There are always going to be people who, sincere or otherwise, want all art to conform to their controlling bland "manager policing their workers' bodily autonomy" perspective. And it's important to shut those people out in the cold and create art of wild indulgence and freako obsessions 🤘

I know many new writers worry about how readers will receive their work. That’s a valid concern! That said, two things: 1. This gig is only worth it if you write what YOU want. 2. Some will hate your stuff, but some will like it. Your readers. They’re awesome. Write for them.

ICYMI, our general submission window is open this entire month! We want stories and poetry with a strong voice and a sense of adventure, stuff that makes us feel things, stuff that lets us use our hearts and our brains and leaves us wanting more! Guidelines & schedule: www.havenspec.com/submit/

Billie's face breaks into a grin. “You sneaky #little bitch!” I lean over to smack her playfully on the shoulder. “That was an Oscar-worthy performance!” “Anything to ensure my maid of honor's happiness,” she replies, getting up to leave. “She’s all yours, Javi.” #WIPSnips Book 2 new STEM romance

Seth and Billie hold hands as they approach, the length of their joined arms wedged tight between their sides. Javi walks next to them. If he were in a cartoon, there would be a dark, stormy cloud over his head, thunder and lightning synchronized with his #movements. #WIPSnips Book 2 STEM romance

And Dorianne Laux's "The Shipfitter's Wife," which I just read today. (2/2)

I read 2 poems this year that made me immediately buy the respective collections and then some: Marie Howe's "Magdalene: The Addict" (1/2)

I have a little ghost story in SFPJ today - "Jimmy. Fucking. Bang." Thanks to Francine!

A reminder: if you write book reviews or want to pitch a review, I have a new book coming out in January. It's a collection of speculative short stories from @jacklegpress.bsky.social Getting eyes on books gets harder and harder, so I'd be grateful!

Reassembling short-fic collection. Reading through everything I've ever written. It's heartening to see how much better the newer stuff is. Makes me cringe that I once didn't see how the older stuff was flawed. Grateful to everyone who's ever published me, before and now #amwriting #amediting 📚💙🌶📚

It's November 1, which means OKD is open once more for free subs until we reach our cap! Learn more about us and submit your best poetry or flash fiction: okaydonkeymag.com/submissions

Apparently, what I needed to relax tonight was reading an article on possessives with gerunds vs fused participles, & another on verbs that demand gerunds as verbal direct objects, verbs that take either gerund or infinitive, & those that take gerund for continuous & simple verb for one-time action

"David laughs. 'You forget I know you both pretty well & these things tend to be obvious when you’re not emotionally involved. She’s been mooning over you since grad school. But I see now that things #might be much more balanced.'” Book 2 STEM romance series 📚💙🌶📚 #romancelandia #amwriting #WIPSnips

Hubs and I were discussing how traditional wedding vows need to be expanded to "...in sickness and in health, in obsession and delusion, till death do us part" because partaking in your spouse's quirky obsessions & hating their enemies & generally being their ride of die ought to be in the vows

"I'm so depleted by it all. By the years of whatever it is that we share, by her not talking, by my not talking, by the fact she’s moving thousands of miles away without a #care for what happens to me..." From Book 2 of upcoming STEM romance novella series 📚💙🌶📚 #romancelandia #amwriting #WIPSnips

An author interview with me on B for Bookreview, wherein I muse on writing logistics, characterization, and of course coffee tinyurl.com/4a7fs3kt #amwriting #booksky #romancelandia 📚💙 📚🌶

“Hey, Sal, why don’t we have a website?” “Uh, because we’re hitmen, Lucky.” “Yeah, but without a site, we can’t offer our clients special deals and stuff.” “Like what? Murder #deluxe? For another grand, we’ll make sure they're EXTRA dead?” “You always hate my ideas.” #vss365 #amwriting

I cannot believe I am contemplating using the word moist 🤮, possibly the most universally hated word in the English language (unless referring to a cake or a towelette and even so it's 🤢), because I'm running out of ways to say wet #amwriting #amediting #booksky 📚💙📚🌶
