Thanks! I look forward to it.
Friendly reminder that your characters don’t have to be likeable.
Aww, I will!
Oh thank you! That means a lot!
That’s the most adorable thing I’ve ever heard, aww. Haha, I’m less worried, I’ll admit, thanks.
Oh I’ve got plenty of embarrassing stories about his mom, that’s for sure. Hopefully I’m doing this right. Thank you :)
I can totally do ice cream—who doesn’t love ice cream?
how do I be a good aunt?? I don’t know the first thing about being an aunt.
I know, I know! I’ve been absent, but in my defense, I found out my sister is pregnant, and my life’s been kind of hectic getting ready to be an aunt. That’s a big deal, right?
Oooooooh, thank you! That’s so sweet :) I can’t believe you went through it all!
“I’m not suicidal. I don’t want to die - I expect I will live for a while yet. But, for some reason, I have written my will, and notes to loved ones.”

Your best friend died last winter, and you wonder why you never had the courage to tell her you loved her.2.
You stay awake every night and turn to the sound of shivering railway tracks and speeding cars on the freeway. From the tenth floor, your city looks like a minefield and your body looks like a burning building as the smoke fills the kitchen corners.3.
When your neighbours called the fire brigade, they found you on the floor next to your bed. Your bones had turned to ashes, your skin had turned to sand, but they could still make out the colour of your eyes.4.
They painted the walls of your room and moved out to live a thousand miles West, covering you in enough dirt to last you the rest of the forever you had left.5.
My best friend died last week, and I wonder why I never had the courage to tell him I loved him.
I left the hydrangeas
on the table,
took Jesus by the hand
and played seven
minutes in heaven
in the hall closet.
The oohs and aahs
the disciples made
as they scratched
at the door
screaming “satan in a satin dress!”
did not deter
this son of god
from leaving a mark
on my neck
