Girlhood

Girlhood is a story that follows Daisy, a young woman who just can't seem to shake off her depressive and aggressive nature. She finds pleasure in power and control.

Crushed Red

In my advanced fiction class we were instructed to write a scene that included instructions on how to do something we can do well. So, obviously, I wrote about making lasagna, but it takes so long to make that I only wrote about making tomato sauce. We were supposed to write in a way that didn't feel like the reader was being instructed... hopefully I succeeded. (2015)
