A true delight discussing Shakespearean succession dramas at @armadillocon.bsky.social on Friday evening with @cshumble.bsky.social , Patrice Sarath, and Paul Weimer! A fascinating talk about power dynamics and character-driven stories.

I read this short story this morning. It's bleak and disturbing, and I loved it. Like all stories by @cshumble.bsky.social. 💙📚 open.substack.com/pub/cshumble...

Over the last weeks I've been editing a manuscript. I hate the editing part of the job. It is uncomfortable, brings into focus all the inadequacies and failed compositional mechanics that read so well in the initial draft, but in review, fail to match the sweetness of the well water of the rest.
