summer time madness

I've been trying to read more this summer, now that i don't have school to occupy all my time I can do things I actually like to do.  What a concept! I finished "Men We Reaped" from Jesmyn Ward. It was powerful. I cried so much and even though our experiences are not the same there was a glimmer of connection, the raw way she writes about her life, reflective, but blunt and not candied. It was inspiring. It gets me thinking about all the things I want to write. The things I need to write.
I've also been working on my image, my brand if you will. I finally separated my personal insta from a strictly writing one. I feel like my website needs a little work, just a little more geared towards who I am and what I'm trying to accomplish.  It's just a big task. But I'm sure I'll find my footing. 
Go follow @asha.galindo on insta to see some more of my writing and poetry. Eventually I'd like to read some work in my stories.  Not necessarily spoken word or even poetry. I like the idea of reading my personal essays aloud. We shall see.
