It's a picture of me (a chubby, bearded, happy man) atop the Rocky steps in the snow.
I wrote about leaving the east coast and the disappointment of having a novella lose its home in a piece that's probably a little too honest about me. If you read it, you're lovely.

😂 such a solid guess - it was some fancy big ass jeep
This isnt a bit, I was stuck behind her ass
Erika Kirk clogs up the left lane and makes sure no one can go around her during rush hour
@beegotten.bsky.social created something incredibly special for the first issue of NADIR. A contemplative and vicious tale about human brutality, forgiveness, and living on in memory.
Read it and six other wonderfully weird tales in our inaugral issue. Available @ NADIRMagazine.com
One must enjoy seven servings of weird in these dark and weird times, especially now.
Enjoy this feast of weird wonders, these outliers from the norm of other magazines.
The first issue is out!!
Physical copies available from NADIRmagazine.com or catch me at Authorcon tomorrow.
Digital from Amazon - or if you want to (rightfully) avoid using them, shoot me an email at nadirliterature@gmail.com

Today is the last day of the extended window!
Go, send stories! Horror, sci-fi, comedy, romance, whatever you have as long as it's weird as heck.
nadirmagazine.com for the guidelines
Just had our health insurance switch to United and... yeah, I get it
REMINDER: Today is the last day for the open subs, extended to August 15th for BIPOC authors.
Closes at midnight, last place on Earth. But really, I'm not gonna check to see if you submitted a minute after midnight on the Baker Islands. Just don't take the piss.

Aw fuck
There's something especially stinky about receiving rejections on a novella that lost its home.
I KNOW this book is good enough to be published, it had a contract for pete's sake, the self doubt isn't logical, but it hits hard regardless.
I'm going to be heartbroken if you're not wearing an oak leaf crown at voidcon
Why is nothing ever as good as Silent Hill? Why can't more things be Silent Hill?
Are the neurotypicals okay?
"The cherry on a shit sundae" isn't something you hear on a federal contracting call every day.
Open now! Send me your most unhinged tales!!

I also 100% will get something published under the name Lance Pittman in the near future.
I've been receiving emails for Lance Pittman for a solid month now and I really can't remember if I used a fake name to sign up for something or if someone has pulled a dastardly prank upon my inbox.
Perhaps it was I, the dastard.
I made a substack post about my tumultous past year and what it taught me about writing as a creative outlet and as an industry. It'd mean a lot if you checked it out

As we're about a week away from opening up I want to clarify:
We believe trans kids have a right to exist, no one is illegal on stolen land, and in a free Palestine.
This is to say if your socials or story have right wing bs, the sub is getting deleted without consideration or response.
Figure I'll throw it out here too - if any publisher feels like putting out a creature feature novelette, get at me.
A swamp, airboats, and plenty of body parts floating around, what's not to love??
Two weeks away from opening up! Bring me your weird, your deranged, your sad, your horny, make me worry about how tf I'm going to edit your story.
My neurodivergent ass has finally learned that "hit me up if you need anything" and "feel free to reach out in the future" aren't meant sincerely.
You people know you can just NOT say that, right? Shit's confusing.
Thanks, Scott!
Nadir Magazine's call for weird literature opens July 15th
