I’m designing the inaugural Kindred booklist for the library where I work and @jessisreading.bsky.social picked Countess for inclusion. So hopefully even MORE exposure. 💃🏽

Mate, I have stories with 30 drafts of editing. (I keep drafts clearly numbered.) Somewhere in there are readers as well. But it’s never quite so clear which stage something is in until the penultimate stage—when I realize it’s ready for a polish.

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.

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!

The other day my brother wondered with a wicked gleam in his eyes when his boys would be the right age to see this movie. It’s a formative movie that way.

“Sorry to Bother You” also does it well. It absolutely does not go where you think it will go when you start it.

Alas, no they don't. It's not quite apples to apples re: literary rejections, so as of now that is not included. If I were to have enough people to do that it might be its own competition thing...

Ah, yeah, that feels very familiar. The nice thing about this project is that it kind of gets you over that hump because you see so many great writers all getting rejections!

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!
