I've opened a Hermit Crab Flash FIction Workshop online session for 10/18! You’ll write three flash using found forms (aka the hermit crab, because you’re “borrowing” a familiar form). Everyone will receive feedback on their work. Join us! 1-5pm ET $80 www.cherylpappas.net/events

Got a very cute rejection today🥰: We can't be the house for it but what if you tried this other one next door instead? Very sweet.

which literary magazines publish video recordings? #writingcommunity I'm thinking of a staged opera, monologue or play.

My pet peeve: magazines that don't list a place to "submit" on their website. You're better than that, come on >.<

Which literary magazine would be open to creative nonfiction blended w pop culture? A recent concert maybe? It's not something usually write so I am not sure... #writingcommunity

When your profession is reliant on word but you forget them sometimes (texts between my husband and I):

Text messages read:
A:Also buy the thing that’s needed for breadmaking
The thingy The thing that makes it puff
B: yeast?
A: yes

Went to a Sara Bareilles concert tonight. Was moved to tears and inspired and loved, and reminded of the power of the art. To see another artist make space for grief and healing like that was so reuniting. (also made me make a big life decision!)

A small good thing: I've started cutting up cardboard that goes into our recycling to small little "sticky note" sized pieces. Good for writing grocery lists!

A good thing: Someone had put a bunch of art supplies by the side of the road to be grabbed for free. their trash, my treasure.

Sometimes I feel like Flash Fiction is seen/misunderstood as a solely plot-driven piece of prose which closes the door to experimentation and blending it with poetry. I wonder sometimes had Lydia Davis been submitting her work today, whether it would have been dismissed by the same expectation.

With how much of our interactions are via messages, sometimes I forget how awkward and clunky in-person interactions can be. They're not edited. There are distractions miscommunication, uncertainty, silences, and missed signals/social cues. May we remember this and be a little kinder to ourselves.

I wonder what impression the first books I borrowed from the local library, gave the librarian. The Opposite of Loneliness How to Have a Good Day the first one has nothing to do w loneliness and the other, is more about productivity. But I hear her thinking “are you ok?” :))

In memory of Kendra Preston Leonard, I share links to two of her art songs. If you're interested in performing them, please feel free to do so. I have written permission from @kleonardphd.bsky.social to share it with anyone who might be interested. drive.google.com/drive/folder...

I attach the score of two of @kleonardphd.bsky.social 's art songs here. She'd given me permission in sharing it with anyone who might be interested in performing them. May her works and her memory live on.

I’d never had as supportive of a mentor until I took libretti classes with @kleonardphd.bsky.social. Knowing she was in my life and that she’s have my back was such a gift. I’m sad and in disbelief that she’s gone. Her generosity and activism was something to look up to. May her works live on.
