Scarred

In looking back at what I wrote concerning my first miscarriage, I find myself reaching for the comfort and solace in words once more, only this time, there is no beauty in these words. Instead I find a rawness, a coldness that cannot be removed by searching for the perfect arrangement of words. I wish I could. I expected to be sad. What I did not expect was the irrationally powerful anger and...

Finding a Home for Hole

"Hole," or as I more affectionately know it "Bree's Story" is still without a home. I've gotten a fresh rejection from Bete Noire today, and I'm not going to lie, this one stung. As a magazine that claims to pride itself on providing personal rejections, it hurt to open my email and see the same old form rejection that every other publication sends. Oh well. I like the magazine very much and will...
