I'm in a thing!! Yay!!! 27 short stories, poems, essays, flash-fiction, and more in an anthology written and published by St. Louis Writers Guild Members. If you enjoy the pieces in the book, please consider reading more of their work. www.amazon.com/dp/B0GWTZR1ZG/ #writesky #writing #booksky

New desk mascot acquired #writing

One of these years I will conquer the romance genre instead of letting it conquer me. Did not move on to round two, but I think I'm going rewrite it as a full-on romcom. #writing #writesky #NYCMShortStory

Just finished My Best Friend's Exorcism by Grady Hendrix. It is entirely 80s, entirely bizarre, and a friendship to die for. Absolutely recommend. #booksky

I am thrilled that my #horror story, Tales from Mars, placed for the upcoming anthology relase from @tldrpress.bsky.social! They support some wondeful charities with these release, so can't wait to share when it's available. #writing #writesky

Outside, blanket of snow. Inside , blanket of cat.

January weather has finally arrived. #stlouis #winter

Between NYC Midnight Short Story, Not Quite Write, Writer's Playground and First Line, I may have overbooked my January. #writesky #writing

Prepping an older short story to submit for an anthology. I really didn't submit this year, so other than contests, this will bring my 2025 submissions up to 1. Hopefully, next year will be the year of throwing stories out there. #writesky #writing

Woke up to 74 degrees tshirt weather, going to bed in 26 degrees.

Twas the first night of vacation And all through the house Not a creature bothered stirring....

Just finished, and I continue to adore this series. #booksky

Submitted TL;DR 2K Terror with 20 minutes to spare. Think I'll spend the evening with Spinal Tap II. #writing #writesky #tldr2kterror

Struggling with a concept currently. Anyone else having that issue with their prompts? #tldrterrors

Freezing night, snuggly cat.

Just finished this. Oh my heart, all the stars. A heroic tale of the famed Knight Una the Everlasting, and a love to fight time for. Full stars. #booksky

I hope everyone had a relaxing and beautiful Thanskgiving. Grateful for friends, family, and quiet moments.

20, 692 words since the 1st, and roughly 12 more scenes in the WIP. Woo-hoo. #novnov #nonotwrimo

I love when author goes meta. From The Everlasting by Alix E. Harrow: "How's the book coming?" He asked the question two or three times a week, because he was at heart a bastard who reveled in the suffering of others. #writesky #booksky

Just finished The Life Impossible by Matt Haig. I'm loved this more than Midnight Library (which I adore). Maybe it's the island setting, or deciding on an adventure after retirement, but this is the hopeful, human-affirming story I felt like a needed. 5 stars. #booksky

When you are trying to get in your word count for the day but remember it's pumpkin pancake season. #nonotwrimo #novnov #writing

Tuesday night pizza, writing, and fall has arrived. Jacket weather ahead. #writing

No matter where you live or if you’ve never protested before, there’s a local No Kings Day event for you. Join a peaceful protest to make it clear that We The People will never bow down to a wannabe king: www.nokings.org?SQF_SOURCE=i... #NoKings

Writing partner for the night, and writing the midpoint scene. Halfway there. #writesky

Got to spend the evening with the ladies of the Big Muddy Mayhem podcast for a Live! Tonight was a serial killing dentist and the life of Agatha Christie. #bigmuddymayhem #cheshireinn

Just finished Bury Your Gays by Chuck Tingle. All the stars. It's horror and gore, mystery, and a group of queer friends trying to literally survive Hollywood. This is going in my re-read pile. #booksky

I do love a less common villain. Think I'll add devilish tech support, wicked window cleaners, and unholy garbage men. Feel free to keep this one going....

Gorgeous moon tonight, and another 800 words. #writing #moonshine

If you have Netflix, a bit of whiskey, and some tissues, Famous Last Words is an interview of Jane Goodall meant to be released after her passing. This incredible woman is still offering hope after she left us. Six out of five stars. #janegoodall #futurehope #whatshouldIwatch

It's been a few days, but back at it. All the words. #writing

WIP is just over 24,000 word, yay. Also, here's pics of my coworkers today. #writing

Making up for yesterday, dinner and word count. #writing

Planned to get some writing done at the Gardens yesterday. Words zero, but flowers for the win. #writing #bestlaidplans

Special John Stewart episode of Daily Show tonight. Looking forward. #currentdystopia #Kimmel

RIP good sir. Graham Greene was one of those actors that randomly appeared in shows and movies, and it was always a delight. www.cbsnews.com/news/graham-...

Happy 7th birthday to our boys. Sherlock and Watson are our middle-aged aged furbabies. #cats #furbabies

Maybe I'll get there on the next one. Congrats to everyone who made the list! #writing #notquitewrite

Ok. I did it. It's in. #FLESHFiction #notquitewrite

1400 words, a tiramisu latte, and a gingerbread macaron - because there appears to be a French pastry cafe nearby. Yay. #writing #writersky

Submitted with minutes left, what a hectic reason. It's not great, but it's under 500 words. #nycmidnight #writersky #contests

Why August. Why must we go on like this.

Not to add to all of the doom scrolling out there, but are we about to drop to 49 states? www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025... #wtfnews #hatethisreality

Over 3000 words after work tonight. I've missed that magic #writesky

Anyone else sign up for the NYC Midnight 500 this weekend? #contests #nycmidnight #writersky

I have a friend in need of help; we are trying to keep her from the statistics of homelessness. If anyone out there can spare a little, it would mean the world. gofund.me/3c745a4e

A little late, but this weekend, I did a thing. Yay! #writesky
