I generally find if you have to explain something is not racist, it absolutely is.

It's filling up! Join us! Replay videos available for those who can't make it 📹

Only gone and bagged 3rd in this brilliant comp 🙌🫡😚. 2nd and 1st were obvious wowers, naturellement. And I think it’s something akin to squishy having your story read by pros. Classy people, you @failingwriters.bsky.social

In case you missed it, I wrote a thing to hopefully help folks not land in the wrong place. Since then, it’s been agent/editor approved more than once. Hah. gabinoiglesias.substack.com/p/too-many-s...

📣Workshop with pro tips for getting your flash collection together and into the world/Q&A - Replay recordings will be sent to ticket holders/those who can't make it 📽️

Once in a blue moon I write a poem.

‘Both the Green Party’s activists and its sceptics would do well to avoid reading its fortunes off a script written abroad or in the past.’ @michaelchessum.bsky.social on what is next for the Greens: www.lrb.co.uk/blog/2025/oc...

I have a little ghost story in SFPJ today - "Jimmy. Fucking. Bang." Thanks to Francine!

This month's From the Bookshelf writing prompt features an entry in the 1,149+-page New Lexicon Webster's Dictionary. Enjoy! cherylpappas.substack.com/p/from-the-b...
