question for writers who have fiction/poetry published in a magazine or journal: how did you find the right home for your work? i keep submitting to places that i admire + i think match the vibe of my work and i keep getting rejections that say my piece is "not a good fit" #WriterSky #LitMags

i love going to farmer's markets

More people are realizing folks won't share without alt text so they're putting pretty useless stuff in alt text for shares. Please click and check

Unfollowed an artist I love today because they have a habit of putting a quip in alt text, a joke about the image, without describing the image. That feels like a double slap in the face of anyone who can't see the image. Not only don't they know what the image is but they can't get the joke either.

two out of four: check.

If you're someone who didn't have many friends and got bullied as a kid/teenager and now you're an author, I think one weird brain flip hurdle can be psyching yourself up that yes, people would want to read your book. Your book is great because of you and your talent and voice, not despite you.

cass is winning hands down #AmDrafting

Boosting this in case anyone has a little bit of cash they can give xx

planning to spend valentines day making a zine, working on my novel, drinking a latte, and of course, yearning.

#QueerWriters Monday: goals day i'd like to finish the character sheet i'm working on (i'm about halfway through), mainly because i want to get back to drafting LOL #WritingCommunity #LGBTQwriters

i might try doing an entire life history of Salem, as part of his character sheet

A 20-year-old Palestinian was killed by Israeli gunfire in the Nur Shams camp in the occupied West Bank, according to the Palestinian Ministry of Health. 🔴 LIVE updates:
