"Because If I Hadn’t Taken Your Call, I Would’ve Always Wondered / if our relationship was nothing but a game to you" Such a skill to create these tiny one-sentence micros. @loricramerwriter.bsky.social does it so well: templeinacity.com/micro-fictio...

Happy to have a 50-word micro with an 11-word title in @templeinacity.bsky.social. Thank you to editor @eireneeleni.bsky.social! templeinacity.com/micro-fictio...

"They kept an old lady in the attic and no one cared except it wasn’t an old lady it was a grown woman and they figured she deserved it except it wasn’t a grown woman" Wow. One of the best pieces I've read all year. Stunning.

being a writer is just knowing how to write then forgetting then remembering over & over until you die

Have you ever read a great story by O'Connor, Carver, Baldwin, Chekhov, Malamud, or any classic short story writer, then been inspired to write your next story under their influence? That's what we want. Send us that!

Sometimes I look at my bookshelves and am overwhelmed by how much heart and heartache went into each book.

Okay, one more draft. #amwriting

Sadly re-posting the interview, as notice of this iconic magazine's hiatus is released. Two more issues will be published this year. It's truly been an honor serving on the staff since last fall. Especially grateful to @kristintenor.bsky.social for the experience.
