If any AWP people are hunting for water, there are some bottles in the vending machine on the second floor between the men’s and women’s bathrooms by the non-moving escalators. The opposite side as the model boat. All the other ones I saw were completely out. #AWP26

AWP is great, but the convention center pizza is definitely not. Is there anything decent that I can plan on getting tomorrow? #AWP26

Over Drinks — Ghost Parachute I used to create a miniature horse, just using the power of my thoughts. I performed the trick only when we had guests over, when the children were peeking through the stairs at our friends pouring hi...

This will be my first time going as well! I think it's going to be an amazing experience. I just wish I could be in many places at once since there are so many panels and offsite events happening at the same time.

Friends, acquaintances, writers headed to #AWP26: Anyone last-minute looking for a place to stay & want to share a room? DM me if yes. I have a double at the Lord Baltimore Hotel, & would love to split the cost / share (plus it's haunted, & I'm scared, lol). It's very close to the Convention Center.

There, you see, I'm
fine. I'm just, exactly, fine.

I’m in the middle of reading too many books at once. The allure of a new book is just so enticing!

I was having a bad day, but going out for a latte definitely made it better. This is called the Honey Badger, and it’s a latte with honey, cinnamon, and cardamom.

By the way, Kaleidotrope is open again to cover art submissions. As with everything, nothing AI-generated or assisted, but reprints are more than acceptable. You'll find the full guidelines, along with where to email me links to your portfolios or galleries, here:

In 2026 I definitely want to post on Bluesky more often. Hopefully this is an easy win. I just got so overwhelmed with all the different social media platforms I’m on.

Does anyone have a Boox e-reader? I’m debating about getting one. I’m hoping it will help reduce eye strain so I can read for longer periods of time.

I'm a poet because I need my writing to be true and authentic with maximum plausible deniability.
