GARAGE SAILING with Trash to Treasure Lit

I've got a new piece out today in Trash to Treasure Lit! I wrote this over the summer and worried it had a technical glitch in the third act that I couldn't (and didn't want to?) figure out. I was convinced it needed more work before I'd be able to submit it somewhere. But for some reason, I couldn't bring myself to do that work. So it sat around on my computer for several months before I came across Trash to Treasure Lit. Samantha, TTT's founding editor, is always looking for stories, poems, and essays that haven't found a home anywhere else, and she was very welcoming to this little piece. So I am happy to announce that "Garage Sailing" has been unleashed upon the world!
FYI: The doll-man in this story is based on a real...person? I encountered at an estate sale this summer. He's pictured above #AlbertLives.
So if you like garage sales and creepy life-sized man dolls, “Garage Sailing” is the story 4 U!

The idea of turning "trash into treasure" resonates with me, as it reminds me of the chaotic first drafts I produced during my final year at university. I remember feeling like my research was just a pile of unorganized thoughts until I collaborated with an academic editing service uk to help refine my narrative into something truly polished. It is amazing how much value you can find in your own work once you have the right eyes to help you reshape it.
