Hooray! I’m so happy for you!

Just read this great story by a new friend, @emilyrinkema.bsky.social who's in my SmokeLong Quarterly workshop. It's fewer than 300 words but it really packs a punch.

Ask what they’re doing!

I'm participating in @smokelong.bsky.social Summer 2025 Writing 2025 program. Got my water wings on and reading to jump in the pool!

How cool is this?

Congrats!

Love this cover so much!

Love the cover!

That’s me in there! My story On the Midway takes place at a carnival where the midway prizes are food items. A final game of the night promises to offer one lucky winner the chance at a better life. So what’s the harm in playing?

Lovely poem. Congrats!

What defines a great writer? When they can pull at your heart by telling an entire story in exactly 100 words.

Tell me your thoughts. I'm lying on the forest floor myself right now.

A mini-saga of saltwater passions, who knew lobsters loved so deeply? Melanie Mulrooney knows. Read her micro-fiction and feel the heat. @melmulrooney.bsky.social

It's not just a lark. He can really write. Check out @slothandenvy.com's Galen Gower's mind-bending story "Bird Dreams of Woman."

Past is the more natural way of storytelling for me. I might use the present tense for a first person POV in a story filled with tension and suspense.

@clarkesworldmagazine.com is all class, all the time. Their writers are stellar. So many writers would love to see their stories--their own words--in Clarkesworld and their names on the cover.

Google is wrong, wrong, wrong.

Yay, Morgan! A darling cover for your new book. Wonder what happens between these two? Guess we'll have to wait until September.

Lovely!

Nora is my alpha reader, er, snuggler.

Yay Leo!
