Thank you, @thenewquarterly.bsky.social, for publishing my creative nonfiction piece 'The Last Barrel' in your latest issue! The piece is here: tnq.ca/story/the-la... It's angry, it's hopefully a bit funny... and it's the first nonfiction piece I've ever published! That's a true story.

"You're allowed to be what you could!" A lyric from Wolf Alice's 'Blush'. Powerful and endlessly uplifting. A love story between a lesbian God and a peasant in 1400's France... the stuff I used to think about, when I was free... here's the story... trentlewin.wordpress.com/2014/08/24/a...

"I want to be me, is that not allowed?????" I congratulate Lola Young on the song of my spring thus far (I know it came out earlier in 2024). 'Messy' is anger and truth and belting out with guts, and I'm so here for that.

#writers of Bluesky: some pieces work. Some don't. Audiences range. Mileage varies. Did you ever wonder why this happens? I tried to engineer an answer. trentlewin.com/2025/05/25/m...

Star Wars lives! #andorseason2

#Andorseason2... we are in the presence of greatness.

#Andor is as rewatchable as the Original Trilogy but for different reasons. That scene of Bix... utterly broke me. Dedra and her fate... Krennic and his sheer awfulness... holding back the stormtroopers as Partagaz does what was inevitable. And the Force healer's look, knowing. This is legend.

#andorseason2 is over. The show is done. And it is legend now. Unparalleled mastery of storytelling and so bloody inspirational that I don’t think I can sleep.

Give me my Andor fix please. Please! I know the show is over after this but let’s go out with a massive bang.

Springsteen’s ‘Nebraska’ playing in this lonely Monday office. What a downer of a song, but still a great story.

Hello, writers. I'm sure you all have your own process for developing ideas into stories. I have a particular one, cultivated over the years, that is essentially random and nonsensical but seems to work. This is how I do it, anyway. If you got tips, I'm listening! trentlewin.com/2025/05/10/a...

#Andor S2 episodes 7 to 9… so utterly next level that I can’t sleep. What utter miracle of storytelling is happening before our eyes? Fifty years since it began and Star Wars is giving us its greatest story. This is madness. But it’s happening. And I’m so here for it.

I have seen the truth of #starwars through #andor, and it is very good. There is a narrative running through this story. A long, eternal narrative that is the very core of Star Wars. Indulge me in explaining what it is: trentlewin.com/2025/04/26/a...

I'm not spoiling anything, but we need to come to grips with what Star Wars is actually about and why it's endured for almost fifty years. I think Andor has revealed the truth, and I'm glad of it. I've written about it here: trentlewin.com/2025/04/26/a...

No, I’d rather not wait a week for more #Andor. Now please. Bring it.

My first creative nonfiction, published this month in @thenewquarterly, and called 'The Last Barrel'. Guess what it's about... Why do we have a mistrust of science? How do we get to truth? Words about the story and info on how to order, found here: trentlewin.com/2025/04/13/p...

Why do people have a mistrust of science? I think I know. And I wrote about it for a special edition of @thenewquarterly.bsky.social. Lovely to be in the pages of the wonderful literary journal from my hometown! I'm looking forward to reading the other pieces.
