Writing Tip: I can never say enough how getting short stories published in anthologies (even small ones) will really help your writing career. You get a little cash, you get some experience, and it helps get the attention of those you're submitting your work to. #writing #writingtips #writesky

When I was in college, our literature professor had us read Alexis Abola's "At the ends of the hyphen" for our short story exam. It introduced me to the em dash and I've been obsessed about using it ever since.
