Seriously contemplating buying an enamel pin of Fran circa the nanny, but it's nearly thirty dollars

Mykki Rios @mykkirioswrites.bsky.social · 18/09/2026

Thinking about posting on here more bc literary Twitter is a weird amount of drama sometimes Like I just want to create and share, I have zero interest in feuds

Should I put something about using my drag name as my handle on every other social platform in my bio? I know I should make things more uniform but idk I don't think of my drag or makeup as separate from my writing or anything else, that's not really my approach. I'll think on it idk.

Oh look that's me! I forgot to promote this on here, but please read, I'm so proud of this poem

Thank you to Tampa Review for my first ever Pushcart Prize nomination! It's an honor to have my poem 'I dream of trying on wedding dresses' rubbing elbows with so much other great art #writing #writingcommunity

For the first time in a long time I am back on top of poetry submissions and it feels great. Now to work on my most ambitious short story yet to submit to a certain publication in January!

Mykki Rios @mykkirioswrites.bsky.social · 01/10/2025

You can now read two of my favorite poems from my time living in Colorado, 'PLENTY' and 'PYRE'! One is very grounded in daydreaming, and one is very unstable from nighttime dreaming. Thank you to Dodging the Rain for having me.

I'll post a picture later but my copy of @justfemmeanddandy.bsky.social Just Femme and Dandy Mixtape came in the mail today! So cool to have my poems about lip gloss printed in a very chic deconstructed zine format, I love having a physical record of my work

I highly recommend having a former English teacher as your therapist if you're a poet. It's so nice when they have insight into both your personal and creative issues.

Mykki Rios @mykkirioswrites.bsky.social · 09/06/2025

You can read my poem 'I DREAM OF TRYING ON WEDDING DRESSES...' in issue 69 of Tampa Review and I hope you do. Look at that gorgeous cover art. Happy Pride have some very gender fluid writing! utampapress.org/product/tamp...

I've always felt like I need to say I'm really excited about my upcoming work being published and I always am on some level but lately I've been feeling like some really hard won accomplishments that I love with all of me are blooming around me and I'm buzzing to share

Mykki Rios @mykkirioswrites.bsky.social · 08/05/2025

I forgot to post here yesterday but you can read my poem 'AUCTION HOUSE' on @havehashad.com website, please check it out! This is a dream publication for me to be working with, I'm so grateful

Generally speaking I think it's better to write and figure out where you want to end up but I will admit I thought about my first creative nonfiction essay that I'm going to submit tomorrow for so long it sprang from my head like Athena from Zeus

Mykki Rios @mykkirioswrites.bsky.social · 11/04/2025

New job training is crazy, but I'm 10 for 10 on daily poems for National Poetry Writing Month, and I'm going to write a scene for my fiction project this weekend, and draft an essay in the next ten days, and there's other stuff to come, and I guess what I'm saying is nothing will stop me

000

Mykki Rios @mykkirioswrites.bsky.social · 06/04/2025

Six days into national poetry writing month and finally a new first draft I feel went somewhere fun (I'm trying for one per day, we'll see with new job starting tomorrow)

Mykki Rios @mykkirioswrites.bsky.social · 04/04/2025

Officially got confirmation in the night that my first short story is going to be published! I'm a fiction writer now, this is so wild and wonderful

Mykki Rios @mykkirioswrites.bsky.social · 29/03/2025

Heard back (it was a no) about a submission I had sent in so long ago I'd forgotten what was in the packet, opened the packet on my laptop, and involuntarily murmured "fuck you, these are great" anyways I stand by my work lmao

Mykki Rios @mykkirioswrites.bsky.social · 29/03/2025

Freezing rainstorm today, it has been perfect weather to listen to the new Lucy Dacus

Mykki Rios @mykkirioswrites.bsky.social · 27/03/2025

New day job acquired, two publishing acceptances in one day, I am relishing victory. One of those poems I've submitted more than five places previously. Never give up.

