Eight years ago, I had no idea my favorite show was premiering on CBS All-Access. I'd seen news of a new Trek show but was working two jobs and applying to grad schools - plus, I refused to pay to watch it on principle. #StarTrekDiscovery

Happy to announce that my poem "Perish and Live Forever," which first appeared in MEXICANS ON THE MOON, has just won the @sfpoetry.bsky.social 's Dwarf Star Award for poetry. This award is for best micro poem of 10 lines or less. Many thanks to members who voted. It is a big honor. Much love!

Update: my goal to get the 2nd annual Celebrate Discovery fanzine out on September 24 isn't going to happen (due to me taking on too many things). However, 42 pages of new Trek loving art, essays, fanfic, and more will be out September 30!

I saw Goody Proctor & Gamble with the devil!

Poetry acceptance! My cyberpunk sonnet "Circuitry" will be out October 15 in @sfpoetry.bsky.social's Eye to the Telescope.

Full request for my Grief Moss novella!!!

Send more Star Trek stuff my wayyyyyy. I'd love to see more Picard seasons 1 and 2, Prodigy, and Discovery! (Only because they're my favorite.. I'm excited for any and all Trek!)

And now we're at 60,000! I've been thinking this first draft would be around 70,000 words (I'm quite the under-writer), and this still feels accurate. Here's to the home stretch! #MushroomCity

This book brings a very "I support lesbian rights AND lesbian wrongs" vibe to the party. #MushroomCity

My post-climate-crisis, hopeful heartache poem "After Now" is out today in this wonderful anthology!

Can't focus at work because I'm doing research for my Star Trek book 🤫

My new fantasy fiction magazine now has a website. We're still very fledgling, much baby. So please consider supporting us! www.nightmarketmag.com

Oof, I'm breaking my own heart with this lovers-to-enemies story. 💔

Kudos to editor @mariaschrater.bsky.social for her Birds issue of Eye To The Telescope, which gets a nice review here! therevelator.org/environmenta...

Behind the scenes, Stewart Baker and Casey Aimer have been hard at work redesigning and migrating our website. We are officially dot com, no more! Find us at sfpoetry.org

I am planning on starting a fantasy magazine called @nightmarketmag.bsky.social Follow this account for the latest updates on the project. 👇

My current goal is to believe in myself to the point of delusion.

There are so many good poems in this year’s Dwarf Stars anthology by @sfpoetry.bsky.social. Really enjoyed reading through it and selecting my favorites to vote on.

These workshop dreams are slowly becoming concrete. Excited to roll this out some day (soonish).

Added 3,100 words to #MushroomCity yesterday! That was the best writing day I've had in ages.

We've reached our highest funding level yet on Patreon, thank you for believing in us and our authors. Only $20 away from reaching our second funding goal and raising our poetry pay rates. www.patreon.com/radonjournal

Nobody panic: #MushroomCity has 50,000 words.

It's a writing day! 🎉🎉🎉

Feels like I'm doing everything except working on my book today🙃

my latest novel is a romantasy! 🔥⚔️🔥 BURN UP IN VICTORY🔥⚔️🔥 Serafina's brother has eloped, and left her with their mother, and society. Lorenzo's best friend eloped, and left his damnable sister here. they're not really enemies but they might as well be books2read.com/burnupinvict...

Found this slug having a good munch on this puffball mushroom yesterday. 🍄🧪

Tomato q - is this leaf curl from heat or under/overwatering?

Are YOU a @sfwa.bsky.social member? There’s an important point in the agenda TOMORROW (7/25) regarding poetry as a Hugo category. Please read Lynne’s editorial and join us to vote yes.

Historically, I've struggled to edit and revise my longer work because it's difficult for me to read 90,000 of my own words in a short period of time. Any tips on tackling novel-length revisions?

These last 20,000 words or so of #MushroomCity are like pulling teeth. I just had the thought that I need to fall in love with the fictional fungus in order to get me to the finish line. What the heck? I need more sleep.

I hate Tuesdays.

Help, I've started writing Star Trek poetry and my brain will not stop whirring

I want to post more about my writing, but self-promotion feels weird.

Send me your Star Trek words and art and thoughts!
