Last week I did a manuscript consultation with a 21-year-old who was working on her third novel, part of a fantasy trilogy. The writing was a little rough, but she was very receptive to my feedback and genuinely interested in learning how to make her piece better. (This is not always the case.) I’ve been thinking about her a lot, partly because of her unpretentious vibe and total willingness to develop her voice, but also because she was wearing a Joy Division t-shirt.
Ahh concerts. It’s been awhile for me, but my No. 1 top concert experience has got to be k.d. lang on the last stop of her Sing It Loud tour, which ended in San Diego. That woman has a voice, and she and her band filled every cubic inch of space in that theater with glorious sound. I think the end of the tour definitely added to the energy of the whole experience -- I got the feeling they were leaving it all on the floor.
I bought an Our Flag Means Death t-shirt recently and I feel the same about that. Waiting for someone to recognize it and tell me how much they love the show, too. Thanks again for this post, Teresa. They are the best parts of a week day ✍🏻

“sometimes, we feel most like ourselves when we are a tiny voice in a crowd of others, all singing along to the same song.”
