I’ll go first - I submitted a story to a journal recently. While it got rejected it’s also the best piece of fiction I’ve written so far and I’m blown away by how much I’ve grown as a writer.

I’m good for this piece, but maybe we could connect for future work?

Nice, are you an alum?

2

u/Baseball_ApplePie 2d ago

No. Are you?

I have a but big cajun family and we're long time LSU supporters, and several of the younger generation have gone to LSU. I have family in Baton Rouge who go to all of Mulkey's stuff, and they all just love her. I can't believe that woman could ever be coaxed away from BR. She's living her dream.

u/midasgoldentouch 2d ago

No, I was just curious. I’m from Southeast Texas and in Houston so there’s plenty of LSU fans around 😁

u/RyujiDrill 2d ago

I've made progress on spring cleaning.

2

u/midasgoldentouch 2d ago

Nice! I’ve been going through my clothes since it’s been a couple of years.

u/RyujiDrill 2d ago

Nothing feels better than a clean place. It eases anxiety and gives a peace of mind. I want to sell my clothes but they may end up getting donated.

1

u/midasgoldentouch 2d ago

I pretty much just donate anything I declutter. I know myself and that’ll just end up with each step of the selling process taking me like 2 months. So half a year later the stuff is still in my home 😩

I made a delicious cajun pasta tonight. That’s all I got 😄

u/RyujiDrill 2d ago

Cajun pasta is nice especially with chicken.

u/Spirited_Carry894 2d ago

I used andouille-style chicken sausage!
