I recently got an acceptance letter today and moved to accept the contract. :)

I've been doing some beta reading. That's why I've been quiet. No new works are being talked about because I'm currently fixing the works that I currently have. I'm finalizing my dragon novel, fixing my owl novel, and touching up one of my short stories that I plan to submit to trollbreath.

I've been recently banned from a streaming channel because a moderator from said stream took a peek at my linktree and saw the gen ai art in said stories. I do not support gen ai. Those pictures were forced into my stories against my will. As a result of the ban, I removed the offending links.

Issue 10 is landing later today! Still putting it all together

Check out my latest short story, "Dragon Runs on Coffee," a fantasy about a human and a dragon trying to navigate their way into an audition. hellitself.com/dragon-runs-...

I've been in a revision kind of mood as of late.

A new short story is out. Please check out "How a Phoenix Comes Back," one of my more darker tales. #writingcommunity societyforritualarts.com/rw/2025-autu...

I need beta readers. Requirements: 1. NO GEN AI CRITS 2. SWAPS, I'M NOT PAYING MONEY AND I'M NOT GIVING REVIEWS ON FIVVER. 3. EVIDENCE BASED PRACTICE. Comment below and we'll chat about our works in public and DMs.

I've been beta reading, and I picked up a longer piece to beta read. :) So i'll be busy with that for the next week. :)

I spent my afternoon revising my novel. I wonder how it will fare in the future.

I spent a handful of hours looking at my owl novel. I wonder how betas will receive the novel.

700 words into a different document. It's a freewrite using old characters in new situations. I wonder how that will turn out.

I don't want to make a big deal about it, but I have two short stories that are available for awards: "Ding Meets Blink" and "Pala." Both of them can be found in my linktree. :)

@reggiekwok.bsky.social is the sort of writer we need right now: Someone with a distinct and unique voice. I generally enjoy his work, but when this one was submitted I knew we had to publish it. It's entertaining and timely. And maybe just a bit symbolic. I hope you like this one as much as I do
