I often think about, amidst all the frustrations, how important it is to reach any student in a meaningful way. That small success is not really small, especially for those readers/students who are touched. Btw, I love your work but may have never encountered it if not for a reading at a very small community college! This is my way of saying “Please Come back! October?!!!
Thanks, Jade! That’s where I found your great essay as well :) Let me know if I can comp you for a few months behind the paywall here! Always happy to do so for new writer friends.
Ah yes! How lovely. And I would happily take you up on that. Also, only have so much behind my paywall, but happy to trade ya a comped few months too :)

Oh, my…I didn’t realize that you moved out of town!
Before I read this article I need you to know that never would I describe or see you as “a failed novelist”
Ash, you’re sweet! Don’t worry — this is actually an essay about being too hard on oneself :)
