10 favorite things I wrote in 2013

Or rather, my 10 favorite pieces I wrote that got published in 2013. I'm starting off the new year with a new print publication credit, and I hope many more! In no particular order:

"Kinky, Sober and Free: BDSM in Recovery" at The Fix

Interview with Carry On, Warrior author and Momastery blogger Glennon Doyle Melton at The Fix

"Hoarding Isn't Fashionable or Glamorous" at The Toast

"James Gandolfini Was My Celebrity Crush" at Medium

"Dear Mrs. Hall: Boys and Men Can See Sexy Selfies and Still Respect Women" at Boinkology 101 at Medium (should have added "And Girls" to the title though)

Graphic memoir roundup

I did a roundup of graphic memoirs by women over at Bustle, including Hyperbole and a Half by Allie Brosh, Fun Home by Alison Bechdel (see also my writeup about the Fun Home musical, Kiss and Tell by MariNaomi, food-themed Relish by Lucy Knisley, Green Day-themed Spit and Passion by Cristy C. Road and more.

Fun Home musical article at BuzzFeed LGBT

I wrote about the new musical Fun Home at The Public Theater, based on the graphic memoir by Alison Bechdel, for BuzzFeed LGBT and interviewed playwright Lisa Kron. I saw it twice and was very impressed with it, especially child actor Sydney Lucas. I'm trying to expand the breadth of topics I write about to include other things I'm interested in besides sex, dating and books, my usual beats, so hopefully I'll get the chance to write about theater more often.
