Man belated congrats on that one. Would love to write for Fallen London some day and you did SUCH a good story for them.

I always joke though my favorite writer would have been if you were able to fuse Ernest Hemingway and F. Scott Fitzgerald into a single person. But that person would probably die of an overdose after one night of existence.

(and in John Steinbeck's case: the fact he borrowed liberally from Sanora Babb's notes and left her uncredited)

I have some problematic faves when it comes to writers and those problematic faves are John Steinbeck and Ernest Hemingway, writers who were absolutely masters of their craft but it gets incredibly hard to overlook their particular personal messiness.

I'm always torn about East of Eden's Cathy Ames. On the one hand she's a rare instance of a fully realized absolute monster of a woman in fiction. On the other hand, John Steinbeck REALLY hated his ex-wife....

This #scifi by @moonsheen.bsky.social was such a treat to read over lunch! AIs exploring the world through the lens of humanity. Two stories - present and far future- weave together, and I was invested in the tragedy of one as much as the joy of the other. clarkesworldmagazine.com/singer_10_26/

I've referred to it here before but I call it being the Submissions Hydra. One rejection means I must submit two more stories elsewhere in its place. Keeps me focused.

070

Alex T Singer, Arbiter of Bagels @moonsheen.bsky.social · 03/10/2026

Part of the way I have learned to cope with the submission grind (and the inevitable rejections that come naturally with it) is to have several stories out on submission at once. I know it's not feasible for all authors, but for me at least it keeps me from getting too in my head about it all.

Alex T Singer, Arbiter of Bagels @moonsheen.bsky.social · 03/10/2026

Gussied up a new story for submission. It's like putting another kid on the school bus.
