WE DID IT!!! 🎉🎉🎉 over $20,000 raised with 3 days still left to go! Thank you all so much to everyone who shared and supported our Kickstarter; we truly, TRULY couldn't have done it without you! 💜👽 Bask in the warm glow of a fully funded Kickstarter with us 🌟 www.kickstarter.com/projects/ape...

Admittedly been waiting for next payday to check this out but I just had a look and Ohmygosh the add-ons are INCREDIBLE. I am honestly so excited for Friday and deciding how I am going to support such an AMAZING magazine 😍

Check out the awesome add-ons to the Apex Kickstarted, which includes digital copies of my award-winning short story collection TURDUCKEN as well as books from fantastic authors like @kurellian.bsky.social, @renanbernardo.com, @jasonsanford.bsky.social, @ecatherine.com and more!

One time I had a first reader make a comment about my story that they weren't sure what the point of it was. I fear I have just finished the rough draft of a new story that also contains no point but gosh I really like it!

Thankful I found more time to write in September than I had all summer. October is starting out a little iffy but we will see how it adds up.

Absolutely incredible poem, wow

ICYMI I have a new story out!

Was a crazy week but I have a new story in Flash Fiction Magazine! flashfictionmagazine.com/blog/2025/02...

I need to ask authors to really consider how physically taxing and difficult it would be to drag dead weight around and dig graves. Too many books make it sound effortless

Happy slightly snowy Sunday all ❤️

Birthday gifts from the parents ☺️

It’s my birthday today so naturally I received a story rejection first thing lol

Just sent a story to my ultimate dream magazine because what the hell, you only live once (It will get rejected in two days)

So happy to announce I have a poem in the latest issue of @sfpoetry.bsky.social! Thrilled to be among such talented writers in this beautiful issue

First publication of 2025!☺️

I've been dreading posting this because it was incredibly hard to curate, but: I made a (some of) The Best Speculative Poetry of 2024 list for people trying to get into poetry and looking for poems to nominate for awards. 💙📚 vanessajae.com/the-best-speculative-poetry-of-2024/

Gonna try to spent more time over here than over there because… well… you know

Reading 2024 poetry? Try the poem "there are no taxis for the dead" by Angela Liu! (@angelaliu.bsky.social) You can read it here! https://www.uncannymagazine.com/article/there-are-no-taxis-for-the-dead/

Trying to figure out how to keep receiving my speciality medication in this new year has been a nightmare ugh :(

Just sent my most stressful and terrifying submission yet 😭 Sounds so silly to say because of why and what it is but I feel so nervous about this mostly because I don’t want to come off as embarrassing and lame :( Now to focus on something else, anything else haha

Not to be too personal but December is always a really rough month for me no matter what, and busy!!! Been dodging the crazy mess by finding a quiet minute to read, write, or just be present Hopefully January is a bit better and I can focus and spend more time on things

Eye to the Telescope is OPEN! Send me your submissions about Plants! Alien plants, magical plants, vampire plants! All the plants!
