Crush, Mirror, Sister (2023)
a fractured memoir I never published because life kept happening
A Google Drive folder still exists. 33 separate Google Docs.
Crush, Mirror, Sister, the longest and original doc, is 242 pages and 97,396 words. CMS (Reprise) - Charlotte Street, the final doc, was last modified on March 21, 2025. Several other docs include the initials of their intended audience in the title: CMS (Excerpt) - 3-B, CMS (Excerpt) - 4-A&L, CMS (Excerpt) - 18-C&A. They range in length from 5 pages to 150 pages. They're copied and pasted from each other in some places, rewritten in others. No two excerpts are exactly alike, and printed versions are signed like a variable edition.
It wasn't about reaching one version of a truth for traditional printed publication that is shared with everyone. It was about grieving illusions, holding split and contradictory truths, and VULNERABILITY IN ALL CAPITAL LETTERS.
Chapter titles include:

In 2026, I've been writing an essay called Day in the Life. When it splits, you're welcome to read an excerpt. All it costs is a gmail address.
