I'm Ben. I currently have anywhere from 300-500 half-baked first drafts that need to be cleaned up and submitted but my god that’s fucking boring so I just keep writing more and more half-baked first drafts hoping some day I’ll be rich enough to afford a really good editor to look at them all and tell me how to make them better or, more likely, narrow them down to the 3-5 that are actually publishable. I like to write short things and weird things. I also hate exposition. I am suspicious whether there is a way to do it efficiently.

Hiii, I'm Shannan. I'm currently "not-writing" a horror-humor magic realist novel and god yea I've rewritten that opening chapter at least 15 times (whyyy is it so hard to let go of and get on!). I'm also a mom to a VERY feisty 4 year old. Annnd I study full time (MFA) anddd I work full time (Chill Subs) anddd I run ONLY POEMS, which is also full time. ... aaand now I'm tired just writing that.
