Flash Fiction Festival haul! And when the t-shirt comes out, just saying, I want one. @sarahillswrites.bsky.social @fionamckay.bsky.social

On the last leg of this UK trip and thinking fondly of the time we just spent with @mattkendrick.bsky.social in the English countryside. He and I talk frequently over zoom, but it's so special to share space all day, cooking, playing games, walking, and talking randomly about everything. TY Matt. ❤️

I've been spending time preparing for @patriciaqbidar.bsky.social's book launch and it's going to be a real treat! Her book, "Pardon Me For Moonwalking" is an absolute treasure! And I'm honored to share the table with Jacqueline Doyle and Lynn Mundell. Hope some of our Bay Area locals will join us!

Wow wow wow, this is some lineup! So honored to share the stage with these fabulous writers! Come listen if you're in Baltimore! And the venue... I was reading George Saunders' newsletter the other week and on his book tour he hit this library, it's absolutely gorgeous...

Grateful to @jmwwlitjournal for the Best Microfictions nomination! Thank you! Link to the story: jmwwblog.wordpress.com/2025/06/11/f...

So very excited to have made the finalist list for @fracturedlit.bsky.social Flash Fiction OPEN , judged by the incredible Gwen Kirby. Thank you so much! I'm looking forward to unveiling my crazy, tasteless tabloid show story sometime in the new year. This one was so much fun to write!

A wonderful surprise in the mail yesterday, my copy of The Best of Stanchion. A few pieces I've read before was like revisiting an old friend, but then discovering other ones I missed, like the 18 word poem by Brian Baker that totally blew my mind... Great issue, Jeff, thanks for including me!

I was prepared to fight traffic and holiday shoppers for a huge craft fair in SF. But I could not find parking. As I always do re all things parking, I started talking to my dad. He led me away from Fort Mason to the Presidio Tunnel Tops. I’ve been meaning to come here. He always knows what I need.

Thank you so much, @inkfishmagazine.bsky.social for the nomination! inkfishmag.com/what-moon-wo...

Always a last minute club person…

The rain woke me up so I walked through our Kaneohe house feeling lonely and a little frightened, yet appreciating the darkness which is so beautiful. Also, the geckos are singing outside.

I attended the reading for this microchap anthology and every single author blew me away. I can’t wait to dig in! Amazing job @dianegotauthor.bsky.social and @emergejournal.bsky.social! And to my dear friend, @kimsrogers.bsky.social CONGRATS! This is such a feather in your cap!!

Here we go again! @bathflashaward.bsky.social

Another one of my parenting trans kids stories is up in @mooncitypress.bsky.social She's a beauty... 🦋 Such a thrill seeing it in print. Thank you so much, @mczyzniejewski.bsky.social 💜

I'm behind with my AWP posts, bc I picked up a little something xtra in LA. Covid. Ha. One week out, tho, & I'm good. Since everyone I hung out w already posted ALL the photos, I'll just share my book haul pic! I was v disciplined & am happy w my stash! Lots of NIF-ish things to read & ponder...

Belated book mail... listen, y'all should read this. Gorgeous and painful and visceral. One of my favorite flash stories is in here, but there are so many others that just flattened me. Congrats on the book, KOSS. DANCING BACKWARDS TOWARDS PLUPERFECT

My last publication of 2024 is a total bucket list thing... @ironhorselitrev.bsky.social puts out a gorgeous publication, PhotoFinish, at midnight of New Year's Eve. And this year my little story, "Afternoon Nap" is in their pages. I think I can die happy now... issuu.com/ironhorserev...

It was an absolute honor to have @amymarques.bsky.social create stunning collage art for my @welkinprize.bsky.social micro "Clean Floors". So many stunning art-flash combinations in this collection, I can't wait to receive my copy of Duets+1. amybookwhisperer.wordpress.com/duets-anthol...

For Mac: Word > Preferences > Privacy > Manage Connected Experiences. Turn off "Connected Experiences". I'm no tech person, but it looks you'll have to do this for each device.

Finally getting a moment to sit down and just sink into this issue. “American Tea” is just remarkable… @stanchion.bsky.social

My first story in a physical lit mag where I can flip through the pages and touch my story. And it's a drop dead gorgeous magazine on top of everything else. Thank you so much @stanchion.bsky.social for supporting my words! Pre-order if you haven't already!! www.stanchionzine.com/product-page...

I have a new story up on MicroLit Almanac! Started in a @smokelong.bsky.social workshop! I'd be so happy if you checked it out! www.birchbarkediting.com/microlit-alm...

Brain dead after 4 days of workshopping in Chicago. Next up? Salt Lake City to move my kid into a dorm. Home early next week. I really miss my cat.
