Very excited to have my midwest weird flash fiction story, "Lilting at Windmills" out with Hell Itself! "My childhood home is built from the skeleton of a windmill. Grandpa told me that windmills used to sing. Not with a human voice, but like a finger running around the rim of a glass."

My story “Mother Moon” is in this issue. 🐍🌕 “I was born on too warm a night, egg-beaked, talon-lifted. But before the drop, before the stones far below, between those scaled toes, I glimpsed the moon, full and blazing. The first thing you see is your mother.”

Thinking about this exchange today

A YouTube video for the Water Temple in The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. The comments section has an exchange as detailed below. “@TheMrdangles16 • 11y ago:
i hate the water temple... too confusing :(“ “@KeithHalsell • 2y ago:
it's been 9 years, i hope you are doing great in life now.” “@TheMrdangles16 • 2y ago: it couldn't be going worse Keith.”

We’re going to hear about how everyone loved Dolly, and that feels true. But it’s good to remember, and to her credit, that she was attacked for her AIDS activism, her vaccine advocacy, her LGBTQ+ support and even, more recently, for her reading initiatives. She ALWAYS stood firm when it mattered.

Story rejection! Not something I celebrate, but it's worth sharing because this happens to everybody. If you've gotten a rejection lately? It doesn't mean anything about you as a writer. Keep writing, finishing, and submitting those stories.
