It’s March. Concert season starts now.

I know who I’m rooting for!

Love this dancing flower

ICYMI:

Too adorable for me not to repost.

My story about friendship and first love gets aniother chance, thanks to Trashcat Lit. Read it here: trashcatlit.com/best-friends...

"It wasn’t its bulk or fragility that dissuaded me, but the thought of watching Elie cut open the bubble wrap, his face expanding with hope as he mistook the gift—from Clara but really, he would think, from me—as a sign of something I no longer felt." Such an amazing story!

Look for another story from me on the 28th!

"She pictures the wide church steps where she used to play with her cousin Eleni. The alley where she’d feed the stray cats, tens of them, tabbies with white bellies. The grocery store where she worked the till when she was fifteen..." Brilliant work! rawlit.weebly.com/6_3.html

Current read as the snow continues to fall:

"Maybe she'd be less desperate for his attention if her Daddy spent less time in his car, maneuvering around curves and bumps. His hand sits at my waist as if it's hopeful, as if it did nothing wrong, as if it gets yet another redo..."

"She can smell smoke even though the windows are closed. If John were here they’d be gone by now and Kelly would be screaming at him to turn back around to get Kit. But he’s not. And she’s waited too long to make a decision."

"He now clutches me less like bone porcelain and more like a winning lottery ticket, like deep-rooted sage grass at the edge of a cliff.." Beautiful line after beautiful line.

ICYMi: “Metal Hearts,” published last fall at @en-gendered.bsky.social. Thanks again!

“I want to ask is Mama gone for always and was it because I ask too many questions” broke my heart when I read it. Amazing piece!

It’s occurred to me I have 14(!) pieces out on submission. It’s also occurred to me I need a new system other than “sent something there recently.”

Spin that wheel! Such a great selection.

A great place to send your work!

Spent Sunday shaking it off at Five15. Always a good time.

Congratulations to all the winners!

2024 was a busy year for my writing. I kept saying "I'm going to update my website after this pub, after this workshop, after this pub (again)." 4 months later, it's finally done.

Here is my new micro. Thank you so much to @freeflashfiction.bsky.social for publishing it!
