Day 1 of AWP book haul and wow wow wow
featuring these and others @writesloud.bsky.social @tcboudreau.bsky.social @stanchion.bsky.social @mississippireview.bsky.social

The last time I went to AWP was Philly and it seemed chill and manageable. This AWP is like two and a half times more people and it’s kind of a hot mess. They have no overflow contingencies in place. They need a bigger boat. But it’s still amazing to meet so many people irl for the 1st time

So let me get this straight: Trump fired Noem after she lied about spending over $200 million of taxpayer dollars on ads promoting herself.

But he wouldn't lift a finger after two Americans were killed by her federal agents?

Kristi Noem got fired which is absolutely awesome and means there are now like 8 luxury private jets with no one to coo and cuddle in with Corey Lewandowski

Walked into AWP and immediately saw three people I knew! And two I’d never met irl. I think my work here is done.

Wow, I had no idea n too of everything else you also do the design. That’s amazing!

Looks great!

Thank you!

Congratulations!!

Wow, this piece is amazing, made me feel ever so slowly undone

Happy Purim!

Flurries like this are rare (and kinda awkward!) but I’ve published 3 micros and 1 short story in the past 2 weeks! So grateful to the editors of these journals for believing in my work. I feel so lucky to be part of the short fiction community.
And now…some links! 👇

Likewise!!

Very cool! Hope you have a great time

Hey there! Do you see how things are in this Sky of skies? Were you expecting the worm moon to get mean with its eclipse? Absurd! What the worm moon likes best is pathways, tunnels, puzzles made into other puzzles. #65 features new works by 21 high authors, just look-see!

Thank you, Kathy!!

The Designer I told him silently that the voice always comes back. It tells me I will keep losing, that love is a trick life plays before people disappear.

A short story I’m so proud to have in @doricliterary.bsky.social called, “The Designer,” about mirrors, music, magical scripts, and the illusions of love and the self

For the evening crowd, if you’re looking for a short read to wind down the weekend, I have a new story in @doricliterary.bsky.social called “The Designer” that I’m so happy to have back online in revised & rejuvenated form.
