There is too much snow here. I'm running out of places to put it when shoveling. I can't throw snow that high! It's starting to feel like 2015 around here.

Last night, had my 2nd meetup for the new writing group I'm in. I'm so lucky to be in the same room w/ such skilled authors, reading their work & getting their thoughts on my work, but I also feel like the dumbest kid in the room when I'm w/ them all.

Just discovered that @nightmare-magazine.com is still open to submissions until tomorrow night! Gasped and then, with trembling fingers, submitted a piece of flash, adding to their pile of 2400 submissions this month. Nothing ventured and all that.

Week 1 of the Codex Writers Weekend Warrior flash fiction challenge has begun. I have a story idea. I must approach it slowly and cautiously, so as not to spook it.

Pretty much exactly the same as you. I do feel less guilty about DNF-ing now than when I was in my 20s. When I DNF, though, I do make a point of analyzing what wasn't working for me about the book. But, yeah. I've DNF'ed some otherwise very popular books (The Martian, for example).

#WeekendWarrior #Flashfiction prompts dropped on Friday. No ideas at all on Saturday. Fleeting images & isolated words emerged Sunday morning. Just finished a 743 word story-shaped thing. Whether it's any good or not? Well, that wasn't really the point.

Decided to roll up my sleeves and dive back into the Weekend Warrior Challenge this year. Took a two year hiatus, but this year I'm feeling it, and I'm excited.

Wow. Nothing like Christmas to bring out “good will toward men” in the grocery store… 🙄
Just watched someone start screaming at someone else because their cart was blocking the graham crackers. Like, actual screaming.

Analysis: OpenAI is a loss-making machine, how can it survive?
Don't call it a bubble! Loss-making monster OpenAI is on the hook for $1.4 trillion (with a T) in compute commitments. How can this go on?

Happy update! I am now officially of the Cambridge Science Fiction Workshop. Apparently, I didn't scare them off with my postpartum changeling ghost story. This is very much feels like a little fish in a big pond moment for me in the best way.

I was invited to audition for an open spot in an SFFH writing group that is populated by some seriously talented authors. Just sent them my audition story, and I am nervous as hell about it. Imposter Syndrome is hitting me so hard right now.
