Stop! Look! Listen! Kim Pittaway’s Viewing Recommendation | The Fiddlehead
I’ll admit it: I often feel ground down by the world. Climate. Politics. The economy. Patriarchy. Fascism. I try not to doomscroll—but then end up simply toggling between doom and puppies. My latest solution? Art-scrolling.

In September, I often get a "new year" feeling. Time to look back at the goals I set in January, reevaluate and adjust. I have learned to be flexible with my writing goals, just like I need to be flexible with my health. Anyone else find September a time of renewal or readjustment? #writinglife

Three new rejections this week but I feel some acceptances on the horizon. Do you do re-edits of your pieces when you receive a no? Or do you trust they will find a home as-is? #writing #writerslife

So, if you have a submission (literary magazine) that has been sitting "in progress" for months past the expected response time, do you query? How do you decide? #writinglife #writers

Does anyone else get nervous thinking about simultaneous submissions? I know I need to up my game by spreading my work out a bit more but for some reason I have never been able to submit one piece to more than one place at a time. Any tips? Or should I just do it? #writinglife #writers #publishing

One of my 2025 intentions is to rack up as many rejections as I can. (It means I am actually writing) So, five pieces out today, I currently have 11 pieces being looked at by 6 different publications... And I am writing bits of my book each day. A good start to the year! #Writing #amwriting
