Got a new one-sentence story that has first given seed in a hospital waiting room, then progressed in the SmokeLong Fitness (@smokelong.bsky.social), and found its final shape on Complete Sentence (@completesentence.bsky.social) today. Hope you enjoy.

Glad to be finally back here, too. It was really fun to chat with @aaronburch.bsky.social about my short story, "The People Who Live Inside," which was published on Short Story, Long last week. Happy reading!

I wrote a micro fiction about what happens when you want to move into the Eiffel Tower and your dad doesn’t accept. It's called "L'America" and you can read it on Scaffold Lit Mag, thanks to the amazing Steve Gergley. www.scaffoldlit.com/microwriting...

Thrilled to have my first pub of the year in @gooseberrypielit.bsky.social #25! I’m so appreciative of being in the same issue with all these amazing writers. gooseberry-pie.com/daddy/

A big thanks to @trampset.bsky.social for nominating my story, "The Alphabet Soup," for Best Small Fictions! The link is below if you are interested in giving it a read:

Quite new here, so please mind my first-ever shameless hee-haw: I was lucky to have this little piece published in the one and only @jmwwjournal.bsky.social just before the year's end. It has Barack Obama, Jackson 5, and Judge Judy in it all at once—now do what you will with that. 👀

Just tried to explain my new year's resolutions to my dog and she walked out mid-meeting. Brutal feedback.
