I do love running the write-ins. Such an easy way to give people community. We write for 2.5 hours, talk for one. Best part of my week.

Love our annual list of the year’s best book covers? Then you’ll go wild over the best book covers of the decade. lithub.com/the-best-boo...

I cannot express how much I am loving this book. Thank you, Maria Reva, for your creative mind. #bestnovels #MariaReva

The tranquil Christmas tree. I’m lucky to live in a place where this kind of beauty exists.

Cosmic Goblins is back with a brand new episode! This time we're featuring Pink Baby by Erin Macnair, the surreal story of two beetlemen with big dreams, a tale of friendship, hope, and regret. Check it out here:https://bit.ly/489XCyY @emacnair.bsky.social

www.nvrc.ca/notices-even... I do love hosting the write-in. Discussion at the end is the best part!

Writing is often about discovering the path as you walk it. ✨

I love this and also: this hypothetical questioner needs to ask themself, truly, why they want to write in the first place. Because asking the question in and of itself suggests that this is a person who doesn't want to try to get better. And if that's true, why bother? No one's MAKING you write.

Go ahead and donate a coffee to Brecht for all his hard work. This ranking guide has been so helpful!

Who else goes to Rejection Wiki every time they get a no on their submission?!😂

A huge thank you to the Federation of BC Writers. And to Barbara Black- who chose my flash piece as runner up in the 2024 contest. I’m so grateful!

Bedside tables overflowing. At least I’ll never be bored!

I forgot how effed this story is. I mean, I love it, but wow. The ending? Spoiler alert- Something for us to ponder.

More random signs like this one, please.

Incredibly happy to announce that my story Sand Penis” will be in Best Canadian Stories 2026! Thank you Biblioasis, for putting out these amazing short story collections. #biblioasis#shortstories#canadianfiction

My mom found this pic of me and my friend Pam by her pool- about ten years ago. It made me realize how much I miss her. And also where did this t shirt go?

Ok- round of applause everyone. For the guy that’s helped you many times. 🥳🏅🙌Killing it, Brecht!

I didn’t get to one of my favorite hikes for two weeks and when I got back the forest was dotted with trillium. Named for its threes: petals, sepals, leaves. The petals turn pink when pollinated to let pollinators know not to waste precious energy. #flowers #nature #bloomscrolling 🌿

My new notebook. May the magical disembodied head of David Byrne help the words flow. #davidbyrne#magicnotebook#writers#shortstories

I want to hit rewind and go back to San Miguel.

A few photos from our one year anniversary story salon- dress up edition. I took the dressing up very seriously.

The CBC is crucial. Sign the petition:

I may inundate my feed with pictures from the San Miguel Writers Conference. It was transcendent - I’ve come away from it a new writer. #sanmiguel #sanmiguelwritersconferemce #shortstorywriters

@bradfordmorrow.bsky.social I’ve got a date with a great book this weekend.

The most common question I receive is how everyday citizens can help in the fight for democracy. My advice, take the first step, start with something small and see what works for you. Here are ten things all of us can do. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/10-t...

I needed some simple joy. So I ordered a few “choose your own adventure” books. I want to fall off a cliff, be eaten by sharks, join the Ant People. At least I have a choice in the matter.

Thanks for posting @lynnhutchinsonlee.bsky.social ! I love this collection and am honoured to be included! #writing#shortstories#clifi

There seems to be an influx of bots following me. Any actual writers out there in the sky? I’d like to see what you’re up to.

73 rejections this year. Just part of it- my skin is getting thicker- it’s been a great year for me- and it’s probably because I keep sending stuff out! #writing

An early Xmas gift from the San Miguel Writers’ Conference —my piece “A Murmuration” won the non-fiction prize. 🥳🥰 #writing #writers

An absolute thrill to be published in Conjunctions alongside some of my favourite writers! Here’s a link to the story. #shortstories#HorrorLit#SpecFic#WritingCommunity#JoyceCarolOates

Love these ghost stories from the contributors. ❤️

Great job Andrea!

What else are you going to do? Fall back on your original plan of being a marine biologist? Of course not, you would have wiped out entire ecosystems. You can barely even get yourself to drink water regularly! You're a creative writer.
