Today I'm mad, and sad, and trying to process the fact that there are a lot of unknowns happening around me, but it's new years eve and so in a few hours I take a deep breath and embrace 2026.

The feminine urge to see if this next redbull will solve all my problems

Long time since I released a big beast into the wild but here is The Future Is Me, told from NHS waiting rooms during the peak of the AIDS epidemic. The siblings are my most Northumbrian characters though a Colombian walked in from nowhere and kidnapped the story. waccamawjournal.com/fiction/the-...

Acceptance on one of my favorite stories from this year was a really nice way to round out the day 🫶

Watch me melt down in real time as every plan I had for this weekend changes at the last minute

Today theres a lot of "what am i even doing here? what is this shit Ive written?" in the air and I think I've breathed in most of it.

Alright @notquitewrite.com , you have my final entry of the year. Now we wait and see if I end another year without hitting that longlist :p

I have written wrods today despite having no inclination to do so all weekend. I deserve a reward.

Hey I don't know who needs to hear this but please just shut the hell up if you are watching a movie in a theater with other people in it. Thank you :)

Hey all! It's been a crazy, busy week or so for me, publishing and story-wise. I think this is the last for a minute but its certainly not least. If you have a moment, I would love you to have a look at this story that has one of my favorite titles ever: www.thepinkhydra.com/issues/02022...

I am beyond happy to share this link. There are some truly wonderful authors in it and it i clues one my favorite stories I've written from the last year in it.

September has been crazy and I missed the launch day of this, but I'm so happy to share it now! A story originally written as an adventure story for a contest that I fell in love with. I'm so happy for it to have a home and I hope yall enjoy it too <3 hollowoakpress.com/of-lost-boys...

Day two of Fright Reads 2025 and I will be at my table with alllll my books

Friends in the Maryland / Virginia / surrounding areas! I'll be at Fright Reads this weekend at the Howard County Fairgrounds. I'll be selling copies of my books, two of which are no longer available online. Come say hi, and look around. There'll be a lot of cool folks there. www.frightreads.com

My entry into the Augur micro comp <3 The Myths of What Will Be @augursociety.bsky.social #AugurMicros2025

Excited to share my piece for Augur's micro fiction contest! @augursociety.bsky.social l #AugurMicros2025

This week I am feeling a lot of anxiety about not really being sure I belong places/ feeling very left out and I don't know how to shake it.

This makes me so happy I could cry. Black Sky, Blue Earth - my aching story about climate collapse & personal rebirth - is the lead story in this year’s @oysterriverpages.bsky.social. It has a lot of my soul in it. Please read it & all of Oyster River’s work www.oysterriverpages.com/black-sky-bl...

I just want somewhere to throw a bunch of mythic fic stories and have people love me

I am so so ready for October. Its become a small tradition for me to take a writing break in the fall. A month where as it approaches, I stop signing up for stuff (which is a bummer as there is some really cool stuff being announced) --

My story "It Takes a Village" won the 2025 microfiction Writing Battle!

Pink hair, who dis?

Ahhhh, I'm trying not to jinx myself but im pretty happy no matter what happens from here

Hair is pink, need to find energy to style then can post new pics :D

Home from NYC and watching Hadestown and y'all, I'm so so happy I got to go and see it and walk around the city and just be there. The musical was great, the whole 2nd act just wrecked me. I feel refilled creatively and want to just... be obnoxious again.

In New York for the first time thanks to some kind friends willing to plan the trip and drive up so we can see Hadestown tonight.

Today we are ✨️ disappointed ✨️ and wishing we could all do better next time.

Uh hi, hello, its me in that list!

Update they got us together on both planes there and pre assigned our seats for the flights back for me. Many anxieties eased this morning

Trying to get the customer service folks to adjust my seats for tomorrow because the computer decided me and my daughter should be halfway across the plane from each other and I dont particularly want to anxiously sit on this for 24 hours and hoping the gate can fix it. Wish me luuuck

One more week and I finish up with *waves arms around* the summer, I guess. Stay tuned to see if I have riots to throw.

Today I scrapped an idea I had been really excited about but the chaos feeling i wanted just fizzled once i had to actually get into the meat of it. 😓

😅 Maybe I just need the pressure (spoiler, I dont. I apply enough on my own lmao)

The feminine urge to pretend like I know how to write essays about literature when I can barely write literature itself.

I managed 14 submissions today, including a few poetry packets. Its been months since ive managed more than one or two at a time outside of contests. It feels good

I got an acceptance at the beginning of this year that led me to withdraw from several places I had really high hopes for, and I have yet to get a contract or even an update. Honestly, I'm just gutted at this point.

Ever just.... Have company, then don't, and the space you occupy is suddenly a blackhole? You don't know how to sit, breathe, or exist anymore? There's only a weird quiet sadness? Probably, if I knew how to write that as a story, I'd be onto something but I don't even have a proper description.

One of those strange celebrity deaths that feels more gutting to me than it should. Nip / Tuck and Charmed and other shows that were so extremly formative to me. A sad day for his family and friends </3

Feeling sad and frustrated and uninspired when I could really use the distraction.

Okay so we all know that the cactus is what made me click on this becuase I'm me but I love every vibe of this. The sort of cross-country nostalgia is spot on. Also, Im sorry but even with a grid folks in AZ only know how to give directions with landmarks so that segment is *painfully* on point

At the moment, I sort of feel like I'm heavily circling the same story over and over from different angles, and still not quite getting it right.

How does Sarah manage to capture all of those nostalgic, heart breaking, annoying moments of past selves all the time? I dont know but I love her work for it all the same. "you wonder if you were really that dramatic or just drunk."

This last week was so chaotic, I forgot to share a release! Another little thing about grief and dreams and love. 101words.org/the-library-...

5 submissions sent out tonight and I think I'm calling it a day. All I have left is 100 and 250 word bits that I can not figure out where to send to save my life.

This piece is absolute perfection. Literary Choose Your Own Adventure. It’s brilliant it’s impactful, it will fuck you up.

We're finally reading for our 9th issue! Go to the l!nk in our bio to submit, and be sure to spread the word 🔆 #submissionopportunity #writers #litmag

Friendly reminder that sometimes people are just idiots, and a little grace can truly go a very long way.

Im so pleased to have this semi steamy desert flash in this year's flood <3 flashfloodjournal.blogspot.com/2025/06/betw...

This is the first thing I remember reading by Rachel, and its never quite left my head.
