“Am I here because I come running whenever you call or because I can lift heavy furniture for you?” Oh…💔. When a relationship ends who do we become to the one we love(d)? A fabulous little exploration by @anniejowrites.bsky.social in @bulbregion.bsky.social

“so we can touch hands and pretend it is an accident of fate” Tangled web here, so good Anna!

“I’m squeezing fruit like I’m touching the body of a new love while my heart is still longing for the familiarity of the one I’ve just left or lost.” Read Anna Vangala Jones’ @anniejowrites.bsky.social juicy new micro, “Mangoes and Tequila,” in The Bulb Region today. bulbregion.com/Mangoes-and-...

Dropped a couple excerpts of 𝘛𝘢𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘢 on HAD today to celebrate myself and my book release. (Also use it to announce an accompanying HAD call coming on Thursday...)

telling websites to remember me as I leave & pause in the doorway to look back at them over my shoulder

New Natalie Warther alert! 🚨 “I try to explain to my son, Mommy might become a bird before you become a bird. He says with hawkish confidence not to worry, that he would keep me as his pet.” Read “All the People Are Becoming Birds” in The Bulb Region. bulbregion.com/All-the-Peop...

I don’t want “to achieve success” I want to sit on a park bench among tall trees and birds and read a book and look at some clouds and ducks

really loved getting to have this chat with @keersteemack.bsky.social for @xraylitmag.bsky.social. and she's incredibly kind in the intro! "Tacoma has all the hallmarks of a Burch book—nostalgia, magic, fun, optimism, friendship, and more heart than almost any other writer doing it today."

On January 24th, my parents home burned down. They and my disabled brother escaped with only minor burns but they lost everything they've ever had. I'm running a GoFundMe to help them recover and rebuild. I would be deeply grateful for any donations but also for any shares!

and you may find yourself reading everything you wrote in your notes app at 4am and you may tell yourself this is not my beautiful story

got my first good writing news of 2026—the wonderful @sarpsozdinler.bsky.social asked me to send over a few stories for his lovely new journal. he’ll be publishing two of them in @bulbregion.bsky.social! can’t wait to share them with you 💌

pretending my novel is a collection of short stories about the same characters to trick myself into writing it

being a writer is fun. sometimes you’ll love a new thing you wrote, give up & abandon it, then come across it years later only to fall in love all over again

"When Daniel vanished, he left two women behind. Mae, our elderly landlady in 4A, and me, his wife." 🎉 Check out Former Editorial Fiction Assistant @anniejowrites.bsky.social's story in @doricliterary.bsky.social! buff.ly/BFDkwxe

I love sleeping yet I never sleep. one of life’s unsolved mysteries

And you know it's good from the first sentence.

on earth we’re briefly too online

so appreciate these kind words from the wonderful writer @iamchrisscott.bsky.social about my story in CRAFT. it’s in excellent company on this list 👻 🌲 www.craftliterary.com/2025/09/19/t...

a writing residency on a train. you look out the window, eavesdrop, have conversations with strangers, read, nap, & hopefully write before it ends

Every time I reread this from @anniejowrites.bsky.social I think about how every lost relationship is a kind of death but then again how death itself is just a kind of lost relationship, and then how it feels like this could have been a 10-page story but it's not. www.havehashad.com/hadposts/our...

Recent order; short story lover ♥️

planned to work on my novel so naturally I ended up writing a brand new short story that I love instead

It's release day for my book! Thank you so much to @jacklegpress.bsky.social and @fulmerford.com

!!!!!

writing is so funny because you think wow I hope people read this thing I made but also oh no what if people read it

nice short stories you got there. would be a shame if someone suggests you turn one of them into a novel
