With everything turning from terrible to horrific, I write. I write. I finish the damned novel and hope someone will read it. I have no leads, no contacts, I will have to act like a nobody-hero. Here I go!

So a couple of years ago I feverishly wrote this thing about mothers and kids, pretending it had nothing whatsoever to do with my own mothering or childhood (hahahahahaha) and @publishedbyjake.bsky.social want to publish it (WHAT?). Coming towards the end of the year!!!
ICYMI, yes, Sumitra's book Mother Karma, is coming soon!
Re-reading @pleomorphic2.bsky.social's upcoming JAKE chapbook for edits, and damn, this is really a good one.

It's hard to overstate how much I have learned from @smokelong.bsky.social workshops. The first course I ever took in CNF a few years ago was an absolute epiphany and many of the stories in my collection emerged from Fitness prompts. Sign up!!

Just realised this is (VERY SCARILY) happening next week. I'm exhausted just thinking about it. Hope I have better health days than I'm having today 🤪😂. If I do, I'm starting to think I might make it all the way to the top, spurred on by all the generous people who've sponsored me so far 🙏🙏❤️

Oh my, as always, a fantastic @fionamckay.bsky.social story! The writing! The ending! In the lovely @fracturedlit.bsky.social

It's not a demolition site it's a mass grave. It's not a demolition site it's a crime scene. It's not a demolition site its a homeland. It's not a demolition site it's Palestine. It's not a demolition site it's a genocide.

Struggling with social media (and words) these days, but I just rewatched @erinvachon.bsky.social's workshop at @smokelong.bsky.social, and it's a golden treasure! Love their witchy approach toward revision and also love the one-eyed, wide-armed creature at the beginning! 💛
