At 45, my first screenplay was optioned. 48 got my first TV writing job. 50–after 26 years searching—found my biological family.
Now, 54, an original story & script I co-wrote was nominated for 11 Emmy’s. And I wrote a novel.
Fuck the haters. You’re never too old, it’s never too late. Keep going.

published in unstamatic mag! that first acceptance feels oh so sweet
In its final years, the Mall was largely avoided by the Living. They roamed the halls searching reluctantly for anything besides unsatisfying meals or another go on the rusting carousel.

She landed so softly
On my velvet nose
Wings of gossamer
Floating gently

A soft touch
That set me sneezing
So ferociously
She flew away
My majestic visitor
And left me with
Just
Sniffles and a smile.

only popping in to share that exciting feeling of finishing and submitting another piece 🎉 may the guinness flow tonight!....or at least for a little while, as if i don't have work in the morning 🤫
Modern plenary adoption was born out of the theft and trafficking of children, and its legal framework (especially sealing of birth records from everyone, including the adoptee) was designed to protect the parties to that trafficking and to legitimize their exploitative practices.
How is stealing a child’s identity and fabricating a new one through legal contrivances in their “best interests?”
how does a n00b get involved with the writing community on here? are there spaces dedicated to #beta readers, current mags taking #submissions, daily challenges, etc.?
On this #election eve, I’m thinking of my fellow adoptees. We are not political pawns, our lives are not theoretical talking points, we are not your memes. But we know how we will be used in the days ahead.
#adoption is not an alternative to #abortion. #adoption is an alternative to #parenting. I wrote some words to help explain. #prochoice #voteblue #reproductiverights
