The Things You Can't Control - Paperback - Book of Short Stories
Finally, in my own shop, this is the book that I wrote! Over the last ten years, I have had a short story collection that was born out of creativity and trauma healing. For the past five years, I’ve said that I would put together this collection and publish it. I’ve had so many people read it over for revisions and edits, had folx give me their preferred order for the stories, and with consultation with all of them, slowly settled on this collection here. There are a few things that I do wish I could have changed before publishing it: the margins, the spacing—but those things were getting in the way of me doing the thing that I was committing to do. So I decided that it’s okay.
I might go back and change these things for later publications of it, but when you order this book, you order not only a collection of time, where I documented ideas and lessons that helped me move through my trauma so that I could heal—but you also have the first version of what could have only been accomplished after over a decade of internal work. The publishing of this book itself represents being in a spot in my own healing where I decided that no matter what voices from my past were telling me otherwise, that my voice deserved a place in the world.
This listing is for the book only.
