I keep one notebook at a time. In that notebook I journal, draft, rant, pray, question, plan and list. Keeping a writing practice cracks me open. I am easy with honesty.
Piecemeal is culled from my writing practice. Unless noted, all writing on Piecemeal is my original work. Most of the pieces are posted in draft form, though I occasionally share (nearly) finished work too.
I wrote and posted thirty-one narrative pieces to celebrate my thirty-ninth year. So close.
That push to generate work feels good – I like to set a deadline or an arbitrary word count. The exercise of Thirty-Nine Stories revived my desire to connect more with other writers.
I am forty now and pursuing an MFA in fiction.
