After a few false starts and emotional walk-throughs, I’ve sent off the latest “Mom Files” essay to beta-readers, this one on the storytelling brain, liminal spaces, and filling in […]

How the hell is it June already? Anyone? You don’t know either? Okay, moving on. As usual when I do the East Coast Turnaround, I came down with sinus gunk ™ a few days after.  So that’s been my life for the past few days, moving through a crud-haze and trying not to cough up
