I wrote a weird little story. Weird Lit Magazine was like, "okay, we'll take it." Read my horror story, "The Lake Holds No Light" out now in this lovely little issue.

Me, at home alone—for absolutely no fucking reason: What if a hand just reached out from under the bed and grabbed my ankle? Me, at home, jumping into bed like a 7 year old.

I'm a digital magpie saving little jewels to share with my writing students. Years ago I took a screenshot of this tweet. @katedollarhyde.bsky.social, was this you? I'd love to get a high resolution credited version, if you still have it. I tried using words to make the point; the chart is better!

A year ago today, I lost my cat Blue. She was my soul pet, and I miss her, still.

My dreams are either I’m at work voting with my team about where to eat lunch, or I’m crawling through caves to leap-stab a pitchfork through chest of the dark witch to pierce her heart and save us all.

Pretzel stays in bed with me all night and soon as I get out of bed she goes back to bed to sleep hard with a lort-I’m-tired energy that I find kind of rude.

A periodic reminder that if you can't afford a book the library does buy books, and sometimes we even buy hundreds of copies of one book. Checking out books from your local library supports authors, which means they get paid and can write more great books!

For real, @tbq.bsky.social saw this story and said, "we got you, fam!" And not only published it, but championed it. Viva el TBQ!

Have we made any headway in answering the greatest multiverse question of our lifetime: Is it possible for a version of our universe to exist where the _only_ difference is that we have hot dog fingers? Wouldn't their existence mandate a different way of building all conveniences of modern life?

July was our slowest rejection month, but in good news many of our participating writers are definitely representing in nomination and award season!

Sometimes, I don’t go to bed on time because the read-before-sleep book I’m reading is too intense and so I avoid it AND sleep.

One of my first posts has to be about the amazing numbers coming out of the 2023 Rejection Competition. Huzzah to BEE LB and Jake Dennis who have held their leads for six months.
