I swear the “tell us why you’re unsubscribing” options (I’m too poor; I’m too stupid to use this product correctly; jk I didn’t mean to) were written by a middle school girl who grew up to be this person.

Microfiction out today in “101 Words.” This is my first published piece in over a decade, y’all. I don’t think I’ll ever truly get over the feeling of being a fraud when it comes to writing, but it’s nice every now and then to see some of my words on a page. #writersky #microfiction #101words

This is on sale at Michael’s. Whoever figured out that the customer bases for “cozy craft supplies” and “unspeakably filthy monster sex” overlap 100% is a marketing genius.

And the same girl, many years later, in her 50s: "Jane confessed that she had always felt as if she were on the wrong side of a barrier, cutting her off from the real life she was meant to be living."

"An Abduction" by Tessa Hadley offers this apt description of a 15-year-old girl: "Jane was listless, her mind a blank with vivid little jets of dissatisfaction firing off in it." #writersky #prose

Another brutal metaphor: "She had to contend with the company board of directors, who were all men, who were all accountants or indistinguishable from them, who were cautious and slow as moles." From "Kat" by Margaret Atwood #writersky

She had lived rooted in this one place and life with this one man like the black sally in the one hedge, as pliant as it is knobbed and gnarled, keeping close to the ground as it invades the darker corners of the meadows. A brutal metaphor in the short story “Sierra Leone” by John McGahern

[Pritchett] avoided endings of stories that were too pat, where there was a detail that made you go, oh that’s what it’s all about! He liked to leave you in a mood where you finish the story yourself. Paul Theroux on V.S. Pritchett
