For those of you keeping track at home, I made a second bound book. The end papers got all fucked up, but I didn't make the same mistakes this time, so I'm counting that as progress.
I made a book! I made a lot of mistakes. Many of them are visible. But I learned to do something cool and the next one will be technically better. I did get a second kit from a different seller so this is happening.
I made a million mistakes but at the end of the day: I have a hardback book! I'll post more photos tomorrow after it's dried.
Amazed my micro made the @wigleaf.bsky.social longlist! Thank you to the editors who do the work that make this possible every year. And thank you to the editors of @susurrusmag.bsky.social for publishing it! www.susurrusthemagazine.com/crown-shyness
Physical copy of the latest issue of @gooseberrypielit.bsky.social and it contains my anglerfish story!
He likes them overdone. I like them underdone. We're both right.
Happy 9th birthday to my April Fools Bunny! He's an old man now but just as cute as ever!
Up next: The Last Day by @kimmagowan.bsky.social from @mooncitypress.bsky.social
Waiting to see if we're getting a tornado tonight or not, so I decided to get a little wild. @thalierr.bsky.social
Did I show you how this turned out? This blossoms and fan pattern came out great. Tried a new border approach so this one has tassles!
After Marriott bumped me, karma cane through and got me this sweet suite at the 1840s Carrollton Inn. I had never stayed in a place this nice in my life. They brought breakfast to my room every morning! And it was included. I still can't believe it worked out.
Wow, my horoscope is on the nose! As many of you know, I'm autistic which, in this case, means I'm incapable of insincerity. So if I said something nice to you at AWP, I meant it.
Finally got my hands on a copy of Moon City Review, which includes this banger from Jessica Klimesh!
Come and visit the wizard! He'll tell you what you should read! @thirtywestph.com

Trying out my new ink pad for #AWP. Come by Thirty West Booth 724 from 1:30-2:30 on Thursday if you want a stamp!
Three years (and one month) ago on a different Friday the 13th, Everything's Changing was released into the wild from the handmade world of @thirtywestph.com. I couldn't think of a better home for such stories of strangeness. If you want a signed copy for $13 (US only), DM me.
Catching up on #Traitors, and Alan is giving Heat Miser. No shade. It was delightful.
