#LoveMakeShare 5/11. Monday again! Do you get to apply your creativity in your day job?

Its complicated. I have/had to write a ton for my day job and much of the skills I have honed through that I am now applying to my creative writing (fiction and nonfiction.) But I do not feel like the creativity part I can bring my full self. Work world is to full of "Norms." Skills yes, freedom of creativity, no.

I have been reading, writing and exploring Flash, Micro and Short Short fiction over the last year. Today Dog Throat Journal published a piece of mine, which is the first time a fiction story of mine has ever been published. I am thrilled!

Kurt Vile - "Chance to Bleed" (Verve Records, 2026)

Song of the Summer? Breezy melody, chantable chorus, and a great vocal hook:

"Old time, lo-fi, DIY, Rock & Roll…Nights!"

Latest album from Kacey Musgraves, Middle of Nowhere.

Is this Country or Genteel Soul?!

Available in this sand coloured vinyl on her webstore. Other versions include a picture disc and a clear vinyl with a different album cover.

Kacey Musgraves - Middle of Nowhere (Lost Highway, 2026)

No mainstream artist has captured my heart like Spacey Kacey over eight years. Classic country → disco → cottage core → electro-pop. I ride with it.

Are you starting any new projects this month?

One fun thing about working in flash fiction/nonfiction is you can start stuff all the time! (finishing on the other hand...)

Someone else promotion day

I recently read the first Nina Bell Mystery by @DevonEllington and had a blast revisiting the NYC of my 20s. Sharp writing, a good mystery yarn and captured the era/locale like someone who lived it. Nina is a great character and her mix of confidence and vulnerability made her an appealing lead. I enjoyed being in her POV.
