Lifeguard of Love
I started this Substack to record my artistic process the first year after I completed my MFA in Creative Writing in Fiction, at age 40. That year has passed, and I’m still figuring shit out. Come along with me as I cultivate a creative life, discuss the joys and hazards of living frugally, and tell stories from subcultures of the American west, both true and fictional.
