I'm determined to finish this first draft before moving onto revising my other stories. Cause I know take forever to come back to it, if at all, if I stop now.

Very loaded month, as I have two short stories coming out from @lightspeedmagazine.com @nightmare-magazine.com that could not be more different. Space opera about lost cultural history vs horror about existing

Our 19th anniversary issue of Clarkesworld features original fiction by Isabel J. Kim, Fiona Moore, H.H. Pak, Greg Egan, Liu Maijia, Carrie Vaughn, and Phoebe Barton. Online now at: clarkesworldmagazine.com/issue_229 Subscriptions available at: clarkesworldmagazine.com/subscribe/

TODAY IS THE ONLY DAY YOU CAN REPOST THIS!!!

People cancelling their Game Pass subscription after that price-gouging increase. Love to see it.

Received a second round rejection. Aw, man. That one stings.

Just reached Act 3 of my first ever playthrough of BG3, and I have ended up locking myself out of a Gale romance. Halsin it is, then.

WE'RE LIVE! AND WE ARE SO EXCITED! Back now to support a new magazine of speculative fiction by 2SLGBTQIA+ authors and artists! Snag some amazing rewards, including discounted subscriptions! Support queer art! And help us SMASH DAY ONE! www.kickstarter.com/projects/hyb...

Now I COULD revise the stories that need revising, send them off into the world OR I could draft a whole different story to add to that list of stories that need revising. I think we all know which option I'm going to go for.

So exhausting..

Folks, we are well over a million. We can beat this thing. #PapersPlease

GOOD NEWS! For the first time ever, Huntington's disease has been successfully treated. A groundbreaking new miRNA treatment, AMT-130, slowed the progression of the disease by 75%. These results are likely to support the first approval of a genetic treatment for the rare neurodegenerative condition.

Out of curiosity how do you get consent from a drawing. Like maybe you should worry less about whether or not a cartoon has rights and more about whether real life trans and Palestinian people do

Punishing the artists who helped build your platform is a great way to make it fall apart.

Lord alive, they want fictional characters in fictional sexual situations to model consent for literal adults like a patronizing early 2020’s sitcom where the point of the writing is to convey that the writer’s been to therapy at some point

This is what courage looks like. This is what leadership looks like.

Submitted a story to a themed anthology that probably doesn’t include said theme enough to be accepted. But worth a shot!

if Jimmy Kimmel's political humor is too hot for you to handle, I'm not sure "snowflake" even cuts it as a term of derision for the level of fragility you've achieved

I have a new flash story in Lightspeed! "On an Unusual Kind of Spatially Distributed Haunting" Somewhere in the borderlands between folk horror and hard SF... Hard fantasy??? #Hauntology something. www.lightspeedmagazine.com/fiction/on-a... @lightspeedmagazine.com

I just… what the fuck is even happening

Don't you just love to look through Pinterest for some story inspiration and it's full of AI garbage?

Tis done! Better photo to come.

Hey! It's midnight on the east coast, so it's release day. Thanks to @undertow.bsky.social for being such a fantastic publisher. Thanks to family, friends, and fellow writers for their support. The short fic grind has ups and downs, but it's a blast. Fricken love what we do. Thanks for reading.

You know you have anxiety when you have a tattoo tomorrow and you're more nervous about possible small talk than possible pain.

I just had a feeling a submission I made a few weeks ago didn’t have my personal information removed as requested. I’m guessing there’s no way to see which document I sent via Moksha? 😬

THIS ANIMATION IS SO INSANE

I wrote 1.4K words today of a first draft. Fuck, that feels good.

I just got another hold on another story. Nobody panic again!!!!!

HEY THEY DID IT NOW IT'S STRETCH GOALS TIIIIIIIIIIIIIIME

ICYMI, I have a new story out in Lightspeed Magazine about lovers aboard a doomed science vessel!! It's short but loaded with joy and grief and lavish descriptions of alien and not-so-alien food. Check it out: www.lightspeedmagazine.com/fiction/last...

Really enjoyed this darkly beautiful story by @renanbernardo.com in @reactorsff.bsky.social! Also, perfect seasonal read, a ghostly story in space (so up my street!) Read it free here ✨️🚀 reactormag.com/the-hungry-m...

400 words into this first draft and realising it would work better in second person. Find and replace it is, then.

I seem to be thinking up many story ideas that involve gods.

It's me! My story is out! Writing this story almost broke me, and I'm so happy everyone will get a chance to read it!

We need your support in the next 3 days, before the fall of eternal night. Help us breathe new stories that keep us alive, each word and phrase building the monster’s body, the one who rends and tears and protects us from darkness. kck.st/4mIkEm1

Just had fright of my life with the UK emergency alert test that I’d totally forgotten about.

It’s about time for my annual playthrough of Bioshock.

ATTENTION BRITAIN! 🇬🇧 The UK now has a petition to STOP CENSORSHIP by MasterCard and VISA of legal products! This joins the Australian and Canadian petitions that are gaining momentum. Come on, let's get these signed! And spread the word! The UK petition: petition.parliament.uk/signatures/1...

Just a reminder to check for your name in this list of books that OpenAI trained from. If your name is there, they probably owe you several thousand dollars. OpenAI cried that if everyone eligible author files, the company will go bankrupt, so I'm alerting every author I have ever spoken to.

We’re halfway to our goal, and only 5 days left! Please support us now for 2026 so we can read new stories by Eugen Bacon, Clay McLeod Chapman, Ai Jiang, Gwendolyn Kiste, John Langan, Premee Mohamed, Hailey Piper, Keith Rosson, Nisi Shawl, Molly Tanzer, Wendy N. Wagner, and more. kck.st/4mIkEm1

Hello new followers! I'm a spec fic author from Trinidad & Tobago. My latest book, THE NIGHTWARD, is a THE WITCHER meets Caribbean mythology mash-up. I wrote it in the wake of my granny's death & edited it as I battled cancer. I'd love if you gave it a look. www.harpercollins.com/products/the...

Uncanny rejection.

Timeline cleanse

“After all, the initiative outright says that the danger of pornography is that it acts as a vector for the ‘transgender ideology.’” If anyone needed evidence that their end goal is the erasure of queer visibility, and possibly even our existence itself, here it is. This is an existential threat.

the @3lobedmag.com Kickstarter is at $3,691 out of a $10,000 base goal! They have NINE (9) DAYS to go! www.kickstarter.com/projects/asf...

Just banged out the first draft of something. 900 words. The absolute bare bones. But, hey. First thing I've finished in . . . five months?

We love stories that kick at the helmets of cruelty, roar at the cries of intolerance, dance in the joy of the unusual! We love weird unpredictable wild dazzling queer noncompliant loud tales that celebrate the strange! Always have and want more! Let’s do 25 more years of this! kck.st/4mIkEm1

Spooky season is upon us.

Finally watched Thunderbolts today. Wasn’t too bad, to be honest.
