I'm participating in @smokelong.bsky.social Summer 2025 Writing 2025 program. Got my water wings on and reading to jump in the pool!

How cool is this?

That’s me in there! My story On the Midway takes place at a carnival where the midway prizes are food items. A final game of the night promises to offer one lucky winner the chance at a better life. So what’s the harm in playing?

What defines a great writer? When they can pull at your heart by telling an entire story in exactly 100 words. Read S.C. Mills' new story in 100-Foot Crow Magazine. @100footcrow.bsky.social Tell me your thoughts. I'm lying on the forest floor myself right now.

A mini-saga of saltwater passions, who knew lobsters loved so deeply? Melanie Mulrooney knows. Read her micro-fiction and feel the heat. @melmulrooney.bsky.social

It's not just a lark. He can really write. Check out @slothandenvy.com's Galen Gower's mind-bending story "Bird Dreams of Woman."

Past is the more natural way of storytelling for me. I might use the present tense for a first person POV in a story filled with tension and suspense.

I know someone working on a story for it!

@clarkesworldmagazine.com is all class, all the time. Their writers are stellar. So many writers would love to see their stories--their own words--in Clarkesworld and their names on the cover. Google is wrong, wrong, wrong.

Yay, Morgan! A darling cover for your new book. Wonder what happens between these two? Guess we'll have to wait until September.

Nora is my alpha reader, er, snuggler.

I’m reading a story I wrote last year over one weekend for a contest. It’s terrible! But I’m going to revise it and eventually submit it.

Check it out!

Eleanor Lennox's bittersweet tale of space travel (and the reason for it) is featured in Radon Journal. Congratulations, Eleanor, on this stunning story! Check it out now!

Charlie Rogers wrote "The Jims" and you can read it here now. Flash fiction has never been so thrilling. I have goosebumps with goosebumps.

I’m using Bluesky to stay positive and promote great content. If you’re posting negative, political, angry rants, please unfollow me. I came over here for peace.

A great new 'zine to support. Great people doing great things.

Sarah Hurd’s story takes you on gossamer wings back in time. If you’re past your quarter-life crisis, you’ll love this one. The artwork is perfection.

My friend Cuyler has a story in this great magazine. Intrepidus Ink promotes characters who are fearless in the face of adversity, struggle and overcome. In a time where so many magazines focus on gloom and horror, check out this one where the intrepid succeed.

Check out This synchronized swimming.

Isn’t this beautiful and awe-inspiring? I’m inspired by the beauty. More please! What wonders of nature inspire you?

Happy publication day to me! My first work is out today in Wishbone Words online magazine. It's a narrative poem about two people who meet for coffee. One friend talks about how fabulous her life is while the other, chronically ill, debates what to share that will sound interesting. "A Rare Treat"

Is there an American equivalent and how do I get jumped in?
