Writers on X/Twitter, here's a great opportunity - ideal if you're also a foodie 😁 x.com/TLTomljanovi...

This CNF touched a cord with me bc I got a Covid puppy and while she’s been a terror in her own way, she’s also my heart.

“until the dawn is pinking the sky” sigh, what a verb about endless possibilities

ghostparachute.com/issue/februa... ‘The edges of the cut on her forearm pucker in disapproval.’ @pleomorphic2.bsky.social always knows how to slice into the tenderest part of our hearts 💔

New CNF by @fionamckay.bsky.social! “I remember carrying her, my cousin, when I was ten and she was five and clingy as a limpet: two only children making siblings of each other, with none of the skills honed by everyday friction” www.claudineliterary.net/fionamckay

So chuffed to have a collab with @kathrynreese.bsky.social in @flightlit.bsky.social featuring names and storms, and also a super awkward neurodiverse interview in which I (cringe) say “more clearer or firmer” and that will now haunt me forever 😁 . flight-literary.ghost.io/kathryn-rees...

What could it be? My lips are sealed for 48 hours🤫

“I cup her in the folds of my t-shirt, a darkening and permanent stain upon my belly.” open.substack.com/pub/ratbagli...

oh, wow. This piece moved me. From the title to that first paragraph of coffee, crepes, buttery smiles and blue pills to Charlie and that closing paragraph. I predict a nomination for this.

A hat trick of stories from a wonderful writer and dear friend.

My tiny story from the @welkinprize.bsky.social shortlist. Thank you so much to @mattkendrick.bsky.social for choosing it, and for his work running the contest, and for being such a great teacher and human ✨✨

"I cup her in the folds of my t-shirt, a darkening and permanent stain upon my belly" Read "Melpomene's Mermaid Toothpaste" by @tomljanovic.bsky.social in Rat Bag Lit open.substack.com/pub/ratbagli...

“that splinter smile” sweet scary justice in @annewilkins.bsky.social micro

ICYMI: “Melpomene’s Mermaid Toothpaste” in @ratbaglit.bsky.social ratbaglit.substack.com/p/melpomenes...

Another fantastic piece by @tomljanovic.bsky.social

“If I were to name my muse, I would anoint her first with omega-3 fatty acid fish oil.” Okay, who wouldn’t want to read about mermaid toothpaste? A brief piece that ends with an oh-so-good hook by @tomljanovic.bsky.social in @offtopicpublishing.bsky.social

Eeek! I’ve got a drabble up on Rat Bag Lit. This story started out as CNF in the @offtopicpublishing.bsky.social Writers conference and evolved from there.

My friend made me the most delicious sour dough bread. Baked today. And how cute is the bike tea towel and wrapped it in? Life is good.

"We Had a Rule" Read "one Broken Rule" by @delgeo14.bsky.social in The Pride Roars today theprideroars.blogspot.com/2026/01/one-...

Darkly comedic flash by the incredible @sagetyrtle.bsky.social

Bwahaha 🤣 I’m snorting out loud. 20 years ago I was screamed at for using Wikipedia by a publisher. How the tables have turned.

Such a pleasure to be part of The Woolf pack❣️

Love @welkinprize.bsky.social contest run by @mattkendrick.bsky.social. For one thing, it's a drabble, which is probably my fav form. For another, it's free to enter!

Wonderful to see the uplift created by this, so I decided to pick a group today, one tomorrow + another on Sat to keep it going. Today's pick: @ronita.bsky.social @jenwithwords.bsky.social @susanlleary.bsky.social @melostrom.bsky.social Please message me your email ad & what recording you'd like

Thank you so much @thedrevlow.bsky.social for publishing my latest weirdness in @mrbullbull.bsky.social 'Obituary / Bryant Farmer (1975-2025)'
