I’ve been holding onto this news for a while but I’m happy to finally announce the publication of my short story “Randyland” in @86logic! This literary magazine is an amazing collection of authors and artists with backgrounds in the service industry and Issue 6 was just released today! You can find my story on page 34 next to some very well-matched and beautiful art. The way they captured the “otherworldly/out of body” sensation in the story, truly the level of detail from this editorial team is incredible. You can buy your copy using the link in my bio and make sure to follow @86logic to connect with other creators and never miss a future issue! Thank you to everyone who ever listened to or critiqued “Randyland.” You helped me make this happen and I love you all for it 💜 #86logic #randyland

I leave for my Vegas quest in a few days, but before that I spent a wonderful evening with my good friends at @wocfot listening to their talent and reading a piece called “For Ruth” about an old book of script notes I found at an estate sale when I was a kid. I’m going to miss this place and all the beautiful people in it ❤️🍊💛💚💙💜 Thank you for everything @hippiewriter @rocksolidbwalk @jeffrembert @erikdeckers (and Tim!) #orlando #writersofcentralflorida #orlandodoesntsuck #centralflorida #ruthsimmons #peachesoneil #writersofinstagram #writing #oldbook #gaywriter #lgbtwriters #writingquotes #writerscommunity #writingcommunity #writersofig #fiercestorytelling

It was my last comedy night with @wocfot and the always hilarious @erikdeckers hosting, so I read a few lines from the extensive “working on” section of my phone notes and hoped they landed somewhere near #funny. I just can’t explain how much I’m going to miss this group of pure talent and love. #storytelling #comedy #orlando #bar #stardustcoffee #liquor #openmic #spokenword #standupcomedy #soyouthinkyoucanfunny #breakup #cycles #writersofinstagram #poetsofinstagram #poetry #gaywriter #lgbtwriters #fiercestorytelling
