Every Super Bowl ad is for the door in the forest. It’s annoying. “You must walk through the door.” Yeah thanks, I know that already. I dream of the door every night

Ain't no party like a hot tub party. Pithead Chapel published my story Public Relations Professionals Hot Tub Night in their new issue! pitheadchapel.com/public-relat...

Really juiced for this. Always wanted to join forces with Malarky and my fav dude @danielmiller.bsky.social is providing all the art. Too cool. NEVER NOTHING ships in October. Buy all the books!

TODAY 2:30pm I’m bringing the bacon-fat chocolate chip cookies from Swiss Pastry Shop to this, but here are the ground rules: NO BOOKIE, NO COOKIE

I had the honor of answered five of @andrewcareaga.bsky.social’s questions for his Friday Five series! I talked writing, football, and how tricky it is to name a short story collection andrewcareaga.com/2026/01/30/f...

Whoa I’m in two Friday Fives this week! Thanks, @major7mag.bsky.social!

Jack lore!

Check out my Friday Five interview with @andrewcareaga.bsky.social!

I could tell that a couple of my coworkers had read my book because they were whispering about Elvis Grbac when I entered the conference room

If you think this is funny (and it is) wait until you find out this character’s first name

Fort Worth, come thaw out with me this Saturday at Monkey & Dog!

love this perfect flashback remembrance from Kevin Grauke "New driver’s license hot in my Velcro wallet. I drove her to a steakhouse—K-Bob’s—to impress. No fool, when the waiter asked how, I replied, Well done." https://www.havehashad.com/2sow5

Well, in spite of my efforts, it looks like we’re not gonna be able to pull this off. Sorry to all who expressed interest. BUT: I’m thinking with more lead time we might be able to swing this at AWP in Chicago?

“But it’s too late for all that. You have melted, little snowflake, and now you are but one drop of water in the turgid, curdled human ocean.” Some morning fiction for us all.

Next week!

Kept seeing everyone sharing this one yesterday and so had it open in a tab to get to, and finally got to this morning. And, indeed, it's really wonderful! The whole thing, and then culminating in such a perfect, fun, beautiful final paragraph.

I have a new “how to” story up at @xraylitmag.bsky.social that was inspired by two things: 1. Bono jumping off the stage at Live Aid to save a struggling young girl in the crowd 2. My wife saving our youngest child from choking to death on three separate occasions xraylitmag.com/how-to-survi...

“Maybe finding yourself alone while surrounded by strangers and losing control felt like the closest thing to dying.” Every day I’m mad I can’t write like @johnwaddy.bsky.social

@johnwaddy.bsky.social has established and mastered this style of music fiction that is so good and feels so real. Just an absolute delight to see that on display here in this incredible story.

“You have melted, little snowflake, and now you are but one drop of water in the turgid, curdled human ocean.” Sheesh, what a banger of a story. So damn good.

Very proud and excited to share a new story in X-R-A-Y today This piece started out as a riff about Bono going into the crowd at Live Aid and ended up as a meditation on the asymmetrical love between parents and children thanks to @joshuahebburn.bsky.social for the keen and perceptive edits!

read this story by John Waddy Bullion @johnwaddy.bsky.social ! it's about a girl who gets trapped in a crowd crush during a big concert. i feel like the claustrophobic writing style matches the story - don't miss this ! xraylitmag.com/how-to-survi...

a likely name for a historian of the largest city in the state of Maryland to have

I'm glad Jim Reardon ended up being a very important Pixar person, with an Oscar nomination for writing the script to Wall-E. But it's pretty clear from this 1986 student short film why he ended up on The Simpsons first.

The moment we've all been waiting for: Fernando Mendoza's "Here's What I Learned From Winning a National Championship" LinkedIn post

New story for you today via @somewordslit.bsky.social “On the day they ran the new system at work, they had us speak our names into the machine … I said my name, slowly, clearly, with conviction. The machine spat out a new badge that read Slulder Bilnie” somewords.boards.net/thread/52/sh...
