On June 23rd, I've got 5 sci-fi drabbles dropping in the drabble anthology Darker Stars! Available for pre-order digitally today on Amazon, I'll let you know when the print edition is due! amzn.to/42ZsJe8 #WritingCommunity #AmWriting

@stephellis.bsky.social the characters I made for the DeadCades anthology oh so long ago are going to be showing up in 2 more anthologies in the next year 😅

Another novella rejection... One of these years, it'll find a home! #Amwriting

Sweet, I didn't have to format the entire novella I had mentioned in my last post... just the intro. Huzzah! *clicks send and crawls under desk to rock back and forth* #AmWriting #WritingCommunity

Whew, just submitted one of the three WIP short stories I'm working on. Next up? Finishing re-formatting a novella that I've already finished for an open call that is running through the end of the month. GAH! This month has gone by too fast. #amwriting

OH! Since I no longer live post 24/7 like I used to do... What a HEAVY season finale for #ThePitt season 2 last night. Can't wait for the third one. They've really knocked the casting out of the park. Everyone on this show is a phenomenal actor.

This summer Peter Parker and Frank Castle take a walk down memory pain in #PUNISHER VS. #SPIDERMAN, an all-new five issue limited series detailing some of the duo’s earliest encounters in the #Marvel Universe. Just in time for the new movie!

Made the mistake of starting and binging the first season of #TheImperfects ... before seeing it was canceled after a season and had that ending... dammit! 😅

After work, I finished a few last-minute edits for the short I finished and just sent it in! Also finished the rough draft for another short that I'd been working on. Tomorrow, scheduling ahead for Horror Tree and taking a look at a couple of novella WIPs that I have! #amwriting

As I was editing my latest short story for submission today, I rediscovered my love of #VSQ and how well I write and edit to #VitaminStringQuartet. #amwriting

Just finished a short for an open call I'd like to send in. Tomorrow = edits. Monday = final pass-through and submit! We'll see!

I hope everyone is having a great Monday! It was leg day at the gym, so I'm glad I work most Mondays remotely because if I had to walk to the train and my office today... I might have fallen over! 😅😂😭

Just finished up sending in a short story for one of the open calls I've been eyeing. One open call down, eight potentially to go! #amwriting #writingcommunity

I just realized that I haven't read all of The Vampire Chronicles... Part of me wants to finish them, part of me wants to restart the series, part of me remembers I have like 50 unread books right now... 😅

Feels like the #Dune3 trailer and release seem oddly perfectly timed. Loved the trailer, loved the book, and the lessons its trying to teach still haven't been learned.

5 anthologies hit my inbox this morning that I'd like to submit stories... I don't time for all 5, however, 2 accept reprints that I have stories that might fit and one is drabbles so I can maybe submit to... 4 of the 5... 😅 #amwriting

Had a contract come in this morning for some of my drabble that were accepted into an anthology! #amwriting

Omg #Firefly is coming back as an animated series with the original cast voice acting and I couldn't be more excited!! (Takes place between the original series and Serenity) comicbook.com/tv-shows/new...

Just got edits back on a scifi short that was previously accepted. Excited for this one to see print! #amwriting

Kids are at the grandparents and my wife and I had some free time this morning after the gym. The new Young Sherlock series is pretty entertaining (at least the first 3 episodes! ) Highly recommend if it continues to be this fun. #YoungSherlock

Signed a contract for a short story sale and sent in one to another anthology, whew! #amwriting

I've been watching the fantasy anime #frieren and am finally almost caught up with season 1. I absolutely love the concept & suspect it'll be the first set of manga I purchase in years since I want to know more of the story. Its a great mix of light hearted adventure with a very unique & deep theme

I've got 4 shorts I'm working on that all have deadlines by the end of the month and I may have hit a wall... between work, the kids stuff, house issues, HT, a rough week at the gym, the cold weather... is the holiday season over yet?

