You could literally do a horror anthology based on the different ways this can go wrong.

What if AI dead mom ends up neglected just like one of those digital picture frames. Sold at a digital goodwill for $2.50.

Ahhh another story rejection at second stage - from a dream market though so I'll take that as a mini win 🥳🖤

Oh no. I stayed up late learning to crochet a granny square, now I'm too excited to sleep because I'm thinking about the granny square I'll do tomorrow. 🖤😴🧶

Ok after just about surviving the violence inducing start to this hobby, I think I might actually nearly be entering the 'maybe it actually could be relaxing' stage.... I might only ever do one stitch, but hey, lots of them make a blanket right?

Out of interest, how do you find out about anthology calls for flash and short fiction? Anyone have any good pointers/resources?

Ah woke up to a rejection from a flash piece that had made it past the first round, a special kind of conflicted sadness. Once again back to the writing board 🖤

A nice day of webinars about witch trials, chilling with the dog, and carving a pumpkin (the first we've had for years!). Now opted for Omen 3 for evening viewing. Happy Halloween y'all, I hope you are enjoying yourselves 🖤

Judging by the intermittent screaming down the street, kids are starting trick or treat at *checks watch* 9am these days 😅

So today would have been my mom's birthday. The second one since she passed. Grief has been a strange beast. Aggressive in the beginning, an ache over time. Now an occasional sense of unmooring. Time changes things, but doesn't change that she was an amazing woman who I still miss very much 🖤

When cats are confused by or upset about something, they just smack the shit out of whatever it is that's frustrating them and I think that's beautiful.

This is actually making me want to do violence 😅
Bought myself a starter crochet kit thinking it would be a nice relaxing autumny pastime and OMG it's so hard how do I do this my fingers don't work like this 😅

This kind of thing always reminds me of the time a guy said to me he wouldn't want to read fantasy books by women, suggested I 'try out some of Robin Hobb's books, HE's great' (oh, of course I'd already read some of HER books, she is indeed great) 😅
"Women are not usually into science fiction"is legitimately one of the stupidest, most divorced from reality sentences I have ever read in my life
okay grandpa, let's get you to bed

Finally watched Late Night With the Devil - more comedy than I was expecting, but very enjoyable and would probably stand up to a rewatch. Very well executed and some interesting threads. Reminded me a little of @thenosleeppodcast.bsky.social vibes 🖤

First draft done of a short story that's been brewing in my mind for a while now - folktale, scary (or maybe not?) cats, radioactive wasteland. It needs some cleaning up but nice to be in the wordmill again 🖤

Finished 'Old Soul' by Susan Barker last night and still thinking about it. Such a gorgeously written, unnerving horror. It's not loud, or gory, but it sneaks under your skin. Highly recommend (especially as it is spooky season, after all) 🖤😱

Yeah, I think I see the problem here - it's not that the video store was good, it's that you miss being a teenager
