Sorry, But Death Is Not Always Sad
There’s been a lot of tonescolding on Twitter due to a mass of reactions to… let’s just say “recent events”. I had a moment of thinking it might be somewhat beneficial to repost this quick post I wrote 4 years ago.

Recently, Ian Belknap’s live literary smackdown extravaganza, Write Club, celebrated its 10th anniversary. I was honored to be asked to return to Chicago two years ago to compete in favor of the concept of FREEZE against THAW. It was a dream come true and a personal joy. In working on current work in tandem with this anniversary and current events, I felt posting my essay might be… of value.
