"When the mailboxes started appearing all over town—the ones in which you could send letters to your dead that they’d be able to receive and read—we all regarded it as something dangerous." 📬 Find @anniejowrites.bsky.social's haunting story in The Bulb Region today. bulbregion.com/Unsent-Love-...

A fantastic story by a truly fantastic author

“Do the dead write back to you?” “And even if they do—then what?” Love this story about mailboxes that hold letters for the dead and yes, phone booths (remember them?) from which you can call and talk to them! @anniejowrites.bsky.social @bulbregion.bsky.social

posting new published writing across like eight platforms hoping it finds readers is rough, but then when someone does read it & loves it & tells you so, it’s worth it

“What if we were to trust and fill each mailbox to the brim with our love letters until they overflowed into the streets?” @anniejowrites.bsky.social in @bulbregion.bsky.social

Today is Tuesday, and that's a great day to read this story

Been thinking a lot about this since it came up among some writer pals: Writers, do you have a short story you consider your signature or flat out best work? Why that one? Good feedback, dear to your heart, good blend of what you like to do best? Every answer is interesting imo

I hope you have @pdforan.bsky.social’s collection on your radar, book lovers. It’s a stunner!📚💙

being a writer is just knowing how to write then forgetting then remembering over & over until you die
