So you’re worried about eggs? How do you feel about coffee? Breakfast isn’t getting any easier.

S. L. Coney @slconey.bsky.social · 16/01/2025

If you’re feeling a sudden lack of good authors to read, may I suggest Nghi Vo, Priya Sharma, Martha Wells, and A.C. Wise.

Just finished Dan Chaon’s “The Bees.” So disturbing and tense. So tightly woven. Highly recommended. Also, how can you not love that cover.

This is the evening that would not quit. But between emergency dog baths, unexpected laundry, dinner, and work tasks, I did manage to get an hour’s worth of writing in. Better than nothing. I’m calling it a win. Goodnight, all.

I don't think I've voiced my stance on the use of AI in creative endeavors here, so here it is. (A thread.) I deal with "imposter syndrome" everyday, both my own and other people's. But if you sit down and actually write, you're not an imposter. You become a writer by writing. That's it.

I was so bad and went to the bookstore. I grabbed some essentials. I can’t resist a new Nghi Vo plus BASS and BASFF is always required reading (Along with Best Horror which is pre-ordered.) Add in some Babitz and Didion and it’s like I hit the jackpot.

NEW VIDEO ALERT! Today on Bar Cart Bookshelf we're talking about WILD SPACES by @slconey.bsky.social. A deliciously atmospheric novella that shimmers with menace like heat over sand, soft and vanishing as sea foam. Our drink, Teach, is a briny oceanic mocktail for growing pains and sweltering heat.

If you want there to be F&SF fiction mags, we need to do something now, while Amazon is removing their support. Check out one mag's website today and support them, if you have the means. Or just RT this if you can't, because the situation is pretty dire.

based on the law where i live, i can be arrested for doing a poetry reading anywhere that isn’t exclusively 18+. i had to quit my job leading a local book club at a bookstore. i don’t think people realize how surreal things are becoming for trans people on the level of day-to-day life. crazy shit.
