Check out an essay of mine called “Shiny Happy Pirate” at FRESH YARN.
…and prepare to lose a day, or more, as you read the many, many wonderful personal essays on the site. They’re hilarious and heartbreaking and everywhere in between. Your boss will be weeping, for sure, because you won’t be doing any work.

Thank you so much for writing and sharing Shiny Happy Pirate. On so many levels, it is a fantastic work of art. Wow…I am about to go read it again…
Well done!
Thank you!
Just got to read it. Love it — really. I keep thinking about both you trick-or-treating in your homemade costume, and the more reflective things you wrote at the end about connecting with people (or not) (and the imaginary cat). Looking forward to reading more soon.
Thanks…I hope there are more essays soon. That one prompted a project about the sailing trip that gets into more specifics. (Currently a work in progress.)
Imaginary Cat says “Meow!”
