“Angela’s mom suggests that I make a list of the things I am responsible for. It should be present tense.” "This was the last person to leave her, but I was still the last to fail her." @nathanwillis.bsky.social @reckonreview.bsky.social reckonreview.com/working-titl...

Absolutely honored to have a new story up today in the fantastic @reckonreview.bsky.social. Thank you so much, Meagan and Drew for giving this one a home.

Mystery note in story draft: He put hummus on chickpeas and called it blond on blonde.

Authors will keep writing. If big publishing wants AI books, we will run our own presses and publish ourselves and each other. They want so desperately to outmode humans, but let's promise each other we won't give in.

“For Carrie, the first question is When, but Alexa declines, saying, “That time has never been available.” “ Love this one by Gary Fincke in @gooseberrypielit.bsky.social

I loved Carter Lappin's "Sometimes You Can’t Help but Feel Like He Does These Things on Purpose" most for the way it weighs the definitions of help and helplessness. Its imagery. How quickly it sets a scene and ashes it completely. www.astrolabe.ooo/lappin-somet...

This is an absolutely asinine thing to say, so bear with me, but please read the others books I’ve written other than The Nothing That Is. I see that one being read on Kindle Unlimited and it has the most reviews. I get it. But read the other, sadder, darker, fucked up books plz?

Scooby Doo cartoon had it right all those decades ago.
