My short story comes out tomorrow! Read it here at Metaphorosis!
The writing was beautiful, the way a letter from a demon had to be so you forgot about the bloodlust clawing between words.
Red fountain-pen ink skimmed across the page like a swan mid-flight.

I just got one more short story acceptance in 2023!
I’m excited about this one at Planet Scumm! As far as I can tell, there were over 550 submissions.
This story falls into the bio-punk category, which I didn’t even know was a thing until after I’d written it. 😂😂 hurray!
Hey agents! Trying out #StalkerPit. Think How to Lose the Time War meets The Good Place, but with:
⁃🏋️♂️A villain training ground
⁃🚘Drive in movies
⁃🧞♂️New spin on folklore genies
⁃🍱Sushi!
Thanks @Barron_Writer !!
Check out "The Fool Who Sings You To Your Grave" by @ReadKaCerv published in @MetaphorosisPub, a touching, melancholy story about music, death and loss. It isn't a super hero story but still does something completely new with that trope.

It’s been a crazy week and I didn’t even know about this until one of my critique partners sent me an email about it…but! I have an interview question out by Metaphorosis Magazine before my short story with them is published soon! Check it out here!!

Very excited to have a story accepted at Metaphoris!!! Can’t wait to share it! #WritingCommunity #momswritersclub #amwritingfantasy
Form rejection on a partial today. A tear and a long sigh. #WritingCommunity #amquerying #writing #writerslife
Ah yes…the end-of-month query rejection slew has begun. Two in two days. Ha! Oh well, I still have a few fulls out….fingers crossed! #WritingCommunity #amquerying #momswritersclub
Is it raining where you are? Rainy days are great for writing! #WritingCommunity #amquerying #momswritersclub #writing #writerslife

After all this time, I still want to write the word Iliad with two “L”s #writingcommunity #momswritersclub #amquerying #amwriting
Does writing in your mind while you do your day-job count? 😉

Face. Palm.
I misread an agent’s submission guidelines. They were kind enough to email me and ask me to send it the correct way. No matter what, that’s a good one out there! #amquerying #WritingCommunity #momswriterslub #Writer
Anyone else find it hard to switch between writing-brain and editing-brain?? #WritingCommunity #amquerying #writerslife #momswritersclub
A couple of my short stories are holding steady in the “not quashed yet” realm of two big-name short fiction publications!
Hang in there little stories! #amquerying #WritingCommunity #writerslife #momswritersclub #writingfiction
Oh library ebooks 😔
Two weeks is a small window to read through a 400 page book…while also life-ing! Took me 10 weeks to get it and now I have to wait another 5 to continue. Sigh. #writingcommunity #amquerying #momswritersclub
