Constructive Criticism
People always say theyâre open to constructive criticism, but they usually mean theyâre open to praise. It doesnât take much pride and ego swallowing to accept praise; even Donald Trump can do it. However, constructive criticism may need a grain or two of sugar going down.

Brokedown Shakedown . Content Warning.
The American system is broken, badly. Our checks and balances have been hijacked by a madman serial rapist pedophile. Let that part sink in. Then look at his business records. Itâs damn near impossible to bankrupt a casino, but heâs done it more than once. Trump Steaks (đ€ź), Trump Vodka (đ”âđ«), and Trump University (đȘŠ) were all blistering successes, amiright?

Jars. Runner-Up in Craft Over Catharsis Challenge.
Jim sat in his favorite rocker, beams of late afternoon sun draped over his lap instead of stabbing him in the eyes like on Billyâs side of the porch. He twirled a lollipop between his fingers, occasionally popping it in his mouth. Heâd been doing this since he stopped smoking. The youngâuns didnât remember the cloud of Pall Mall that used to shroud his face as he told his tales. The kids were playing in the yard and under the porch, out of the September heat in the cool sand, sun shining between the shadows of the slats. Presently, a grubby face appeared over Jimâs shoulder. The kids wanted to go down to the creek to play.

Hemingway, Steinbeck, and Faulkner
When people ask if I like Faulkner or Hemingay, like theyâre Maryann and Ginger, it irks me. My answer is yes, and itâs not like, itâs love. And why are you neglecting Steinbeck? I reject the idea that a reader can only read one style and like it. Hemingway, Steinbeck, and Faulkner are my holy trinity, my neapolitan ice cream. At the risk of stating the obvious, Hemingway is vanilla, Steinbeck is strawberry, and Faulkner is chocolate. I love them all.

The Blood of Eve I. Content Warning.
I didnât want to kill any of them, but I had to so they wouldnât get hurt. Iâve seen the world and what it can do to people. Iâve seen depravity the likes of which you wouldnât believe. The things men will do when theyâre drunk and high on amphetamines and testosterone if a girl or woman is available. Or nearby and unprotected.
