On the phone with Colin right now. Always glad to be a part of a Molotov contest—such great names in the Top 10/CBNC list!

Sometimes you send out two submissions in a single night. To everyone writing at the kitchen table when the kids go to sleep: cheers.

Only had two publication credits so far this year, but the big celebration for me:

Currently have four pieces out for submission. It’s been a while since I was in that position.

(Oh, and we had another kid this year.)
