I spent over a year of my life writing this collaborative craft book with eleven other (fantastic! talented! good-looking!) writers.

"Here, it’s always November. Wet earth on her back, arms pinned, his tongue that tastes of smoked fish."

Oof. Absolutely incredible gem from @kimmagowan.bsky.social in @centaurlit.bsky.social. I feel this one in my bones. 🔥🔥🔥
Thrilled to have a new story in @centaurlit.bsky.social! Many thanks to @lynnmundell.bsky.social for publishing it. This micro was drafted in @smokelong.bsky.social fitness, so thanks @christopherallen.bsky.social for the prompt and all my workshop mates for feedback.

One of my favorite stories in one of my favorite places, I feel lucky I got to read an earlier draft.

This is 🔥 “Like in the movies, we sit on the hood of the car, propped against the bug-crusted windscreen, watching for fire in the sky, waiting for something to warm between us.”
Thrilled to have a new story up today at @flashfrog.bsky.social 🐸.

I say, Yeah, but cancer, because that’s all I can think to add. Then I remember cancer is a constellation, so I squint at the stars some more, but all I see is a mess of white dots, blinking and unblinking. Gorgeous @sarahillswrites.bsky.social @flashfrog.bsky.social

When we run out of nice things to say to each other, Gil and I watch TV like we’re each just a brain in a jar, sitting side by side. Except instead of brains we’re hearts. And by hearts, I mean sex…
