The problem with this site is that nobody appreciates my excellent content. 😡

Writing/Lit profs: My short story collection comes out in August (!!) and I'd love to Zoom (or come in person in the DMV) and read and/or teach a lesson. Let me know if you'd be interested!

"And what's the point of fucking a poet if you have to handle your own business?" Doric Literary contributor @writesloud.bsky.social has a new story at @wigleaf.bsky.social. Every writer who reads this short flash is guaranteed to say, "Damn, I wish I'd written that." wigleaf.com/202505nina.htm

My laptop died and I had to print up my novel from the cloud while figuring out how to afford a new one. I didn't realize how emotional I would be, physically touching these words. Realizing that I'm actually pretty close now.

I need a really good new-to-me short story collection. Recs?

My husband said this was my "brand" and 1. RUDE, 2. he's not wrong, and 3. Loook they're so cute and scary! 🥹 www.scientificamerican.com/article/carn...

I've discovered the world of girl streamers who respond to verbal harassment from the men they're playing against by calmly destroying them. Making them cry and rage quilt. I don't even play Call of Duty. But I could watch this every day. It's my new anti-anxiety med.

imagine being loved and accepted for who you are like this wow

I started writing short stories when freelancing began to feel terrible. I needed to write short, weird things instead of click-y things. @wigleaf.bsky.social was one of the first journals I fell in love with. A dream pub. One day, I hoped! Today I have a story there. 😱🥹

Super cool development: Just found out Boxcutters is one of four new release contenders in the Book Jacket Bracket, where you judge book covers for aesthetic/design! This is extra hype for me because I designed the cover! If you dig it, you can vote to boost it! bookjacketbracket.com

Greetings from a company whose job it is to book writers for events. This shit is DEFINITELY trickling down.

all i want to do is read and write and gay
