What I read in April annalieselemmon.com/2026/05/07/h...

Elijah said the spirit sounded like a still small voice; in today's story, it's more likely to sound like the theme from the Pink Panther or a telenovella. @annalieselemmon.bsky.social takes us into a world only slightly different from our own. #latterdaysaints #HolyGhost #magicalrealism

I totally forgot to come to Twitter last week and announce our new issue! Check it out---it's the long-awaited Temple issue!

New issue of @irreantum.bsky.social just dropped, with my poem "To Know the Sweet" irreantum.associationmormonletters.org/_to-know-the... Author commentary: annalieselemmon.com/published-wo...

Here's what I read last month. annalieselemmon.com/2026/04/08/h...

It's time to submit to the Mormon Lit Blitz again! www.mormonlitlab.org/post/call-fo...

I've found it takes me three drafts just to figure out what I was trying to say in the first place. The writing is the thinking.

New issue coming soon: www.patreon.com/posts/temple...

Today's drop is our February newsblotter, with news about our print editions and interesting publications from around the web. Plus check out our list of deadlines for new opportunities to show off your work! open.substack.com/pub/furtherl...

I rearranged my plans, and my poem "To Know the Sweet" was accepted!

My story "Music of the Spirit" will be reprinted in this issue. it will be available online April 21!

It's my writing resolutions! annalieselemmon.com/2026/01/01/g...

What I accomplished in 2025 annalieselemmon.com/2025/12/31/a...

Just completed my game of Metroid Prime 4 and I am MAD. That is not the type of ending the narrative promised me. And "there's no going back after this" is supposed to mean "make sure you have the time to sit through the ending" not "we're going to lock your save file"

This is your friendly reminder to back up your computers. This message was brought to you by my laptop which refuses to charge anymore. (Everything was backed up the day before when I saw the warning signs)

What I read in October annalieselemmon.com/2025/11/07/h...

What I read in September. annalieselemmon.com/2025/10/03/h...

What I read in August: annalieselemmon.com/2025/09/08/h...

2 days until the sequel comes out. 1 boss until credits roll. Can I do it? #HollowKnight

I have started a new project where I interview finalists from the latest Mormon Lit Blitz. Today, the first podcast went live. I discuss "A Ward House Stirring" with William Morris. You can find it on my YouTube channel, on The Mormon Lit Lab Podcast, and the transcript on Mormon Lit Lab website.

and--idk quite how to articulate this--but the work of it is... critical to art-making. like you discover your intentions through the labor of expressing them. if I'd woken up at 17 with the technical ability to write a novel, i wouldn't have known what i was trying to say. the work IS the product.

I spent at least an hour brainstorming various names for a Martian town based on Ray Bradbury's name only to discover the place where Curiosity Rover landed, the place where I want to set my town, is called Bradbury Landing. #amwriting

5 stars to "10 Visions of the Future; or, Self-Care for the End of Days" by @samtasticbooks.com

What I read in July annalieselemmon.com/2025/08/05/h...

A little project I've been working... I hope you'll join me. Links in the usual places, or check out www.furtherlightmag.com

Acceptance day! My poem "Rameumptum of Grief" will appear in the fall issue of Exponent II.

Both of my sons loved playing Undertale. After the younger passed away a year and a half ago, whenever I miss him, I play the Undertale soundtrack and remember his struggle with Undine or his dancing to Megalovania.

I found this post super useful because it BOTH had a reminder AND a link 😂 If you are a Worldcon member and have not yet voted on the Hugo Awards, you still have time, but not for much longer! (Voting ends at midnight Pacific time.)

"We Will Teach You How to Read | We Will Teach You How to Read" is one of the best stories I've ever read. It's one of only a very few stories that I would give a 10/10. (Yes, I'm very stingy with 10/10s.) At the very least, please make sure to read it! www.lightspeedmagazine.com/fiction/we-w...

Stories I read in June: annalieselemmon.com/2025/07/03/h...

TIL that July is Disability Awareness Month and it has a flag. www.goodhousekeeping.com/.../disabili... Disabled people are the largest minority, and everyone is just one bad luck event away from joining them.

Not up for going to the protest physically, but here are my signs. #NoKings

Writing research. #TheAmazingRaceInSpace #SaturnChallenge

If/when LLMs are able to reflect on social, political, and personal realities, it will only be able to reflect on those realities that are in the training model. The views/experiences of people who aren't in the model, like the marginalized, LLMs will never be able to produce that.

I loved this story!

When I was studying CS, a professor philosophized that engineering had disasters that were taught as a warning, so when would CS have such a disaster? LLMs are the thing that has come closest to scaring me that such a disaster is coming because of all the errors and biases that are tolerated.

We're in the Radium Vitalizer stage of learning to live with LLM technology. It's all fun and games until your bones start to glow. www.orau.org/health-physi...

Fascinating thread on why DOGE's notion of rewriting the IRS's code is likely to be a disaster

Added the @skeuomorphpress.org printer’s mark before printing a larger batch of 14th Amendment broadsides. Gonna try to print a few hundred today
