Four weeks of a writing course

I started a 10-week writing course a few weeks ago. Joining a writing class is something I’ve been wanting to do for a while. I had high hopes of finding something in Austin that met in person, but honestly, there weren’t many good options.

4 for 4

I spend the early summer watching reruns of King of the Hill and swimming in other people’s pools. In the afternoon, the sun hangs around forever, baking everything in an endless wave of heat and dust and shame.

A wrap-up of all the things I've written this year that I like.

I wrote a lot this year, even though I think I didn’t. I wanted to look back at some of the things I’ve written and see what I liked best. Some of these are full bits while others are just short snippets of what I enjoyed.
