New essay in HAD
Every writer has a list of dream publications they'll continue to submit to, no matter how often they get rejected.
"Had" has been that journal for me. In addition to publishing great work, I have always admired their approach to submission calls. Typically, these calls are announced without warning and remain open until they reach a predetermined limit, which usually happens in less than 10 minut Read more of this blog post »

“How does Sting know she doesn’t have to turn on the red light? I bet under different circumstances she’d love not to put on the red light, but she’s got bills to pay. If he’s telling her she doesn’t have to turn on the red light, he needs to offer an alternative.

“I leaned into my computer to give off the impression I was involved in something important, when actually I was reading [IMDB] trivia about the TV show The Wire. I’d ended up on the show page after following a trail of links that began with James Van Der Beek’s headshot. President Obama claims it’s his favorite show, and Omar is his favorite character.”

“Submerged in bed, she kept his attention, slowed his breathing, stilled his thoughts, narrowed his sense to a steady state, focused on thin blade of shoulder, pale crook of arm, valley below cheekbone, sharp ridge of lip. He wanted to bathe in her, wanted to toss their togetherness in great handfuls.”
