Issue 7: Integrity — another #photography / #fiction pairing for you: “Solomon and Vera” by Adam Jon Miller, with “About Alice” by @uteorgassa.bsky.social “All I see is a freight train of disaster speeding at her in the dark, horns a-blaring and search light cutting ahead. He is bad news.”

I love publishing new #cosmic #horror in @fraidycatpress.bsky.social. But I’d love to pay authors better, and I can’t do it alone. Consider subscribing. It’s the best way to help bring more great cosmic #horrorlit to the world (and read great stuff too!) fraidycatpress.com/product/fcq2...

During last night's walk I practiced observing my thoughts but was too distracted Do you have a favorite way to ground yourself through stressful times?

Hey, what's up with books having sprayed edges these days? LET ME TELL YOU THE STORY! I was there! Thread: 1/13

My story Night Island is out now in Pulp Lit Mag (pg 191) This is a really great read for anyone needing a lusty, witch story For anyone wishing they could burn it all down issuu.com/pulplitmag/d...

Seriously, creative folks: Don't be afraid to let people know your stuff is out there for them, or worry that "now is not the time for that." People are stressed and freaked out and looking for the things that will give them a moment of rest and joy. It is EXACTLY the time for what we do. Tell them.

"I have such a great idea for a novel, how do I--" Sit down and write it. If you can't produce finished work, your ideas aren't worth the neurons you had them with. Do it, do it, sit down and do it, or it doesn't get done.

My dual custody creative schedule is working out pretty nice. I edited a flash-ish story this weekend and sent it for critique and also managed one new and very terrible poem M-F I revert back to the novel :)

Started Horror in the High Desert on a whim then had to binge the entire trilogy as fast as possible, and get my spouse hooked along the way

Getting started on something new!!

Using this awesome artwork to inspire our weekend. I'm headed to the library for some celebreations

Most of the people reading this have a sense of how bad things are right now. So for encouragement, here's a thread with examples of folks fighting back.

Getting some personal projects wrapped up! #amwriting

This looks like a great read

Another short story almost ready 👻🥢

Resharing my favorite thing I wrote last year

No big deal we are $800 away from our goal of $11,500.

They did such a great job on vol 1, can't wait to see what they'll do for the next issue Back them if you can

Writers with major awards & bestseller listings are in such a good position to promote kindness, fair practices, and share their resources and access with newbies. Frankly there's a lot you could do that would change lives and take less time than an online argument! So why don't we talk about that?

Mister Rogers never misses

Using a Google Form, I'll soon open submissions for Stanchion's Online Weekly Features. Each month, I'll accept 40 subs, select 4 to publish & pay each writer $5. You'll have lots of heads-up before these tiny windows open & I'll stagger them monthly for time zone considerations.

Post the cover of the first book you are reading in 2025. This is my first logged book of the year. Heartbreaking, but also so much resiliency. I plan to do a lot more photo books in 2025

Starting the year off with submissions
