Thank you, June! Your kind words mean so much. 🛁

Me too! It was a close call there for a bit. Susurrus is a great home for it.

Thank you, Mike! 🛁

Thank you for sharing, Timothy!!

Awwww - thank you! 😍

Thank you so much for sharing, sweet friend! Hope you're doing well! 🛁

Thanks so much! Any time I get people cussing, I know I didn't fail. :)

Thank you for the kind words and for sharing, Dan! 🛁

Thank you so much, Louise! 🛁

Awww. Thank you so much! Hope you and the bunnies are doing well.

❤️ I grew up (at 55) a little with the editing. It got some tough early feedback. Instead of ditching it in Google Docs, I dug in and rewrote it. Big girl literary pants on!

Thank you so much for sharing! 🛁

I'm so honored to be part of this stellar group of writers at one of my favorite journals. Thank you to @tylermalone.bsky.social for my fitting artwork too!

I've written very little in the last 18 months. This story bears more weight than usual.

🥰 love that so much!!

Thank you! It was so lovely getting to know you through your writing!

Thank you so much! ❤️

Congrats to you too! Such a special site and group of writers. ❤️

Ooh - I see my little story's title on this wonderful longlist! Congrats to all! Thank you to @theprideroars.bsky.social for including me! ❤️

Austin Grossman is doing something cool with “Stay” but the photos! the Boyfriend Book! in @amygcb.bsky.social’s Lee Ann Womack homage are also what @marchxness.bsky.social was made for.

Perhaps biased as a Tennesseean who has fond Little Rock memories but @amygcb.bsky.social is BRINGING IT with "the boyfriend book" and all the pictures!

My March Sadness essay on Lee Ann Womack's "A Little Past Little Rock" is up! Please vote for 90s me & 2026 me. ☑️

I’m excited to have a micro-excerpt from my novel-in-progress in this issue. Thrilled to be in such great company!

Finding an under 200-word, freestanding section to extract and submit was a difficult —but rewarding—challenge. Big thank you to eds. @owenwyke.bsky.social and @amygcb.bsky.social !
