Career Advice From the Fella
I spent the weekend at a writing conference. I’ve been feeling a bit discouraged with the business of trying to find an agent so I decided I needed to get out and meet new writers and focus on the work instead of the rejection.
While in transit I had this text exchange with my fella. It was good encouragement as well as a good reminder of why we are hanging out in the first place.

Welcome! I’m a middle-aged former Mormon (aka the “other FOMO”), essayist, and playwright living in Salt Lake City. I work in pharmaceuticals professionally and write recreationally—though I’m open to reversing that someday. On Life and Lemons is where I share humorous snippets about writing, addiction, recovery, relationships, mental health, and whatever else life tosses in the blender. If you enjoy dark humor with a twist of lemon-tart snark—or just need proof that your own life isn’t the only one held together by twist ties and good intentions—you’re in the right place. You can follow me and get updates on the release of my new essay collection at instagram.com/pieces_of_string/. 🍋 Subscribe and let’s overthink things together.
