My First Longform Feature: Recovery in The Lifestyle

When I first took the internship at Narratively, I promised myself I'd use my time there to inch my way out of my comfort zone and write stories that challenged my skill set. So, I was beyond thrilled when my…

The Narratively Piece That Triggered an International Investigation

This fall, I had the pleasure of chatting with Reema Zaman, author of I Am Yours (Jan 2019, Amberjack Press). Reema's voice is brave, elegant, and more important than ever. It's one I strive for in my own writing.

Modern Love

Last week, I quietly celebrated 5 years of sobriety. 

When I first quit drinking, I was totally burnt from the road–depressed, uninspired and at a loss for where my life was headed. I wanted to keep in touch with…

Lay off of Lena

Fun fact: March is Endometriosis Awareness Month. Less fun fact: I have it, and it's not a party. 

Earlier this month, Vogue published an essay by Lena Dunham about her decision to have a full hysterectomy (she's also got the…

Get knocked down enough, and one of two things will happen: you'll either get stronger, or end up with full on concussion. 

For me, the making of Hungry Ghost was a little bit of both. 

When Kevin and…

How To Make A Million Dollars

There’s a joke in the music business that goes something like this:

Q: How do you make 1 million dollars in music?

A: Start with 2 million.

I hate that joke.

Early on in my career, it was easy to…

Setting the bar low.

For the first time in six months, I felt at ease I was alone on my mother’s balcony.

It was 72 degrees, a bright April afternoon in South Texas.

The yard below me full and lush, with orange and purple…

If at first you don’t succeed, fail. Fail again.

I lost my job.

It was ideal. My highest paying babysitting job ever - $25/hr - all to look after a 4 year-old girl twenty minutes from my apartment. I’d even managed to convince her parents to delay my start…
