doubles, clopens, birthdays, and brew room mid-shift drinks.

There are too many people to list, but you're all here with me, working the line. All the beautiful ghosts are here. Thank you. ❤️❤️

All Writers Need to Believe in Stories

Should I keep writing? Is it worthwhile? Featuring quotes from #PhilipPullman about the value of fiction. # writinglife #writerproblems #storiesmatter #whywewrite

“We have to believe in our work; the only thing that lightens the burden of it, sometimes, is the sense that it matters, and that we’ve committed ourselves to something valuable.”– from “Writing Fantasy Realistically” by Philip Pullman New writers are encouraged to read, and so read I did – about the evils of misrepresentation, the cleverness of subverted tropes, the laughable Mary Sue…

WHY WE WRITE

We write to speak In a world that tries to silence us To let them know, we've had enough

For children Paying the price of mistakes Made centuries ago

We write For people in power Who have turned a blind eye To those who need attention the most

We write for our only home Depleting each second Even right now, as I speak

We write for hope in this hopeless world We write For peace For love We write for change

#WhyWeWrite #Environment #ClimateChange #Women's Rights #Equality #WorldPeace #GunLaws #Power

This Saturday's event: One-On-One with Writer, Director and Producer William Gilmore who will discuss a variety of topics, including writing and producing Reality TV shows and more. Click this link for more information. Don't miss this event! Join us!

William Gilmore is an industry multi-hyphenate jack-of-all-trades. He began his career in the proverbial mailroom, or in this case, the reception desk at MTV, where he answered phones inside the fiberglass rock of Rock n’ Roll. While at MTV, William managed to talk his way into a production assistant’s position on Jon Stewart’s first series, You Wrote It, You Watch It. Within a matter of weeks, he surreptitiously began submitting sketches to the writer’s desk and re-editing the executive producer’s packages. It was a gamble that paid off with a promotion in credits to segment producer, director, and writer but unfortunately no increase in pay.

For more information on this Speaker and to RSVP for this event, please click here.

So, @lesleyuniversity had me on their #whywewrite podcast to talk about what they call "the freedom of self-publishing and the gumption it takes to call yourself a writer....plus advice from Dolly Parton," all of which is accurate. They titled the episode "Self-publishing, ghost hunting lesbians, and Dolly Parton," which is all I want my legacy to be. This episode of Why We Write is available on iTunes, Stitcher, Google Play, and Spotify, as well as on the Lesley website. Listen to it to hear all my very good opinions on writing. "It's our season finale, and we've got recent graduate and thrice published author Nicole Mello. Nicole talks about how hard it is to actually call yourself a writer, the freedom of self-publishing, and of course, ghost hunting lesbians. Chris Clark, one of Nicole's former teachers at Lesley University, conducts the interview." . . . . . #podcast #podcasting #radio #podcasts #music #itunes #spotify #youtube #podcaster #writing #podcastlife #comedy #books #love #soundcloud #writer #author #radioshow #motivation #artist #podcastshow #art #podernfamily #podcastersofinstagram #phantasmagoria #interview #repost #marketing #business https://www.instagram.com/p/Bxckjilnz65/?igshid=1dwztor6omy00

Character flaws: Flaws are the one part of characters I relate with the most. They aren't perfect, just like me. The only problem I have with flaws are people who make their characters having a mental or physical disorder as their great flaw. Flaws are important, they can lead more into their story and the plot. I'm going to give an example from Marvel's Infinity War but also mention Guardians of the Galaxy, just so your warned. Peter Quill is arguably one of the best characters in my MCU and there is a reason for this. He is an underdog. He is the only human in his world out in space. He interacts with many other species of aliens and he never returns home. He is a human, with no powers, giving it his best to survive. Over Guardians of the Galaxy Volume 1 & 2, he learns that his team is the bets family and they can't let emotions control their actions. Flash forward to Infinity War, it's the big battle against Thanos and they group might just win bit Peter messes this up but getting emotional when Thanos tells him that he killed Peter's girlfriend and his adopted daughter. Peter loses it and it screws up the plan and they lose. He makes a choice to get emotional, even through the last two movies show that it's never good to let their emotions go and control their actions. Peter Quill is an amazing character even though he makes this mistake. He has many flaws but this was a very big thing to me. What's your favorite flaw and what's your favorite Marvel character? #authorlife #authorsofinstagram #marvel #whatwritersdo #peterquill #whywewrite #writeeveryday #flaws #characterflaws https://www.instagram.com/p/BvS-U_3HFaT/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1orufi1prhc6s
