"Thumbnail" is the new "nutshell."

Posted by Carey Kozuszek at 3:36 PM

Carey Kozuszek: Bay Area, California, United States; Family, writing, cancer, swimming, kids, relationships. I have or do all these things and I write about them all. Fiction and non-fiction, personal essay and poetry. Two and a half years ago, I was given one year to live. I'm standing on an iceberg and don't know (who does?) when I'm going to slip off. Everyone has a way of facing life and mine is through humor and health--mental and physical. And, trying and failing and trying again to be rooted in Now. Because Now is, usually, pretty good. Better than good. Now is lifesaving, and my best teachers are my two children and my dear wife. Thank you for reading these writes. It is always scary for a writer to publicly declare, "This is what I write, this is what I believe. Please look!" The only thing left to do after doing so much is to invite readers, and that's the one step we fledgling writers so often cannot take. And so this blog is one way I am practicing getting braver. Please leave comments and criticism if you're so inclined. Thank you.
