Hi, Bluesky! I’m Dad. I’m also one of those writers who spends all their time avoiding writing.

@cstegman.bsky.social bro I haven’t been keeping up on this app lately, but I was just cruising for some short stories to read yesterday and came across your latest in Shotgun Honey. What a great read! And super creepy!

Absolutely batshit you can watch on live TV a rotting whale eating, bear corpse vandalizing, brainworm eaten, anti-science sex pest who drove an ex wife to suicide & looks exactly like corrupted Leland Palmer from Twin Peaks & sounds like Megatron auditioning to be head of America’s healthcare.

Does anyone else do this? I’m trying to declutter books so we can host friends tomorrow, and I just realized that I have four books going right now — two are story collections, one novel, and one novella. #booksky

When I was a young writer, I received a LOT of rejections. Now, after decades of hard work, I am no longer young.

f) the fuck is this shit, who do I think I am, why am I here
g) oh man I just figured it all out

Your monthly reminder:
Keep writing. When no one cares, persist. When things appear to be crumbling, keep at it. When it's difficult, push through. When you feel alone, listen to the stories in your blood. Just write. The world needs you to tell your truth through your words.

Writing day!
Every weekend (or holiday) my wife and I take turns taking a few hours out of the house for ourselves, and lately we’ve both been spending them at our fav haunts working on our WIPs. Today is my day. Library here I come!

What’s our read count this year? Talking books, I’m up to ten (will be finishing #11 in the next week or so) plus two short story collections, and probably 50 pieces of short/micro fiction.
I’ve *bought* probably three times that many, naturally 🤣
