Question for the flash writers also attempting novels: how do you make the transition to long form while still sounding like yourself? Asking for a friend whose instinct is to cut 70% of every scene and call it done.

Thrilled to have this micro up at @crowkeys.bsky.social! Thanks to @mattkendrick.bsky.social and @welkinpress.bsky.social for inspiring me to write this earlier in the year!

I have a micro up at Flash the Court today! flashthecourt.com/2026/02/27/b...

Everyone is writing a book and I can’t write a story over 500 words. Turning my attention span into a craft choice.

Seeing a lot of year-end wrap-ups, and while I’m deeply grateful to have several flash/micro pieces published in 2025, I also want to shout out my best rejections. These editors took the time to offer kind words, thoughtful feedback, and real encouragement…

Thank you to @necessaryfiction.com for including my micro in their Points of Light series! Feeling all the winter solstice feels, despite currently visiting Australia in peak summer 😅

So grateful to the editors at @blinkink50.bsky.social for this nomination. Still in shock!

A dream! Thank you @gonelawn.bsky.social for sharing my weird little story. The entire issue is stunning, so grateful to be part of it.

Delighted to be included and can’t wait to read the entire issue!

Flipping through this beauty from @blinkink50.bsky.social and getting even more excited to see my silly little story in the September issue 👀

Deleted Twitter and joined Bluesky last week. I knew it was time, but this Grok mess makes it feel like the universe gave me an early nudge.

Ever refresh Submittable on a Sunday night like it might trigger a response through inception? or witchcraft? me either.
