I’ve never been one for self-promotion. However, that being said, yesterday, I wrote short story number 2,000 on my website dmseay.com.

It started in 2016 when I was homeless in New York. I started writing about the city using no punctuation. I was experimenting with language about poverty, race, and America as a whole. I had no idea back then it would take me to what I’m writing about today; relationships, leaving, death, life in the Midwest, and still, America.

Two thousand stories and four published books later, I feel lucky to still be alive and doing what I love on a daily basis; writing. Thanks to the few who read my work and buy my books. Here’s to two thousand more.
