Thank you x1000000 to everyone who has read/liked my stories, no matter if you followed or subbed. I was just telling a former professor today how I try to not re-read my work bc I've been too harsh on myself. I'm still finding my voice. But this definitely feels like coming back home 👾

Substack tweaked their shareable assets to where I am thinking of also changing how I create my designs on Canva — tbh, that part has been more challenging than writing anyway, so it has been a welcome shift. Maybe finish November with my current theme and switch it up next month, we’ll see 👾

Weekends are when I flesh out the story ideas I recorded as voice notes on my phone throughout the week, finish the stories I scribbled on Post-it notes or left half-typed on my Freewrite, & (attempt to) design accompanying images to those tales on Canva.
This is how I rage against household chores.

Two consecutive weeks on #Substack and 10 followers! 💜 I’m just a girl, in front of my #Freewrite, typing weird arse stories that have probably been told in many different versions a million times before. THANK YOU for taking the time to read mine 👾

If you've recently subscribed to me and my short stories — hello, welcome, and thank you very much for your support 💜

And yes, I use a template to announce my posts, I pre-schedule posts, and (just like Emily Dickinson) I love using the em dash — but I'm 100% human 🖖

Cheers y'alls 👾

A week ago, I started consistently sharing my stories on Substack. Today, someone I don’t even know subscribed. (Thank you, kind stranger)!

I’ll keep writing, posting, and hoping to connect with kindred souls. Here’s to the unknown and everything in between 👾

Heya, I’m Shay! I write speculative & pulp fiction short stories on Substack about the strange, cosmic, & the quietly unhinged moments hiding in everyday life. I'm also an RN/teacher who loves hanging out with my husband & our 3 cats—usually while plotting something weird on paper. See ya around :)
