Gonna need a big Philly welcome for our Seattleite poet

Do archers give the fletching a little goodbye kiss like the wives of sailors off to war?

“It’s Raining Men” and “Raining Blood” existing in the same musical universe

I found one of the first poems I’ve ever published on a lit mag I thought was long gone and wow it’s so strange lol

I enjoy seeing people coming out of the woodworks to read RAGE.

No one: Me, on a Tuesday evening: *Blacksmith jobs near me*

First Afterimages contribution of 2026 belongs to Niles Reddick and a crafted, poignant memoir titled, LESS THAN. Live in your inbox if you’re a subscriber, or read it in our stories/bio. open.substack.com/pub/thirtywe...

Annual “off-kilter stats” have dropped. -12 road events in 3 different U.S. States -Nearly 600 chapbook subs! -All 2025 authors were globally northern. -All 2025 books = about 82% of Moby Dick. Let’s get some wild stats for 2026, alright?

I stare up at the ceiling and sigh. “They they go again, practicing jujitsu or some shit”

My website is updated and ready to roll in 2026. I thank you, readers, of my lit mag publications, BD/WD subscribers, and anyone who purchased my new chapbook, RAGE, and other books of mine. Happy New Year! joshdale.co

2025 is long gone now... Our 10th year has concluded. The new era has just begun. See you on the other side!

We’re in hell

Updating my author website and checking links and you know you’ve been around awhile when the Gleep Glorp Review becomes an Indonesia gambling site

If Microsoft ever goes out of business, every PC in the world should-auto-update to the classic 'green hill' background with a little tombstone sticking out of it

Thinking of making a collage for 10 years in indie publishing. Some pics are bringing me mixed feelings i.e. people that are no longer are in my life (for better or worse). Would they want to be in said collage? For all I know, that momentous photo for me was just another Wednesday night for them.

Very much nervous, excited, and hellbent to publish a lot of chapbooks in 2026. I shall carve this mountain of submissions into a handful of gemstones.

I love lord of the rings but $200 for a pizza wheel is insane

Should look into a 10 year anthology and collage to stake our flag in indie lit

Whew what a cool essay I’m developing. Drops in a month

Love paying for both Acrobat and Office and yet they glitch, change UI without ability to revert, and even crash on occasion.

MY BOOKS READ IN 2025 A lot of indie gems from this year, some Big 5 publishers, legacy authors, and a handful of books that received some 'bonus awards'. Read my mini reviews and see the winners on BD/WD. I hope that you read some in 2026. backroadsdrivingwindowsdown.substack.com/p/booksreadi...

Scenario: you get a book by an author you really like, but the typesetting is HORRIBLE. Wdyd?

Ross can RAGE, can you?

I'd be honored tbh. A lot of my characters are idiots, ignoramuses even

Terrible week at work so why not revert to childhood nostalgia? Thank you @alexandranaughton.bsky.social and Be About It Press for publishing 3 micro-vignettes. Field day, birds in trees, magicians causing PTSD triggers. Let’s run it up. open.substack.com/pub/beabouti...
