I did it! Important gaming history! I found Mora Grissom, the ill-fated third contestant from Video Armageddon from the Wizard. She died at a mere 47,500 points in the culminating, dramatic, unveiling of Super Mario Brothers 3. Her legacy lives on!

This genuinely makes me miss my mom and feel her influence. Taco Bell was our weekly lunch spot for the last year of her life. She never saw my success as a writer, but I've had so many writers come up and tell me about their moms and Taco Bell.

My mom is almost 80 yo and when she tries to ask me about my writing she says “How’s, um, Taco Bell?”

People who come from privilege know how to network and name drop and connect, the schools don't prep them to write short stories. it preps them to make connections. You're the dupe learning to craft yourself into obscurity when you need to learn how to make friends

Damn AV Club picked it up. And I'm so happy to see them personally link to some of our pieces. Great writing. Scrappy nobodies. Audience of hundreds of thousands. Somebody buy a goddamn medallion

A year ago, this list would have intimidated me. Now the thing I made is on it.

One hell of a list to be included on, from UNLV's library site of resources for literature.

I just got the nicest most professional rejection I have ever received with an invite to send more, from a huge publication, and this is how I know I'm making it

If you've put your stuff out there, it moved someone. Promise you that. Create movement. Strive for movement.

You're not too old. You're probably too young still. The 20 and 30 year olds have money. I'll be 45 when my first book comes out! Keep going, I see you!
