I wrote about my week at the @mccormackwc.bsky.social 2026 Oregon Summer Workshop, nighttime logic, 9 a.m. readings, prom pants, and the effort required to make such a great program feel nonchalant. shawnandrewmitchell.substack.com/p/its-couth-...

How was your May? What do you want to get done in June? Are there goat droppings in your writing space?

I'm starting a Substack to keep myself accountable as I finish a short story collection. The first post is a look back at 2025 progress and setting my goals for 2026. Later I might add craft essays or thoughts like I used to do for Fiction Writers Review. Please subscribe and share!
