"I don’t want Jason to know I’m a boy who can’t handle a breeze, a boy who shivers when he’s cold, who cries when he’s sad." Read this week's essay by @MrBrianBenson (via @hippocampusmag) in @cnfonline's "Sunday Short Reads."

I just completed the yearlong Pathways progression of courses from @cnfonline. I learned a lot, got great feedback, and got into a better writing practice. Although it focused on CNF, much of what I learned will carry over into fiction writing, too. creativenonfiction.org/cnf-e…
Join me for an Advanced Interviewing for Deeper Storytelling webinar with @cnfonline on Dec. 7!
I'll likely run the full @PandemicSchool course on this topic early 2023, so if you're interested in that, here's a good way to sample it:

Today’s @cnfonline flash essay is wonderful. Writer @ritaciresi captures the confusion and grief that comes after death so perfectly. “But the shirts—all those long sleeves dangling off the hangers reminded me there were no more shoulders to lean on, no arms to hold me.”
This from today’s @cnfonline Sunday Short Reads by @ritaciresi: “But the shirts—all those long sleeves dangling off the hangers reminded me there were no more shoulders to lean on, no arms to hold me.” Just, wow. 😳🥲
"The L.L. Bean catalog arrives in early June, in an avalanche of hospital bills, condolence cards, and COVID-19 reopening announcements from Red Lobster..."
Oof the feels from today's Sunday Short Reads by @ritaciresi via @cnfonlinemailchi.mp/creativenonfictio…

“Once you thought motherhood meant family-hood, or something like that, forgetting that it was you who was the mother—you alone, mouth open and then clenched on a dark and throbbing night.” Jennifer Case, “Message for the Animal Mother,” @cnfonline Sunday Short Read #208.
“You don’t believe me that the anger in you is part of being a mother. [You] don’t believe that the eye-flash, hiccup, aching longing to be elsewhere, is one and the same with the hug so tight you feel your child’s bones.”—Jennifer Case @cnfonline@EL_DIAGRAM
Just wow. ❤️
Oh man, I needed this today.
