I’ve been working on a novel for a year and vowed not to write any short stories until it’s finished. But I caved this morning and wrote a 1400-word complete first draft of a story that doesn’t suck. Feeling pretty good, all things considered (gestures to the world).

Hazel doesn’t mind the heat on a walk if it means a comfy nap later.

Hey Bluesky, could you help me signal boost my Big Cartel shop? Jeremy Creatures are designed and hand-sewed by me, and they take many hours to create. jeremycreature.bigcartel.com
Here's a lovely photo of a plethora of hand-sewn fabric art creatures. There's a watermelon creature with a red face, eight black seed-like eyes, and a wide mouth with five sharp teeth. There's a white ghost trinket bag covered with purple embroidered flowers. She has a gray face, sparkly black eyes and a little frown. There's a strawberry creature with three bulbous green eyes. There's a watermelon ghost, and a black creature with sharp teeth wearing a bulbous eye earring. There's a large purple creature with many yellow eyes and an open mouth, with a little green creature popping her head out. All the creatures are sitting on green fur and there's a galaxy print fabric in the background.

Amazing review from Independent Book Review for my fiction collection “Current Disasters” ❤️ independentbookreview.com/2025/05/26/b...

Book Review: Current Disasters by Jen McConnell
At times surreal and strange, Current Disasters by Jen McConnell deftly traces the contours of loneliness and explores how connection can help shape a life.
