Very excited to share that my story "Wish, Wish" will be a part of the COMMON BONDS 2 anthology! 🎉 It's the last story I wrote as part of this summer's @clarionwest.bsky.social flash fiction groups, and somehow the most uplifting 🥹

Earlier this year, Dr. Jane Goodall sat down for an interview for Brad Falchuk’s new Netflix series, Famous Last Words. The premise of the series is to interview people on the condition that the interview not air until the subject has passed away.

Yesss let me know what you think! I was pretty blown away by the style--it took me back to writers of my childhood.

Thank *you* for writing a novel with such beautiful prose and interiority!

#BookFilmPairing rec of the day: The Bear and the Nightingale by #KatherineArden, The Bird King by @gwillow.me, and Conclave (dir. Edward Berger) Both novels feature extremely frightening villains that, like Cardinal Lawrence, invite you to examine the relationship between faith and doubt.

I know some writers hate revising. But let me make a case for the feeling of polishing your prose like a diamond until 3am. Monastic or ecstatic? I have never found it easier to enter a flow state. It always starts with, “I’ll just give this another 15 minutes…” 💎

Lisobel Tang @lisobeltang.bsky.social · 24/03/2025

Thank you, I am quite confident I will! Sometimes you just know from the opening 💜 Looking forward to your other recommendations 😊
