Delighted to have a flash fiction, ‘Nothing as Important as Us’, published today in the Book of Matches Literary Journal: online.fliphtml5.com/qoqiq/Issue-... (p.68) Couple of swear words in it - not usually me, that! Reading the rest of it - BLIMEY. How lucky am I?! Yay! #AmWriting

Hi #amwriting folks - ANY answer gratefully received, I’m sure this’ll reach about 2 people! What’s the etiquette on posting acceptances - if you’re not specifically told not to announce, should you? I’ve had a couple and I’m new to this - thank you #writingcommunity!

Had a story on the @thenosleeppodcast.bsky.social season 24 - Where the Ripples Stop - and they did SUCH a good job with it. People seem to have liked it. Boom! So delighted! #AmWriting

There’s an inspirational piece of #writing I turn to whenever I feel like I might not be cut out for it. Let’s not forget, this is a an absolute BANGER #writingcommunity #amwriting

Delighted to have a story on this week’s @thenosleeppodcast.bsky.social - exciting! Had a few shortlistings recently - but yay! A breakthrough! It’s Father’s Day here in the UK too, so doubly nice. Maybe the kids will give me 14 minutes later to try and write something else!

Hi! Genuine question I try to make my prose as transparent as possible so as to not ‘get in the way of the story’ I’m not sure that’s right (#amwriting short stories) Any strong arguments one way or the other? I usually only reach about 30 accounts - all help appreciated!

A short while back, I was shortlisted for Cosmic Horror Monthly. Thought to myself, I probably don’t have a proper cosmic piece in the old arsenal. So started writing one but DAMN IT IF MY RATIONAL BRAIN HASN’T MADE IT ABOUT A LONELY OLD MAN AGAIN #AmWriting

I tell people I had a poem published. A proper poem, in a real book. It was about 15 years ago in a Welsh Haiku collection, collated by my late, great poetry tutor Nigel Jenkins. I tell them the poem too: Half-remembered face ahead - a sudden shared interest in cloud formation

Tell you what’s tricky - it’s absolutely right that you read the journals & magazines to which you’re submitting, but, also, you KNOW you’re going to have to submit to a fair few to get picked up. Writing stories is EXPENSIVE dude #writingcommunity

I’ll admit it - I don’t really buy too much physical media anymore - it’s a space thing, but crikey - Just got my first actual Remains journal - what an absolute beaut! #amreading #horrorwriting

Struggling with some edits The in-the-know folk seem to favour a really sparse, almost clinical style. “It’s what editors want” When I read though, I like a bit of decoration here or there. Some fluffy stuff that makes it feel like I know the writer. Normal, right?! Or naive? #amwriting

Came back to horror writing in May - had last dabbled about 15 years ago. Just picked up my second podcast acceptance in two weeks. Absolutely chuffing delighted! #AmWriting

Digging up some old stories with the intention of cutting Nightmare though - bit like when I have a ‘little bit’ of the cake I’ve told everyone I won’t eat A little bit here, a little bit there and BOOM - cake’s all gone and I’m just sitting here, belly wobbling as I laugh at those good intentions

Whacking a bit of a placeholder post here - I’ve a few short horror stories picked up & I’m trying to weasel my way into the horror writing community. I’m not a bot - but a bot would say that - I’m someone who squeezes an hour of writing in a day & need to know others do the same 🙂
