“If you are sad or depressed, obey. A sulky beauty or a gloomy genius should obey. This means you should obey. The quicker the better. With snap and accuracy.” — The Good Soldier @kathyfish.bsky.social | @bulbregion.bsky.social bulbregion.com/Two-Stories-...

“The tornado is sexy, sultry, a slut. She sucks up everything in her path. Since she was born, since she touched down seven minutes ago, in a midwestern prairie, she has known her purpose: to consume.” Skyler Melnick | @fracturedlit.bsky.social fracturedlit.com/she-sucks/?f...

“João wanted to sleep with the camel because he’s four and misses you. He climbed onto the camel’s hump and wrapped himself around it, just like when he was a newborn and would sleep skin-to-skin on your chest…” @kellypedro.bsky.social | @necessaryfiction.com necessaryfiction.com/stories/a-ca...

“These couples exist in group chats and email threads with an extended universe of metamours. Their Google calendars burn rainbow bright with dates, weekend trips, birthdays, anniversaries all blocked out…” @livesinpages.bsky.social | Grist gristjournal.com/2026/03/make...

“I wonder sometimes where the egg came from, if in the grief and confusion of being widowed I tore the egg from myself, infusing it with a great and terrible magic that has lain dormant all these years.” @ruthjoffre.bsky.social | @flashfrog.bsky.social flash-frog.com/2026/03/16/l...

“…and here is a bone from Tommy Jessup’s hand, the little pinky bone, after he came to the river and never left, and here is your mother’s wedding ring from that night she called your father a bastard…” Cathy Ulrich | @flashfrog.bsky.social flash-frog.com/2026/03/09/r...

I can’t believe over the years I’ve made so met so many wonderful, creative, lovely writers that I didn’t have a chance to see them all in person at #AWP2026! If I missed seeing, know I was there in spirit! For those I did see, thank you for all the laughs and fun!

The events are SWARMING all over social media for #AWP26 so imma just post my “Where to Find Me at #AWP” in the hopes that I’ll see you there! @ettereview.bsky.social @mooncitypress.bsky.social

Soooo the draft binder is not exactly…bindering the drafts anymore… Writer friends who write by hand…what do you do with/ how do you store all your hand written drafts?!?!

"Did you hear about the Black man? The Black woman? Black boy? The Black girl gone missing?" Wow, this is incredibly powerful writing from @avitusbcarle.bsky.social. If you haven't read it, please read it. Such an important piece.

Sadly, this is timeless. New work by @avitusbcarle.bsky.social in Ghost Parachute. ghostparachute.com/issue/februa...

Read this. Just read it.

@avitusbcarle.bsky.social in the new Ghost Parachute! ghostparachute.com/issue/februa...

“Another body, another girl, another name to say.” New brilliance from @avitusbcarle.bsky.social. Read it right now.

Did you hear about the Black man? The Black woman? Black boys? With a rope? From a tree? Bodies becoming ornaments. Dismissed then silenced then overlooked then added to the number of Black bodies who never came home. A powerful piece by @avitusbcarle.bsky.social

Read "Breaking News" written by @avitusbcarle.bsky.social and illustrated by Brett J Barr. "Did you hear about the Black man? The Black woman? Black boy? The Black girl gone missing? Kidnapped. From thoughts and prayers. From the news." tinyurl.com/yswvau9e

"they didn’t even try to understand." All this truth. Listen.

"Timeless."

Did you hear? A powerful must-read story.

"Did you hear about the Black man? The Black woman asleep in her home?" @avitusbcarle.bsky.social in Ghost Parachute. READ this NOW

I rarely write micros but somehow this one found its way into the welcoming arms of the latest issue of Ghost Parachute AND will be included in the upcoming Ghost Parachute Anthology (available at #AWP26 in Baltimore)! ghostparachute.com/issue/februa...

So excited to see this flash being so well received AND to be nominated for Best Small Fictions!? For those who don’t know, this story was inspired by another story my Dad told me about a guy he used to play basketball with who just stopped showing up one day 💔

Another excellent workshop with the one and only @kathyfish.bsky.social! I’ve been in a writing rut lately and this workshop was perfect to pull me out of my head and just write. Perfect way to spend a snowy afternoon ☕️
