Thank you so much @brettpribble.bsky.social for publishing and nominating my story! And congrats to my fellow nominee, @djpoissant.bsky.social

You ever get the feeling that you might be on to something great, that the writing is finally flowing out of you after so long, just to look up and see your greatest critic has also returned with that familiar look of judgment????

You know the reading MUST be good if a swarm of wasps go to war with you over the book!

Lucky for me I won the battle and can’t wait to read @writesloud.bsky.social’s latest from @stanchion.bsky.social

Some afternoon company while I read BLOB: A Love Story by Maggie Su

Though my time in New York was short, I had so much fun reading with such incredibly talented Writers AND a surprise Francine Witte spotting!

Sending all the thanks and lovings to Sunday Salon (but on a Saturday) for having me!
