I have a new tiny story in @havehashad.com today about fleeting connections. thanks as always to @aaronburch.bsky.social, one of the best editors around, & to all of you who read this one ♡ 💀 🪦 ♡ www.havehashad.com/hadposts/our...

I have a new story in Craft Literary, “Two Old Friends and a Ghost Walk Into the Woods”, about the people & places that haunt us. would be so thrilled for you to read this one 👻 🌲 🤍 www.craftliterary.com/2025/09/19/t...

Published this @anniejowrites.bsky.social story two years ago this week. An incredible banger, have taught it a couple times, still hear raves about it often…

“We pick a lovely patch of mossy earth. It’s the perfect place for our imperfect girl.” Love this story full of lingering and longing by @anniejowrites.bsky.social in Craft Literary.

the best way for me to write a new short story out of nowhere is to tell myself it’s time to work on my novel

"We misunderstand as often as we enjoy each other." This piece is sooooo good

"Leela sending us out here feels like her forcing us into an irritable hug one last time." My lord, this extraordinary storytelling by @anniejowrites.bsky.social 💙💙💙

So delighted to have this story (a piece of the novel I'm working on) be the winner of @expositionreview.bsky.social flash contest! 🥺🥺

maybe the real novel is all the short stories we wrote along the way

this is my emotional support book that sits in my lap as I scroll on my phone

“I worried I should have held onto my mystique a bit longer.” Oh, this excellent flash by @anniejowrites.bsky.social in @havehashad.com!🤍🤍

Oh do I EVER love this new story by @anniejowrites.bsky.social ! Smart, darkly funny, sharp but also so moving. The breathlessness. The weirdness. The follow on from the title. Excellent. 🌟"Want to come?" I joked, "It's too soon but take me to the next one."

another Anna Vangala Jones stunner! Anna is really one of the best at it rn, maybe in general, especially with these short, emotional, heartwrenching gutpunches ...he kissed me in front of a tombstone that read, "Beloved and remembered. Until we meet again." https://www.havehashad.com/gqnao

"'He loves Bruce Springsteen, so he can't be that bad,' I told them." Big love for this gem (perfect last line!) by @anniejowrites.bsky.social in @havehashad.com 💙💙💙

I was thinking recently about how much I missed writing dialogue. This piece I wrote for the "my body, my choice" inaugural issue of Hot Flash Literary uses lots of dialogue and is very short. I'd love for you to read it and the whole amazing debut issue! 💙 hotflashliterary.com/wyoming/

Dream come true to have a story in @xraylitmag.bsky.social !!!

my issue of Threepenny is here! here’s my poem “Present Tense,” I would love for you to give it a read! “I know this so loudly I don’t hear, at first, my father’s silence.”

the best writing sessions are the ones where you add only ten new words, end up deleting a few paragraphs instead, & then just get in bed to read a book

‘“I suppose,” he says. “We can never know what’s going on inside someone’s marriage.”’ Every @sudhab.bsky.social gives me a peek into a new family and their characters, it leaves me wanting to read more. Read this new one in @thin-skin.bsky.social

I have a new story out today! Huge thanks to @kimmagowan.bsky.social & @pitheadchapel.bsky.social. And to you, for reading! (No thanks AT ALL to you if you don't read it 😤) pitheadchapel.com/the-bowling-...

Sunday reading from Doric Literary. "Mae and Me" by @anniejowrites.bsky.social is a brilliant story about loss, & not quite loss, & unexpected people who can help you move on. If you've ever not understood a lover's departure, you'll feel this one in your bones. doric-literary.com/2025/08/15/m...

me at 2am: I’ve written a masterpiece. me reading it the next morning: what was I even trying to say

“Now texting her husband, even a brief few words, is like sending her thoughts to an abandoned storage unit. A place for forgotten things.” Such a stunner in @havehashad.com by @anniejowrites.bsky.social

Another day, another @anniejowrites.bsky.social story that breaks my heart. ❤️

always an honor & a pleasure & a treat to get to feature new Anna Vangala Jones! "She loves her husband and has every day for the two decades they’ve been together. Even when she hasn’t liked him very much, she’s loved him. But they have fallen into a routine." https://www.havehashad.com/jqr82

“Now texting her husband, even a brief few words, is like sending her thoughts to an abandoned storage unit. A place for forgotten things. Never to be opened.” Chance meetings and what-ifs. Congrats @anniejowrites.bsky.social on another @havehashad.com skull!!
