New story day! Have a little bite of weird circus fiction to enliven your Monday.

Y'all look Macey has a book!! I'm so excited for everyone to get to read it!! I have already read it and it is a DELIGHT! It's got many bones. More than the average book's share of bones. Bones and shenanigans. 😁🦴

Congratulations #VP2025! VP was exactly what I was hoping it would be and more, I bet it'll be the same for you.

And may you have weather as nice as we did last year.

Thank you, glad you enjoyed! 💚

Hi friends, I have a poem out in Haven Spec! Did you know there is a poetry form called a sapphic? (I got very excited about writing sapphic sapphics when I learned this.) This poem is a sapphic about witchy crows (also pretty sapphic subject matter tbh).

Yessss excellent

on a blurred background lies a text box with an image of a hand rising from thick water under a starry sky. there is a quote, it reads: "what slid from my body into lake-water / and was drowned by wonder? / the trick of the necromancer's womb / is to grow things both living and dead" this quote comes from "the trick of the necromancer's womb" by Deving Miller, appearing in Issue 4 of Baubles From Bones.

✨Poetry spotlight!✨

Life and death, embraced in the unknown lakeside, love what comes from it regardless

You can read "the trick of the necromancer's womb" by @devzmiller.bsky.social coming soon in Baubles From Bones Issue 4!

feeling very seen by "sexy sapphic mushroom witch love poem" tbh. my brand in a nutshell

One of the poems is mine! 🐦‍⬛🧙 Haven Spec does cool stuff, y'all should have a look at their Kickstarter.

Dialogue. I was real good at making my fanfic dialogue sound like something you'd really hear in that TV character's voice and now I'm just generally good at making my characters talk like people.

Happy Monday, friends! I'm starting a newsletter!

Subscribe if you wanna hear about it when I publish something and occasionally get a lil essay about me debugging my writing process.

that's been there for years; I cannot explain it to you 😂 not usually wearing antlers though

Woken up thirty seconds before the alarm clock by the cat tongue on face alarm.

At least she was only thirty seconds impatient.

A grey cat is curled up on a giant pile of pillows and a duvet on top of a chair. She is staring at the camera. The whole thing has Princess and the Pea vibes.

Your night would probably be improved by looking at my cat be a princess, wouldn't it

I'd be delighted if you read any of these, to nominate them for awards or not. It's such a joy when my strange ideas and stubbornly hopeful characters get to build a connection between me and the world.

"Song for a Star-Whale’s Ghost" is about singing space shanties to your whale ship and heisting for the good of her grandchildren. And about the cost of lowering your expectations.

The Eleventh Resurrection and the Twelfth Life The Eleventh Resurrection and the Twelfth Life by Devin Miller

All short fiction, eligible for the usual. I'm most proud of the complexity of "The Coffee of Torcat." Parallel worlds, memory, loyalty to a dangerous queen. www.beneath-ceaseless-skies.com/stories/the-...

😂 certainly not. I've never been to the Isabela Stewart Gardiner Museum but I know enough about it to know I'll appreciate any room inspired by it

A+ interior decorating choice

Ooh, goth of you, delightful

Oolong, a grey cat, sits on a mountain made of a duvet and pillows piled on top of a chair, looking suspicious of the photographer

Princess Oolong and the Pea for you

Okay but now you have to show us your gallery wall of haunted-looking women

😂 I'm pretty cool, it's true
