Got super close on this one~ and even though it didn’t make it to publication, I ended up with a much stronger revision. 🙂‍↔️

Don’t be afraid to share your writing. There are six Sharknado movies.

So happy to have this story in @flashfrog.bsky.social 🥳

I’m struggling to write anything good lately. It all feels so forced, which makes me totally uninterested in what I’m putting down.

Forthcoming in HerStry 🥳

I've come to the horrible conclusion that the only reason ICE looks like this (under an administration that LOVES a uniform!) is that in the not-distant future, they want civilian vigilantes taking it upon themselves to do more violent versions of this same work. And they'll be indistinguishable.

My story "Between Chamisa and Rengyō" is out! Thank you to the @smokelong.bsky.social judges for selecting it as the winner of The Smokey award. I am so moved by the recognition 🙏🏻 I hope you enjoy this story: www.smokelong.com/stories/betw...

A quarter of the way through the 100 rejection challenge.

It's just words and you're just meat and nothing actually matters. Now go write your book.

Forthcoming 📸🐸 (I audibly gasped)!

Rejection: 22/100

Decision letters are going out! We had to make some hard decisions for this issue, especially since we had more submission than expected (we 🫶🏻 you all for that)! We’re so excited for this issue and can’t wait for you all to check it out June 20th!

Back off me man. I will never retire. I reached my adult height in 5th grade and still have to climb counters to reach cups. I tell strangers everything about myself and call it art. I am a Literary Writer.

Wow 👅

Congratulations also to the runners-up! "Side by Side at Salty's Double Nubble 10K Race" by Priscilla Bourgoine "Hanamizuki" by Mizuki Yamagen "Violet, Roe" by Lena Kinder The internal competitions of The March Micro Marathon this year were FIRE.

My short story “Yellow” won the fiction prize in Product’s 39th issue. I wrote this story during my first semester as an MA student, and as I’m about to graduate, I’m glad it found a home here. www.usmproductmag.com/39-lena-kind...

Writing is fine. It's literally the most embarrassing thing on earth to put yourself on full display for rejection or validation, but it's fine. I enjoy it. I find it therapeutic to set myself on fire.

I feel so thankful that I was chosen as a runner-up for the 400-word story contest in @smokelong.bsky.social’s March Micro Madness 2025. Congrats to the winners in all of the categories! 🎉