010

Mykki Rios @mykkirioswrites.bsky.social · 20/03/2025

Six hours and some back and neck pains later I have screeched and wailed and clawed my way to being once again on top of my #poetry submissions and we're just going to ignore the #essay that is looming for me to write I have like a month exactly ok

Mykki Rios @mykkirioswrites.bsky.social · 19/03/2025

New Weatherday album is perfect end of winter #music

Mykki Rios @mykkirioswrites.bsky.social · 16/03/2025

I had a writing professor in college who said most new writers worry what they have to say is "too weird" or "too boring", which I think is true. However, I've realized I've unlocked a new fear recently, being "too pretentious", which somehow feels like both of the previous options at once. Fun!

Mykki Rios @mykkirioswrites.bsky.social · 14/03/2025

Putting some time aside tonight to listen to new Playboi Carti and read more Charles Simic

Mykki Rios @mykkirioswrites.bsky.social · 07/03/2025

There's something lightly surreal and nostalgic about Lady Gaga and Panda Bear releasing new (actually good) albums at the same time again, feels like I'm in college

Mykki Rios @mykkirioswrites.bsky.social · 05/03/2025

2 very kind tiered rejections from journals today, but I still feel like crying. I hate how much of this year has been almost being good enough.

000

Mykki Rios @mykkirioswrites.bsky.social · 03/03/2025

I haven't been posting much bc the seasonal depression is mighty and I haven't had any good news to share but I think I should maybe just thought drop again and not assume people are only interested in me or my art when I'm succeeding bc what does that even mean in the end

010

Mykki Rios @mykkirioswrites.bsky.social · 03/03/2025

Insomnia and then finally getting a few hours of half sleep means I missed the spontaneous HAD call and woke up to a rejection from a different publication. This is not the energy I wanted to start the week with.

000

Mykki Rios @mykkirioswrites.bsky.social · 11/02/2025

I've been taking it easy on social media because the world is a lot right now, but I want to say re major platforms removing various pride and history months from the calendar: we don't need them, never did. Corporate sponsors aren't what started these ideas and won't end them.

First #poetry acceptance in 2025 today and successfully made pizza from scratch I'm feeling so good right now

Mykki Rios @mykkirioswrites.bsky.social · 29/01/2025

Finally sat down, ignored my phone, and watched Past Lives, one of the most beautiful #movies I've seen in a long time

Mykki Rios @mykkirioswrites.bsky.social · 27/01/2025

I made the long list for a Frontier competition I entered ages ago, and it's not the win or acceptance I want, but it is encouraging all the same

Mykki Rios @mykkirioswrites.bsky.social · 24/01/2025

New Mallrat songs are so good, it's like Brat by way of trip hop but in no way derivative, can't wait for the album #music

Mykki Rios @mykkirioswrites.bsky.social · 18/01/2025

I have been cooking and baking more and it feels really nice to be getting back into it as something I take joy in. Hope everybody is having a good weekend.

Mykki Rios @mykkirioswrites.bsky.social · 12/01/2025

The new Cameron Winter album absolutely broke my heart open after the slump I've been in. Walking towards spring music.

Mykki Rios @mykkirioswrites.bsky.social · 10/01/2025

I wrote a weird poem today inspired by fairytale motifs and a very specific cake

Mykki Rios @mykkirioswrites.bsky.social · 03/01/2025

Wrote my first poem of 2025! Also I think this is my first post here this year, hello

Mykki Rios @mykkirioswrites.bsky.social · 29/12/2024

Wicked is the best musical movie adaptation in many years, I found it delectable, and it deserves all its flowers, especially for costuming and makeup and choreo, also all the performances were right on the money

Mykki Rios @mykkirioswrites.bsky.social · 16/12/2024

Went to a writing group with my mama on Friday and got a new ekphrastic poem out of free writing in an art museum. So grateful creativity can happen anywhere and anytime.

Mykki Rios @mykkirioswrites.bsky.social · 15/12/2024

Did all my #writing submissions (for the moment) today because my brother and his gf are in town for a few days starting tonight, please clap
