My former publisher overheard me complaining about March Madness, and told me to stop talking and write about it. After that, “Short Stories” was created. “Short Stories” was a weekly column where I would write about anything and everything that came to my mind.
My column showed me how to:
- Consistently think on my feet
- Never be afraid to pitch an idea
- Pivot quickly if an idea isn’t working
My Favorites:

“To fall asleep last night, I put a cold wash rag over my forehead lick a sickly, Victorian-era child, trying to cool down.”
Don’t read this in public
“To read or not to read? What a stupid question. But, to read or not to read in public? A valid qualm.”
A monolingual girl in a multilingual world
“No hablo español. That means “I don’t speak Spanish” in Spanish. I just googled it.”
