So fucking excited to be part of @barrelhousemag's

So fucking excited to be part of @barrelhousemag's Conversations and Connections Conference! If you're looking for advice, community, and support on writing and publishing, this is the conference for you! The conference fee is $70.00, and gets you access to craft workshops, readings, and two books (which is like a truly amazing value)!⁣

For an extra $10, you can book a ten-minute editor meeting with yours truly where I give you personalized feedback on a piece of writing. It's all virtual and more info can be found at the link in my bio. Hope to see you there!

This question has been on my mind ever since I began watching YOU: Why does Joe kill people? Sometimes it's an accident - sometimes it's being in the wrong place at the wrong time. Sometimes it's to kill a character I think deserves it (looking at you Ryan). And sometimes, in the weirdest and twisted way - Joe kills for love (the feeling and the character).⁣
⁣
But I think this whole story line is a missed opportunity.⁣
