Big thanks to @neonpajamas.bsky.social for this delicious blurb of Submarines. @mikeandrelczyk.bsky.social is one poet who is not out of his depth writing a novel.

Here's my dog wishing you a great start to your week 💙

Was thinking about those No Fear t-shirts from the 90s. When I was a kid, I liked how if someone came up to you and said, "Hey, are you scared," you could just point to your shirt. Of course I was also a dumb kid.

Thrilled to have 2 stories in the wonderful @bulbregion.bsky.social. Thank you @sarpsozdinler.bsky.social for giving them a lovely home ❤️ bulbregion.com/Two-Stories-...

It’s buy one get one + 4 zines free weekend at the malarkey site. Excludes preorder titles because they don’t exist in physical form yet, but we currently have a lot of backlist titles in stock. A curated sale, meaning I’ll pick a free book that pairs well with your order. malarkeybooks.com/store

Finally using my flower press 🌼 🌸

Sometimes I think about selling everything and living on a sailboat. To live that long on the water, I'd probably need more than I have to sell. So there should be an app where you can find other people who want to sell everything and live on a sailboat.

Dive-bar Will 💙 🍺

The first and only time I had beef tartare, I was stuck in Amsterdam. I was on my honeymoon, and my partner had accidently mailed our passports home. We would spend the next day at the American embassy getting emergency ones and rescheduling expensive flights.

I’ve got a new poem in the latest issue of @variantlit.bsky.social! variantlit.com/the-garden-o...

I hope my dog knows how much I miss her while I'm stuck at working at work 💙

This is an essay about weird girl fiction, and it could also be my entry application into the Tori Amos fan club

New flash at Milk Candy Review! Thanks to Cathy Ulrich for giving the Henries a home 💛 milkcandyreview.home.blog

Every day after work, I water my garden while wearing a blazer.

"Here's the book mail. It never fails. It makes me wanna wag my tail. When it comes I wanna wail book mail!" - Steve from Blue's Clues getting book mail

The best acceptances are when my dog decides to jump up the couch and sit with me while I'm reading 💙

Super excited to read this one by @johnchrostek.com from @malarkeybooks.bsky.social 💙

Something I like to do when I come across a bit of writing advice as if it were written by the hand of God is immediately go and commit the sin. Recently it was someone saying that people don’t speak in paragraphs. Pshaw! Challenge fucking accepted.

An interaction I had with a couple people while walking my dog after work today: Person 1: I like your dog. Person 2: You say that to everyone. Person 1 again: So what? I like dogs.

Before I start reading at a reading, I'm always worried someone in the audience is going to shout "Free Bird!"

Have you seen the June issue of Pithead Chapel? It’s a good one pitheadchapel.com/volume-15-is...

Some peonies I saw today 🌼 🌸

Celebrating a rainy spring day by baking some rhubarb custard bars 💙

Will is the man. Thank you, Will!

It's going to be a poetry weekend. Exicted to check out these two from @pizamapress.bsky.social 💙

"Above the last line: 'Greg, age 14.' I wondered if the person who'd bought my childhood home would paint over the line or forever leave 14-year-old me on the drywall." Read @willmusgrove.bsky.social in Monkeybicycle monkeybicycle.net/downsizing/

"no one wants to pay for insurance when a superhero might save you for free" Loved this, Will! @willmusgrove.bsky.social

Add this beauty by @willmusgrove.bsky.social to the canon of water tower climbing stories (someone please make an anthology)

"Like Dad, the customer had lost everything" lands like a tennis ball covered in backspin

"I tried and failed to shoot webbing from my wrist, so instead I found my childhood home on the horizon and placed a palm underneath it." I love this story by @willmusgrove.bsky.social 💙💙💙

I'm back in Monkeybicycle today with a new flash story. This one is about comic books. Check it out if you wanna 💙 📚 Link to the story: monkeybicycle.net/downsizing/

My current top three places to read: 1. Outside on my back deck 2. My bed 3. At the office on the boss's dime

capping off an unusually busy month with a little tiny micro in scaffold lit! I hope you will take a look. It won’t take long. You should do it www.scaffoldlit.com/microwriting...

Back to the season of randomly finding bird seed in my pockets.

A yellow-headed blackbird showed up at the feeder today 🐦

We open tonight at midnight, world!

Brunch Will (yes, I wear my Mabel shirt a lot) 💙🍺

I like how ennui sounds like unwhee. Like I'm so blah I've lost all my whees.

This kaiju keeps showing up at the bird feeder 💙

Dogs make life worth living.

Hey friends, have you used poetic forms or devices in your flash fiction? I'm writing about this now and I'd LOVE to include some more published examples. Thanks!

Mabel hopes you have a great day 💙

I’m back in @bulbregion.bsky.social with “Unsent Love Letters (& Other Regrets)” ♡ grateful to @sarpsozdinler.bsky.social + all of you who read this story 💌 📬 bulbregion.com/Unsent-Love-...

Time for the best part of the day, when I sit on the couch with my dog and try to think about nothing.
