I never thought I’d be rooting for the Catholic Church in 2026, but here I am.

“Protocol” is literary SF about a reality-jumping woman telling her daughter how to survive in case she (her mother) dies, a little over 1000 words…

I fear I’ve burned through the other markets who might have taken it. I revised the novella every few rejections—it’s much stronger now than when I sent it out at the beginning. But I can’t resend it. What presses might take a weird/speculative novella with a positive message?

E. C. Fuller @ecfuller.bsky.social · 24/05/2026

I got the best rejection of my life from a small press for my novella. Nothing but praise and assurances that it’s a great book, wrong press. I wish I had rejections like that every time! But it’s put me in a tough spot. (1/2)

If you submit three poems to a magazine, is each one a separate submission? Or, are they collectively counted as one submission?

My cat likes my new sleeping pad for bikepacking. I have a Durston tent and poles on order to replace the Amazon tent I’ve been using. I justify these purchases by telling myself that if I ever have to bug out, I will be comfortable.

My first and last jobs at my Alma mater were asking alumni for money. First, working in a call center. I was the poor undergrad who reminded you of your youth. Then in the alumni center doing research on wealthy alumni, estimating the value of their houses, salaries, spousal salaries, etc.

Have six stories pending in the slush pile, a fantasy map commission heading to the second round, seeking an editor for my sequel still, and grinding away on drafts of two novellas. My biggest hope is that all the short stories and novellas find their home this year

On average, the stories I accept have amassed 6 rejections before they're submitted to FF. (A surprising (to me) number of these were sent to FF as their first or second stop, which I appreciate, but chase that big money, folks!) Lines up pretty close to the average in the Grinder's thread! 2/

But you don’t have to feel good! You can be angry, you can be sad, you can (I’d argue you will) be anxious. Just go! Duties have to be done no matter how you feel about them. Show up to your council meetings, vote in every election you can, and go protest!

—I was BEING fake, bc I thought I didn’t care enough or in the right way. Eventually I realized that it’s better to be there in body rather than in spirit. Bc you see with your own eyes that people give a damn, and there are a lot of them! I leave protests feeling good about doing good.

E. C. Fuller @ecfuller.bsky.social · 05/07/2025

The biggest reasons I didn’t go to protests before was bc I didn’t know how to find one. Then, bc I was afraid of violence. Then bc have anyone to go with. Then bc I thought that the protest would be a trap and I’d be arrested. I was worried —

Are they using the same handle across social media accounts? Are they an individual or part of an organization? 3. If it seems legit, go to the protest. Wear good walking shoes, dress for the weather, and bring throat drops bc the chanting will make you hoarse. That’s it. Seriously.

E. C. Fuller @ecfuller.bsky.social · 05/07/2025

1. Follow your city’s subreddit, local Facebook pages or Instagram accounts 2. If a digital flyer pops up with a date and time and a protest announcement, and you can make it, check the history of the user who posted the flyer. Have they posted similar things in the past? -

E. C. Fuller @ecfuller.bsky.social · 05/07/2025

In honor of the 4th of July, I’m going to take a minute to talk about how I found and participated in my first protest. It’s probably not the best way to do it, but it did work over and over and over again. 🧵

I’m relieved to announce that I have finally wrapped up the ninth draft of my sequel and sent the manuscript off to my editor. I think I could keep chipping away at things to improve, but I feel like I’ve taken it as far as I can go on my own and need a fresh set of eyes on it.

As I get further into #pottery and #handbuilding, I’m going back to math roots to calculate dimensions, shrinkage, and geometry names. Btw, the upper body of a coffee dripper is a frustrum: a portion of a cone cut by parallel planes.
