I don't read nearly enough flash fiction so I decided for the month of April that I'm going to keep going with #FlashInTheFeed and share a piece each day for accountability. Today's piece is "Shelf Life" by Rowan Tate in @splitlipthemag.bsky.social: splitlipthemag.com/flash/0226/r...

My first ever fiction publication went live on the @havehashad.com site five years ago today! The piece got a crazy amount of likes and reshares on a certain social media website that is no longer fun! One of my favorite authors shared it! www.havehashad.com/hadposts/how...

I'm getting married in TWO DAYS 👰👰🏿 and it would mean a lot to me to have the giveaway for my upcoming book promoted more (twenty copies up for grabs! I don't want to worry about social media this weekend!) so good people of Bluesky, please do your thing and repost this like mad.

Yayyyyyyy

"AU:the night your husband proposed" by @vicnogaywrites.bsky.social in @fracturedlit.bsky.social is a haunting micro about a relationship. It'll live in rent free in my head so now it has to live in yours too: fracturedlit.com/au-the-night... #FlashInTheFeed @smokelong.bsky.social

Double posting for #FlashInTheFeed because I forget yesterday! So much teen angst and nostalgia in this one and it's very clear why it was a Grand Micro contest finalist for @SmokeLong: www.smokelong.com/stories/unli...

Every line of "Grass Cuts" by @j4prez.bsky.social is beautiful and heartbreaking at once! Read it here: freeflashfiction.com/fiction/gras... #FlashInTheFeed

Messy families! Mom's Loser Boyfriend! Beach! Birds! Teenage Girl Feelings! New fiction up at @jmwwjournal.bsky.social: jmwwblog.wordpress.com/2026/03/18/f... Thanks @thorntonforreal.bsky.social for the thoughtful edits!

“I take out the trash and spot my mother with her nose nuzzled into her boyfriend’s neck. He sticks his tongue out at me. I flip him the bird.’ Read “Old Enough to Know” by @christinaltudor.bsky.social in @jmwwjournal.bsky.social today!

Flash Fiction: Old Enough to Know by Christina Tudor "You're gonna be such a great mom someday," Aunt Janie says while I clean up after dinner. A spray bottle in one hand and a rag in the other. I trace circles across the mahogany dining table that get wider and wider.

After many tries, I'm thrilled to share that my story about a mother whose child turns to stone has been selected for the 2026 anthology! Thank you @karjon.bsky.social and @sharontelfer.bsky.social! Thrilled to be included in this lineup with so many flash writers I admire!

Thrilled to be part of the amazing NFFD anthology with my story about trolls under bridges!! 🥳 🧌 🐐 Thanks so much to the editors, looks like a fantastic lineup..

Congratulations to everyone who made the cut for what will be a fab anthology! Commiserations to those who missed this time; I've been there myself. Don't give up on those stories, we had to make some close calls. Thanks to everyone who subbed - so enjoyed reading them all. #FlashFiction #NFFD

This is so sad, @christinaltudor.bsky.social !! Well done.

I am so excited to have a piece out with the @cincinnatireview.bsky.social . This piece means a lot to me and publishing in Cincinnati Review has been a dream come true. Thank you again to Andy and Lisa for giving this piece a home. I’m so honored

Asking for a thing: what are your favorite hermit-crab stories? (Can be "that you've written" or "by somebody else")

95% of my publications this year have come from @smokelong.bsky.social!