My latest horror-western has been released! Smoke Signal Hill was released today in the anthology Twisted Trails: Tales of the Weird Wild West from Shacklebound Books. Super excited to see another of these in print! www.stuartconover.com/2025/11/10/m... #AmWriting #WritingCommunity

Finishing edits on the short I finished a few days ago, hoping to send it out into submission land tonight. #AmWriting

Finished writing a short last night, now to put it away for a week before edits... #amwriting

The last panel in #OneWorldUnderDoom issue 8. Wow. Especially with how he created a fixed point in time, RIGHT before it happened. Wow. #Marvel

I need to cut 800 words from a short story by Monday to submit before a deadline. Oh, I hope I have time to edit tomorrow because if not, it'll never get done, and I REALLY want to send this one in! #WritingCommunity

I don't want to tease anything... bbuutt I will. (Sorry!) I just want to say that @angelaslatter.bsky.social 's upcoming guest post for @horrortree.com is going to be a fantastic read for you all. #WritingCommunity

Holy #NewAvengers 4 by @samhumphries.bsky.social ... I'm dying... May you all find the doodad in your life 😆 So dumb yet so great! (I'd share the panel, but I never really know what the legality is around that. If someone out there is less worried, feel free to share in a response!) #Marvel

Kids were down early, so I had some #writing time today. Got a LOT of words down. Whew. My brain is now exhausted.

✅️ 45-minute workout ✅️ 1 hour of playing with the kids ✅️ 1 hour of writing ✅️ Half hour of cleaning ✅️ Laundry started Now to haircuts, donation dropoff, quick grocery run, and hopefully some downtime for the afternoon

#IronMan3 last night... Still my second favorite #IronMan movie... Still feel that Extremis was vastly underutilized in the MCU. Loved what they did with Stark here, didn't love the villain lineup. The #MCU rewatch for my youngest SLOWLY continues!

My cousin is launching a very cool game next month. If you're into good times with friends, check it out! prelaunch.playsubversia.com

One of my stories, which I really enjoyed writing, is on the short list for an upcoming anthology. Fingers, toes, and tails crossed! #WritingCommunity #AmWriting

Watching #TheAvengers for like the 50th time. First time with my youngest. He's loving it. This franchise is just sooo good. #Marvel

Contract signed for one of my recently teased sold short stories... Can't wait to share the details! #AmWriting #WritingCommunity

Another one of my sci-fi shorts was recently accepted! More details when I can share... What a great way to start the week!

Squee! One of my shorts was recently accepted for publication! More details when the official announcement is made. REALLY enjoyed writing this one, and it takes place in the same universe as my other recent sci-fi shorts! #amwriting #writingcommunity

Oof. This didn't take long to move to the rejection pile. Ahhh well.

Just had a short story longlisted, OH, I really hope this one is able to move forward! #WritingCommunity #AmWriting

Thank you, #Marvel, for finally giving us the #FantasticFour that we needed. Wow. It was just so good.

That short story rejection from the other day? Sadly (and expectedly), there was no feedback. (None expected! We know how the anthology game works...) Gave it a re-read, made a couple of minor tweaks, and it's already back out into submission land. #AmWriting

It's never really a good time of day for a short story rejection 😅

‘Dead Man’s Land: Trench Rot’ was released on July 20th, 2025, and contains my short story “The Choir of Bones,” which is a return to my writing about the undead. Available on Lulu(?!) - www.lulu.com/shop/parth-s... #AmWriting #WritingCommunity

I have three shorts and a novella that are 'done' and all have deadlines of the 30th or 1st. However, they need some serious editing. Maybe I can skip sleeping this week? #WritingCommunity

Just saw an anthology I wouldn't usually submit to due to the pay on it... However, I had JUST finished a story that I missed the deadline on, which feels exactly what they're looking for. *submits for the hell of it* #WritingCommunity

Oof, short story rejection before bed. Ah well, at least I kind of expected this one. #writingcommunity

I might be helping in the judging and juroring of something this year...

Had a pretty chill #fathersday, kiddos each made me a card (well, one card and one paper monster.) Tomorrow... Back to the grind!
