*scurries around, trip-prepping* Consider this advance notice that I'll be largely beyond the reach of wifi for a couple weeks at the start of October, so the next few days are your window to reach me for anything pressing. What that would be, I know not! But it is the window, nevertheless.

New story out today! A woman is haunted by a hermit crab who takes up residence in her dead husband's bones, gradually moving up his skeleton...out now, with @electricliterature.com !! 🦀🌊💀 Free to read here: electricliterature.com/the-bone-her...

The Bone Hermit
It’s very inconvenient that the hermit crab has taken up residence in your bones. At first it was disconcerting, to see him skittering along the beach, parading your salt-bleached toes outside our cottage. Sometimes he stops, right at the edge of the garden, and folds himself up into the crook of your remains, staring straight at the gate, watching me.

I thought I’d done a better job at hiding your body. I thought the sand and sea would wash your bones clean and sweep them away. But the sea, it seems, is resourceful. And now this tricksy little creature has come back to haunt me. Maybe he is you, reincarnated, and this is your final joke. You always did tell me you’d get the last laugh.

Good cloud day AND a vulture day <3

Gorgeous clouds backlit interestingly by the evening sun, framed by trees and a power line. Spots of blue break through borderline storm clouds.

Much the same as the last picture, but the clouds are a bit whiter and puffier. Tiny, far away turkey vultures drift on updrafts in the sunniest spot. A tall evergreen is on the right.

Toy story clouds, white and puffy against bright blue, are crashing into darker, more ominous clouds along the bottom of the picture, looking almost like a mountain range, if this was not very flat Midwestern city.

One of the things I know about writing is this: spend it all, shoot it, play it, lose it, all, right away, every time. Do not hoard what seems good for a later place in the book or for another book; give it, give it all, give it now. The impulse to save something good for a better place later is the signal to spend it now. Something more will arise for later, something better. These things fill from behind, from beneath, like well water. Similarly, the impulse to keep to yourself what you have learned is not only shameful, it is destructive. Anything you do not give freely and abundantly becomes lost to you. You open your safe and find ashes.
