How long will I be able to focus on these solarpunk novel revisions when all I want to do is start my space horror novel? The self-control is barely self-controlling.

I’m teaching a speculative poetry workshop at @cymerafestival.co.uk on June 7th— tickets and weekend passes on sale now! If you’re in Edinburgh and want to write more weird, wondrous poems, please come along! www.cymerafestival.co.uk/programme-26...

Writing a book is a MASSIVE achievement. Even if it's not perfect. Even if no one has read it. Even if it never gets published. No matter what happens next, appreciate everything you have done so far. The simple act of finishing a first draft is worth celebrating. You did that. 🎉

My poem "Permission" is now free-to-read @heartlines-spec.com! I hope this cozy underwater poem about love, acceptance, and family gives you the warm-fuzzies. 💍🪸🌊 www.heartlines-spec.com/permission-b...

Just finished reading @mimulus.bsky.social’s poetry collection, Time Travel is Easy, for the 2nd time & it’s as gorgeous as ever. It’s brimming w poems that are witty, luminous, sad, & numinous. The ways it weaves Deep time with lush geologies, ecologies & queerness is exquisite. Do get a copy!

Making another pass through some chapters after a little rearranging, and it's hitting tonight. I've written a damn good book

If you are a non fiction agent, lmk if you like spooky memoir essay collections, I guess?

Join me in the sluuuuuush.
