So many fantastic stories in this issue. I am especially obsessed with @parkeriswriting.bsky.social 's flash "right here, on this spot" and how exploring the past of one place serves as an exploration of self.

Favorite from this set is “Puddlejumping” by @parkeriswriting.bsky.social, which sets the tone with a strong opening and delivers a heart-wrenching personal tale with just the right kind of ending

They quoted me in this New Yorker piece about AI today. www.newyorker.com/culture/the-...

“Let’s say there’s a world or time line I exist in where A.I. has been subject to regulation. It is ethical. It has no footprint environmentally,” the novelist Jeff VanderMeer, a prominent critic of A.I., told me over the phone. “With those guardrails in place, would I read an A.I. book? All I can say is no. And the reason is, in part, because I want to read something coming from a particular mind.” Using A.I., he said, “feels like a betrayal of the whole point of why you’re a writer.”

Publication day! 🥳🎉🙌 My collection "After You Were Lost" was published by WATG Press today. It's a collection that means a lot to me, and I'm excited that people will finally get to read it. All of the 23 flash and micro stories within deal with grief in different ways. Something I know much about.

The first thing Eli ever said to me (way back in fourth grade gym class) was “someday I’m going to write When the Sun Hits: The High-Volume History of Shoegaze”. I didn’t fully grasp what he meant at the time. but now that preorders for that exact book are available, it all makes sense 😌
