the pieces of my life

I liked this humorous guide to the traditional Thanksgiving seder.

My latest piece, a creative nonfiction essay entitled “In Bulgaria,” just came out in Sojourn, the literary journal of the University of Texas, Dallas.

See. You may not see me writing. But I’m still doing it. And yes, I did not complete Nanowrimo. But I’ll have a finished first draft of my novel in, I think, two months. Actually, if I commit to you guys, then I pretty much have to have it done, don’t I? So let’s say by January 31. You can call me on it.
