Tag: my writing

Please post more of your own art. When you’re famous I’ll be able to think to myself “I wrote her when she was just starting”.

Oh man. What a lovely comment. I don’t generally post the text of my writing, because I am shopping my work to publishers right now and any prior publishing is frowned upon, but here is a link to an audio recording of the first section of my collection, The Orchard, with some weird sound effects. 

Again; thanks so much. I have scant ambitions toward fame, but I do have aspirations to achieving some sort of emotional and intellectual cogency, so this note made my night. 

I know unsolicited advice is obnoxious, so forgive me, but I think you show real promise and can’t help myself. Here it is: this tumblr shows you are a good art student. Let it show that you are a good artist.

I don’t post my writing on here because a lot of lit journals count self-publishing on blogs as a publication and it would preclude me from submitting. Although, tbf, I have something like 6,000 followers on here, which means that I would have a far larger audience than virtually any journal…so I am beginning to wonder what the point of holding off is. Aside from propping up an elitist  academia.
