My pandemic scrapbook is free on Amazon for a few days. It reads best on a tablet or phone. Give it a go? Could be fun for your commute to work today? Note: because this chapbook is so image-heavy, it looks best on phones and tablets US Store: a.co/d/fGhYfDC Australia Store: amzn.asia/d/4bXnmEs

Holy Toledo, I put a digital #zine of images and #poetry about my pandemic experience in #sanfrancisco on Amazon kindle just for kicks and not only did someone read it but they gave me a legit 4 star review, I am so pleased someone out there read it! www.amazon.com/San-Francisc...

Apparently I am Steph AF, it has a nice ring…

Pretty lights

Feeling quite proud to have qualified for Associate Membership to SFWA after five years of writing. I don’t know how far I will get in my lifetime but I feel like I have passed a threshold and it’s really meaningful to me to belong to a professional organization like this.

I enjoyed this poem, not only because of the Star Trek TOS references but that was part of it www.poetryfoundation.org/poetrymagazi...

If you live in Sydney, and you are a writer, don’t miss the Willoughby literary festival: libraries.willoughby.nsw.gov.au/Events-and-p... #sydney #australiawriters

Here’s a squeaky duck, just in case you needed a lift… (sound is loud, fair warning)

Here’s a random video of rain in Tokyo at night…

Hey Sydney writers, did you know there’s a specfic open mic happening tomorrow? RSVP here: events.humanitix.com/sydney-specu...

"go indie" is the new "pull yourself up by your bootstraps"

Yay!

Creativity is labor. Full stop.

Remember me? I'm the person that managed to get a story published with Banksia Journal with a protagonist who happens to be diabetic. Guess what! I've got another t1d story out in the wild! Read it for free here: thecrosstimbers.online/current-issu... #t1d #diabetes #t1dlookslikeme

Disabled people aren’t “choosing” to be sick. They can’t “try harder” to be well. It’s not about how hard we fight or whether we want it bad enough. Disability is not a moral failing. Many of us were just like you, until we weren’t. Its one of the only minority groups you can join at any time

Adelaide is nice!

Submissions Grinder is an essential tool for short story subs. So handy, and the more people who use it, the more everyone benefits from the data.

On 26 July Chatswood Library will be hosting a full day of spec fic craft sessions as part of the Willoughby Literary Festival. If you are writing in this space and live in Sydney, we want to see you there! libraries.willoughby.nsw.gov.au/Events-and-p...

Dr. Norman Swan is live on the free Curiosity Stage (bay 24) at the Sydney Writers’ Festival right now. He’s quite a funny guy. Come on down, don’t mind the rain! #sydneywritersfestival

Everything We Lost in the Apocalypse by Mar Vincent @marofthebooks.bsky.social "This story is about fridge drawings and photo albums and vinyl records and video game consoles and sewing machines and reading nooks and koi ponds and..." Read the story at the link to the latest issue in our bio!

Next time I attend the Wayward Wormhole, my carry-on bag will be so much lighter. The large pile at the back is the amount of glucose monitoring consumables that I brought last year. The teeny pile in the front is the equivalent in the newly released G7 sensor. More books! #dexcom

My latest story is live at www.banksiajournal.com !

Look at me all hosting a gong fu tea session at Chaistea in Sydney #gongfutea #tea #gongfucha #drinkteamakefriends

Got my first issue of Star*Line in the mail today… so excited to crack into it…

The Wayward Wormhole was the best writing decision I ever made, and it’s coming to Barbados next. There’s scholarships too! www.catrambo.com/wormhole/the...

Welcome to #Australia

If I got to comply with something to make art, fuck off

My short story "The Ace of Rules" which may or may not (ahem) be based on real life experiences is free to read on @thecoloredlens.bsky.social at thecoloredlens.com . (If you want to know more about what really happened... well too bad... :-P

So mad at Severance right now for wasting my time with the latest two episodes. Not even sure I will continue…

Hey there Bluesky, if I have my math right I am less than five USD away from associate membership in @sfwa.bsky.social have you got any recommendations for #litmags that are currently open, friendly to spec fic and emerging writers? This is a long term goal of mine and I am sooooo close!

Hey folks, Novel Slices never had a Bluesky account but with so many people no longer on the other socials I should probably mention here that after an amazing several years, we’re not continuing with Novel Slices. Past issues are still available at www.novelslices.com/issues

I know the person doing this and it should be cool. Give @whimsyandmetaphor.bsky.social a follow or just click on the YouTube link tomorrow!

You can't afford a convertible in your midlife crisis. Start a lit mag! They cost about as much as a used car and break down just as often!

My story, Instructions are Explicit, is free from the paywall today. Click on for a little jog through imperial space. Our story begins in the Dominion Ward, where Bound no. 347 grapples with challenges inherent to the postpartum period. magazine.trollbreath.com/the-instruct...

I love the smell of open books and untold adventures in the morning. 📖✨ #BookSky

Can we make libraries and bookstores the place to be again? Even if to read digitally. They should be up there with getting groceries, exercising, house cleaning, and gym. Schedule self-exploration time at your local library and bookstores. #booksky #librariesfirst #reading #selfdiscovery

Penultimate sunrise at the Wayward Wormhole…

Positive Pickle is exhausted! We are in the final days of the Wayward Wormhole and Pickle is looking forward to a day alone as we all road trip to Tombstone AZ for the day…

Look out! A lone positive pickle has broken free from the herd and claimed the chocolate! #waywardwormhole
