I'm just one person trying to compete in a busy algorithm but still hoping to remind you that 1000 Words of Summer starts this coming Saturday, May 30. Our ninth year of writing 1000 Words a day alongside thousands of other people for two weeks straight. 1000wordsofsummer.substack.com/about

Public health awareness campaigns should be as rad as the people they're aiming to serve. And all the folks I know in Uganda are fricken awesome. #ebola #publichealth

I've finally made my last student loan payment for my MFA program! Next up? All my kids' student loans.😬😂

Dark confession: today I organized a junk drawer and my fire safe of family docs instead of writing. The guilt is real.

So #DerryGirls isn’t an earnest period piece?! So “Rock the Boat” is a classic Irish wedding dance?! How did I miss all this for so damn long? 😂 youtu.be/NcXmTcsr6LA

Last month was crazy stressful. I was determined May would be different. What a great start! Thank you #HWA!

She is very lonely

I finally caved. My laptop is currently out for repairs. I wore out the e on the keyboard (it works except when it doesn’t) The worst part? Entering a password and having to count the number of characters to determine if the e had actually been entered. 😂

this is one of the best gifs of all time

Picking up a novelette in progress with historic elements, I remember mapping out the drinking water sources in the nineteenth-century town. Buttt I can't find the info or let it go—logic be damned. I guess I'll be repeating the research cause there’s truly no talking myself out if it 😂

Just bought my ticket to SF for the Locus Awards!🎉

I'm absolutely thrilled to see Storyteller: A Tanith Lee Tribute Anthology make the finalist list for the Locus Awards! An enormous congratulations to all my fellow finalists. It’s amazing to be in such great company! locusmag.com/2026/04/2026... @carinabissett.bsky.social @ethereallad.bsky.social

So excited to see Storyteller, the Tanith Lee anthology put out last year by @thisjulieday.bsky.social named as a #locusaward Finalist! Amazing!

Spoke to the Guardian about the idea of quitting LLMs for climate: -“I see this all as very much part of the tactic of trying to embed these systems into society and instil dependency in a fashion similar to the growth of single-use plastics in the 1970s.” www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

My Bram Stoker Award finalist page just went up. All of a sudden, this feels way more real. bramstokerawards.horror.org/anthology/da...

Plans with good friends fell through for tomorrow night, which means I get to watch SNL and Connor Storrie. Emotional conflict resolved!

Regret to announce that we’ve reached Wrong Coat season. Every coat you wear from now til mid April will be The Wrong Coat for the weather

So totally this. The loss isn’t just how it impacts me. It’s that the individual is no longer living their life. There is some basic “ick factor” about assuming we can recreate a person’s persona with all of its contradictions AND pretending their lack of existence isn’t the central point.

Hurray! I had such a blast writing a story for this! What a complete circuit of loving and being influenced by Tanith Lee’s works in my teens and 20s, and then getting to write a story in her honor in my 40s!

One of the things They don't tell you is that a lot of being creative involves wondering whether or not you're screaming into the void. And a lot more of it is realising that as long as you're screaming, that's the point. And a lot of the rest of it is working out if you're singing or screaming

A decade ago, I started trying to track down a novel I read when I was twelve that has never entirely left me. Today, I finally rediscovered the author and title! The 1980 Orson Scott Card novel A Planet Called Treason. It had a trans protagonist, parthenogenesis, & a surreal delirium section.

I’m experimenting with the air fried. Clearly, it’s a snow day! (I honestly barely ever cook.)

My short story "Zugunruhe" is in Storyteller: A Tanith Lee Tribute Anthology! Thrilled to see the anthology on the final ballet for a Bram Stoker award!

Shocking. Amazing. Thrilling. And that’s just the Blizzard of 2026! I’m so damn happy and grateful to see Storyteller is a finalist for the Stokers! @carinabissett.bsky.social @ethereallad.bsky.social

always raises a red flag when people keep just asking questions that have in fact been studied and answered

I'm working on redrafting a second novella. Did I mention that? I think not. It's still flabergasting to realize how much material I have waiting for me to polish it. The last few years have been incredibly busy and for family/personal reasons particularly hard. It's lovely to find myself again.

If you're reading for the various awards, Storyteller is now available on the Recommended Reading List: www.sfwa.org/reading-list... @clhellisen.bsky.social @marthawells.com @csecooney.bsky.social @nisishawl.bsky.social @mythicdelirium.bsky.social @carinabissett.bsky.social

It's world #pangolin day! One time I crocheted a pangolin - that's like an extreme sport in the #crochet world. littleconkers.co.uk/crocheted-pa... #worldpangolinday

A few years ago, I suggested that society's repression of vs. the climate movement would escalate, even if *we* didn't escalate. And presto: "Environmental protest group Extinction Rebellion says FBI is investigating it for terrorism".

The robot apocalypse hasn't happened yet, but still I can't escape the feeling that something has gone horribly wrong... Cartoon for Dutch newspaper @trouw.nl. More of my work for Trouw: www.trouw.nl/cartoons/tje... #ArtificialIntelligence #creativity #work #GenerativeAI

And it's not just Waymo. "Tesla’s vehicles also rely on similar remote operators...New National Highway Traffic Safety Administration data suggest[s] Tesla’s robotaxis are crashing three times as much as humans — even with human monitors."

I love the vibe of this new audio market. I'm excited to see what they get up to.

Hi everyone, one of our whistle producers is down to a roll or two of filament. If you have the capacity, would you mind helping them out so they can keep printing whistles? Thank you all!

I've picked up another project, The Waterhorder and the Drought Lily, while my novella Meissen Eyes is out with a beta reader. Like Meissen Eyes it started as a short story that I couldn't get to work, and like Meissen Eyes, it looks to be unexpectedly creeping into novella territory. Wild.

Hey folks! Due to a series of unforeseen expenses, I need to raise some cash before royalty season rolls around at the beginning of April. Because of that, I am going to do something I don't usually do and offer paid mentoring sessions for aspiring writers.

Ah this is excellent news - so glad to see Tanith Lee's influence on fantastical fiction being so appreciated

What a way to start the month! Storyteller is on the 2025 Locus Magazine Recommended Reading list! For the last few weeks l've had to remain silent & I've learned I really hate withholding good news! (Thankfully I found out about the Stoker Award preliminary ballot at the same time as everyone else)

Check it out! For members of HWA, voting for the Stoker Preliminary Ballot will be open from February 1 to 15. Storyteller: A Tanith Lee Tribute anthology is in the Superior Achievement in an Anthology category! For HWA members, the anthology is available via the link in the latest HWA email.

Our 10-year-old journal of creative writing on environmental justice will reopen to submissions, including poetry, creative nonfiction, art, short stories AND novella-length fiction, on February 1st.

Just another reminder that meta is fucking evil

Today's good news is that @thisjulieday.bsky.social's Storyteller: A Tanith Lee Tribute is on the Stoker long list for Superior Achievement in an Anthology. I'm incredibly proud of having a short story (Makers) in this anthology packed with superstar writers.

this is a must-read anthology. there's not a single story i didn't enjoy, and it inspired me to go back and read lee's work that i hadn't read before (but in reading the paradys cycle i realized i had already read at least the first book 😅)
