"...each degree a betrayal, each hour a soft lie told in freon." I'll read whatever Mr. Longmire has written.

I liked it better before the internet.

Peak cinema.

Almost 2 months of BOREALISTA. Don't fib, you totally didn't see that ending coming. #pulpfiction www.epicechoesmag.com/data/files/d...

Fucking hell, the Prince himself

The most whimsically absurd thing you'll read this Monday, and that's some stiff competition 🙃 Nice one, @supernaturalfeat.com 🤙

I wouldn’t tell anyone if I won the lottery but there would be signs

Intro time! I'm Sam, more or less. Old at writing, new at fiction, not too hung up on genre lanes, aspiring multi-award-losing pro. My stories so far blend elements of sci-fi, fantasy, dystopian & horror, from campy to pulpy to vaguely literary. Published a few; more + a novel in the chute.

Happy fortnight-a-versary to "BEST SEATS IN THE HOUSE," the feel-good blood and guts story of the season! There's no crying in baseball, but there will be blood... and maybe killer glitter. Surreal. Suspenseful. Subversive. Read it FREE at horrificscribblings.com #horrorlit 😱📚

BOREALISTA is a month old! Read it free in Epic Echoes 4. Fearless guide Ana leads a group of desperate migrants north through the dangerous borderlands toward the promise of safety and a better life. Their story may seem familiar... at first. #pulpfiction www.epicechoesmag.com/magazine

These are some first-rate rejections I've been getting. Immensely helpful individual feedback almost every time. I can't overstate how valuable that is as a new fiction writer. Bravo, editors that do that. #writingcommunity

Movie you’ve watched more than six times using gifs. (“Hard mode” no Star Wars, Star Trek, or LOTR)

New story out today in @horrificscribs.bsky.social! Read "Best Seats in the House" free at horrificscribblings.com and poke around the expert-curated exhibits while you're there! #horrorlit 📚😱

A real live pulp, and I'm in there! Check out Borealista and the rest of the rad stories in Epic Echoes Vol 4 #pulpfiction www.epicechoesmag.com/magazine

Happy to have gotten 2 rejections on 2 different stories in the past 24 hours because both came with individual feedback. A free MFA in lieu of an acceptance is a fair trade.

Turn 2: Shirley Jackson Ursula K LeGuin Mary Shelley Margaret Atwood PD James (Hope it's alright if I play again.)

Isaac Asimov Phillip K. Dick Stephen King Charles Bukowski Kurt Vonnegut

"Borealista," a tale of daring and hope in the borderlands, is officially out in the world! Read it free online at epicechoesmag.com/magazine, also available in print. #pulpfiction #borealista #hopepunk #epicechoes #dystopian

Reason #35,714 not to get too down on your skills as a writer after a rejection: I reject publication-worthy stories almost every single day. Seriously, I wish there were more mags (or that I had unlimited cash to buy more stories) because there's so many great stories out there.

Submission accepted! My new short fiction piece, a twisty-ish dystopian adventure with a glimmer of hope, will run this summer in a classic pulp anthology. Details to follow! #pulpfiction #girlsprotectinggirls #adventurefiction #dystopian

Officially kicked off my fiction experiment with a first short story submission last week. Thanks in advance to anyone, slush readers or otherwise, who ever reads one of my pieces to the end. One of these is more special than any 50 of my nonfiction/news pieces
