Spend it all, shoot it, play it, lose it all, right away, every time. Something more will arise for later, something better. These things fill from behind, from beneath, like well water.
[Annie Dillard]

This is my first feature in the Portland Monthly — really fun to have it come out right now (when I’m home waiting for baby #2 to make her appearance). It was fantastic working with them; their editorial team is thoughtful, conscientious, kind, creative, and makes changes that actually feel like they make my writing better.
