A rare fantasy story of mine is now live at 100-Foot Crow!

If you're a press or magazine open to submissions next month, comment below for me to add you to @breakthroughlitlab.bsky.social submission calls list!

I'm starting to see AI images being used more in youtube videos and I can't help but wonder what the youtubers (or even their video editors) believe that these images bring to the video? Comedic value because of how uncanny the images look? Or is it just laziness and filler?

I've got so much mundane problems in my personal life meanwhile, the world at large is collapsing around me

It's cartoonist day, it's AAPI Heritage Month, it's still life under fascism, here's comics

the latest episode of the Rehearsal broke my brain

Coming this September! “Human Scars on Planet Skin” by Effie Joe Stock and @nathanielluscombe.bsky.social Big thanks to Dragon Bone Publishing for this #ARC !

I'll admit it: my vampire novella feels so personal and strange I'm afraid to finish it, because I'm afraid of the inevitable rejections. I know not everyone will get it, but my hopes is that the right readers will one day find it and feel seen

I honestly thought I was going to finish this month without finishing a single book. It only takes one good book to get out of a reading slump and for me it was Renan Bernardo's latest book that jumpstarted my interest in reading again! That said, I did most of my reading in the last week of April.

Wow just discovered the perfect ending for this short story! this is the least planned story I've written in awhile and it's come together so well and surprised me many times!

This comes out TOMORROW and if it's not already on your TBR do yourself a favor and add it!

My favorite comments to get on fanfic is "I now ship this after reading this fic." My second favorite comments: "this matches the style and tone of the original very well."

I was so delighted to read an #ARC of one of my most anticipated books of the year and let me tell you: It did not disappoint!Do you like space? Do you like horror? Do you like SPACE HORROR? Get yourself this book!

Every time I return home I do a magical girl transformation into comfy clothes

trying to embrace the fact that anyone who reads my work will learn that I am a little bit of a weirdo

Wow I had a personal breakthrough today with something I've been struggling with for four years and it feels amazing!

remembering I own a printer and how powerful this now makes me

I am doomed by the narrative

wow over a week in to this new month and I haven't finished reading a single book

I made this a list challenge for anyone interested lol www.listchallenges.com/the-book-wor...

This march I did something I told myself I'd never do and reread "City of Ember" a book that meant so much to me as a kid I was afraid it wouldn't hold up as an adult. Fortunately it did and I finally read the sequel!

day jobs aren't fun but listening to Weird Al at work adds a little bit of whimsy to the day

Woo! Excited to be doing this type-athon this month with my writer's group!

Also, fun fact, this is my first ever reprint! I've officially been writing and submitting long enough to have sold my first reprint!

I absolutely love how @talltaletv.bsky.social brought my story to life with this dramatic reading of "Who Answers My Call?" A big thanks to Chris Herron!

Just signed the contract today! Keep an eye out for this friday 👀

I put way too many exclamation marks in professional emails but I am simply being excited and friendly!

Best writing advice I've ever gotten: be brave

Aww thank you so much~! This is the first time someone has reached out to comment on a story of mine and I really appreciate it!

books are empathy machines

This was such a good story! I'm amazed with the world building fit into such a tiny package and the ending was just *chef's kiss*

Woke up to a short story acceptance today!

Must resist buying the next book in the series I am reading and instead read something from my massive physical TBR. This is why I can't read series! I either read it all in one go or read the first book and never continue

I'm so productive today I don't even recognize myself lol!

halfway through my first round of edits on my vampire novella. I had to take a long break from editing to clear my head but now I'm slowly getting progress again

Came up with a story idea while laying in bed last night. Didn't write it down and now it's lost forever lol

Very excited to say that I have a standalone novelette coming out from @gravesidepress.bsky.social this year as part of their Tiny Terrors collection!

Wow this was the best reading month I've had in a long time! I can't believe I read 11 books! Two of which were contributor copies of anthologies I was in that came out last month (see Dangerous to Go Alone! 2 and Chronos 2). (Tiles, authors and notes in comments)

I'm hoping to finish reading one more book before the month ends

I'm making a list of speculative poets and resources for speculative poetry, if you'd like to be added, let me know :) bsky.app/profile/holl...

I think I've forgotten how to write

my writer's group officially has a mascot and I would die for Typey

I got zines on the brain

Fictional villains: my motivation involves a complex backstory around lost love and a deep yearning to be understood Real life villains: being cruel makes me feel like a big strong man

Dating while being an unwitting time traveler makes things confusing to say the least. Check out my drabble "Relationship Status: It's Complicated" in this collection of time themed drabbles, now available!! Thanks to @shackleboundbooks.bsky.social for putting this together!

I just called my senators. You should too. This is something they can actively stop.

I keep coming up with new book ideas while procrastinating on editing my novella

btw I did sign a contract the other day for one of my biggest releases yet :3 but that's all I'm saying for now
