Let's talk about money. Writers should always get paid. Also, we need to stop pretending like having one or three jobs isn't a hell of an obstacle in terms of time & energy. The starving writer thing isn't fun. It's okay to want to get paid and sleep well knowing rent is covered.
The end is such because it's unavoidable. Tomorrow or next year or (unlikely) next century--it's pulling you, teleologically, toward itself. Have you consciously accepted that yet? How has it changed your everyday life? Will it change it at all?

2+ years since we had to unfortunately close down, we still receive submissions. It puts things into perspective. We're grateful, but saddened for not being able to fulfill such expectations.

Today I am grateful to @formercactus and @bestmicrofic for including me among such talented and beautiful work. What you’re all doing for the genre of micro fiction is truly remarkable.

So excited that my microfiction piece (nominated by @formercactus who were gracious enough to give it a home in the first place) will be in this anthology. I couldn’t be more honored to be among such talented writers in this growing genre. 💕
It's up now, the list of Best Microfiction 2019 winners as selected by @Danchaon! Congratulations to all of the contributing magazine editors! The competition was fierce! All of the writers will be getting an e-mail letter from us soon. #flashfiction bestmicrofiction.com/

If you love @katoscope's wonderful Christmas story "Star of Wonder" as much as we do (you can read it here: wp.me/p9V8I4-8h), you should check out her other great work in places like @ndrmag, @formercactus, @SynaesthesiaMag, @Cheap_Pop, and @AtticusReview. #flashfiction

My flash fiction "Misery Poker" which started in @kathyfish's Fast Flash Workshop. Issue #14 ended up being @formercactus' final issue but I am still very proud of this flash and it's placement in this magazine! formercactus.wordpress.com/2…

The only experience I had before AD-ing: reader, then guest editor for one issue of @formercactus. They were crazy enough to ask me to jump straight into the deep end. Without them, I would have never had the courage to send my CV to @Cheap_Pop (and be cool about it)

I was so pleased to have a piece published in @formercactus this year. It was one of my bucket list journals for a long time. I will miss them. Thank you again to the editors for giving this odd little tale a home. formercactus.wordpress.com/2…

Super proud of the job my son, Damon @King__Deezus did adapting my short story into a short film. This was a school project for him and potentially could be entered into festivals. Thanks again to @formercactus for publishing the story. Feedback welcome.
