Thank you, Mark. Your reblog means a lot to me... :) I worked really hard on this one lol. What a great and deep question. The whole idea of "truth" and how we think about reality seems to be

Oh hell yeah! Mark, you're going off!! Ok Horace is great. I can't seem to decide whether Horace or Jo is my favorite character so far! And I'm so glad he's going to step up and be a part of a public

Reading this was like warm tea being poured out of a kettle. It flowed so well. These stories carry meaning and feeling, yet are also understated in a humble and human way. Great combo! You write in ways

Yes. And I would love to be the greatest fan of your life.

A lot of my friends cringe at the song, so it's okay if it's not your cup of tea. But I can't help but love it.

:) That totally reminds me of a classic from the 90s, a totally corny but beautiful song...

The photo you have that goes with the chapter is amusing and culturally accurate. He looks like so many people who live in San Francisco now.

I didn't feel any moralistic energy! Your writing is so humanizing and there's such a clear ease with how you write (at least on the receiving end I feel this way). It's very exciting to not know what

Also I really like the idea of the general support groups!

:') Very touching! sounds like Chase is looking for more meaning in his life and found it in the simple act of helping someone else. The simple things matter the most. And they usually have to do with

I feel like so much of authentic female empowerment is no longer hiding in secrecy or shame about what it means to be a woman, but not needing to hammer it over people's heads either in moralistic or righteous

Thank you. I definitely am. You're helping me heal all the way from Minneapolis. Not everyone reaches that insight from experimentation and relationships, especially after childhood traumas like those

Mark!!! This chapter knocks it out of the park! Jo is officially my homegirl. I loooove the line of centering people, not technology. And it's about time the media actually holds space for these tough

Wow, epic song!!! That music is dynamic and passionate! Love seeing the musicians in their flow too. Given what you're bringing into light with this story, it makes sense that readers feel the magnitude

Ooooh nice! I love how different each chapter is so far. And I love that this chapter has a plot line where a character doesn't end her life! Bonnie held the space really well for Annabelle :)

I like the idea of Martin going back to his job at the National Park Service. Also, there's something about nature serving as a theme for healing and reminding us of the natural world. And I like the chemistry

Isn't Martin the one who has the job at the National Park Service?

And looking forward to following Jo's journey too! I already like her and her vibe!

Wow! Easily one of the most intense things I've ever read, because it felt so real and believable. I'm fascinated to see what Tom and others do with this tragedy...

That's so exciting Mark. I love where you're going with the story. I'll be on the lookout for the first two chapters! <3
