Always a last minute club person…
The rain woke me up so I walked through our Kaneohe house feeling lonely and a little frightened, yet appreciating the darkness which is so beautiful. Also, the geckos are singing outside.

I attended the reading for this microchap anthology and every single author blew me away. I can’t wait to dig in!
Amazing job @dianegotauthor.bsky.social and @emergejournal.bsky.social!
And to my dear friend, @kimsrogers.bsky.social CONGRATS! This is such a feather in your cap!!

Belated book mail... listen, y'all should read this. Gorgeous and painful and visceral. One of my favorite flash stories is in here, but there are so many others that just flattened me.
Congrats on the book, KOSS.

My last publication of 2024 is a total bucket list thing... @ironhorselitrev.bsky.social puts out a gorgeous publication, PhotoFinish, at midnight of New Year's Eve. And this year my little story, "Afternoon Nap" is in their pages. I think I can die happy now... issuu.com/ironhorserev...

It was an absolute honor to have @amymarques.bsky.social create stunning collage art for my @welkinprize.bsky.social micro "Clean Floors". So many stunning art-flash combinations in this collection, I can't wait to receive my copy of Duets+1.

Brain dead after 4 days of workshopping in Chicago. Next up? Salt Lake City to move my kid into a dorm. Home early next week. I really miss my cat.

And, I just discovered you can pin "Flash Lit" and adjust its priority so that it shows up first in your feed. Just press the arrows to the very left. (Not sure if we could do this over at the other place, I didn't play around with things much.)
