This is surreal, but we're open to submissions in 23 days. Not an April Fool. www.adventitious.net/submission-g...

Keeping up with the theme of three today, 3 rejections in my inbox this morning. What's next??

I had THREE nightmares last night. Maybe some sleep paralysis. I haven’t been that freaked out in a long time! I blame e v e r y t h i n g and daylight savings. Send me all the coffeeeeee…😴☕️

"None of this needs to happen. Giving in to these infected humans, these fallen gods, these natural disasters made flesh. We don’t have to roll over and offer ourselves up as victims to a process those in power don’t understand and refuse to protect us from." read in @flashfictiononline.bsky.social

Just have to say, so grateful for all my writing friends I’ve met over the years. If we’ve connected, just know I appreciate you!! Your support means the world to me. 💕

Thanks so much Cathrine! 🫶 To spread the love, here are five more: @angelaliu.bsky.social @cjsubko.bsky.social @ideofmarch.bsky.social @noirbettie.bsky.social @joellekillian.bsky.social Gah! There are so many more I want to add, but passing along for others to shout out. 🖤

We've got a ROOTin'-tootin' flash fiction theme for you this month! 🍄‍🟫🫚 March's flash fiction theme is MYCELIUM. Please be aware that mushrooms alone will not be sufficient - we're looking for mycelium specifically. You have until the end of the month to submit! www.patreon.com/posts/march-...

Today's Pick is told through increasingly frantic fic updates and author notes. A fan’s dream trip to the ruins behind a popular game turns to a real-time distress signal from inside House Marcello. It's "Let Me Out by @QueSarahSarah1986" by @cjtavares.bsky.social. Read it at gavagai.com

“Distance, like love, is a feeling you cannot measure until the end.” This was an especially immersive read today as I read in a room that currently has a hole in the ceiling. Not sure I can look at it the same. 👀 Beautiful work Angela!!

Free to read today is the second story of Issue 6: "Pizza Delivery to Dagon" by Tyler Kurtz! These babes just want to pay for their pizza....or is it something more sinister? Find out for yourself, free on our website! dielaughingmag.com/2...

I've just entered my 42nd short writing piece on The Submission Grinder. I turn 42 at the end of this year. 42 is the answer to everything. I don't think I can write any more stories for the rest of the year. 💫🚀👍🤖😜

FRIENDS. Registration for 2026 is OPEN! We can’t wait to see you!

Oh check this out! I was fortunate enough to see this story’s early draft and it has stuck with me since (sense?) You’ll get what I mean when you read it. 😉

Fuck no. I write for humans, not slop slurpers.

Check out this great deal! 🙀 And a reminder I have a story in Volume 7 called "The Beast of Boma Road" but at this price, you should really get them all!

No rest, get ready! (polish, polish, polish until it shines 🌟)

Let me know what you're reading for Women in Horror Month. I'm currently reading Charlene Elsby, and Rebecca Campbell.

It is Women in Horror Month! Drop names, men: What woman in horror do you admire the most?

Fire the next one.

Not to toot my own horn, but I'm editing a flash piece and every time I get to the end of the story I get chills. That must be a good sign!

Just bought my ticket to @4thstreetfantasy.bsky.social ! June 19-21st in Minneapolis!! Who's going??

My latest story is very angry and timely and I'd like it to stop being timely.

Generative AI has no place in a child's art classroom. What value are we placing on art when we have children use AI during the creation process? What message are we sending children on their capability to create something from nothing if we start the process with AI? 😤

I've exceeded 400 lifetime short story rejections. Wow! That's a lot of times I've put myself out there and have been told no, but it hasn't stopped me yet! Rejections are inevitable when submitting your work. Celebrating them eases the sting, so I think I'm going to get myself a little treat today.

New story out today in @clarkesworldmagazine.com ! "Person, Place, Thing": go, read, enjoy! clarkesworldmagazine.com/lingen_03_26/

It’s Women in Horror Month!! In 2024 I was featured on @talestoterrify.bsky.social for this month with my story “Swirls and Eddies.” It was my first podcasted story. Link if you want to give it a listen: talestoterrify.com/episodes/634...

New earrings!

Can we consider matriarchy now??

Quite honestly feels like living through a dystopian novel right now.

Yes, grab the tissues for this one. This story is so sweet and tender and has excellent taste in music. I really loved this @cornellwriter.bsky.social !!

Watch where you step! The first story from Die Laughing Issue 6 is free to read today, and if you're not careful you might just fall...in love! Read "Hole in the Ground" by Ron Dionne today! dielaughingmag.com/2...

Oh myy, I just adore this story!

My flash story 'Hold Your Horses Close' (860 words) is on the Nebula Reading list and can be considered for the Hugo. I would love if you could give it read! plotthoundmag.com/hold-your-ho...

The best part about replaying FF Tactics on the switch with voice acting, is now I know how to pronounce everyone’s names. 😆

As a kid, it was a rare treat to spot a bald eagle soaring above. Now I see at least one everyday on the drive to school. I still get as excited about it as I did as a kid. The recovery of this species is testament to the resilience of nature, so long as humans take the time to care.

hello friends! want to read my new-old story? i wrote it ~12 years ago! i think it’s pretty good. available in print and ebook now, online eventually.

My first ever award eligibility flyer! Hold Your Horses Close and Float are both on the Nebula Reading list. These stories are eligible for Hugo Noms, too!

I finally gave in to peer pressure and made an award eligibility graphic (two months late 😂). Nebula nominations close in less than a week and Hugos in a month! Would love if you considered my poems or short stories.
