it took me 20yrs to realize Lou Barlow meant it to be Home backwards and not to make fun of emo music. this is very niche.

I was accepted into Clarion West in 2020 and I still regret not making it work, but I just can't do virtual learning, no matter how much I try. they did do an on-campus session the last year i could defer to, but financially, it was completely unfeasible and I was in grad school at the time. meh.

too many of y'all treat ADHD like some twee little quirk. this shit is debilitating, it's disruptive, it's disheartening.

this new project is coming at me in first person, yet another change to be made. at first, it was a short story that was clearly evolving into a novelette. now I'm thinking it's a novel. I'm not bitching. I love discovering what my writing demands. I've missed this. #writingsky

You know things are bad when your doctor is shocked you're still taking your cancer meds because the hospital hasn't had any in months. Then the light dawns. "Are you buying it?" Why, yes. It's not like I have a choice. I'd like to continue my treatment. Anyway, I'd appreciate any help, thanks.

the schadenfreude i feel around this whole mess. my friends, some I consider family, were hurt by this organization over and over again. but i also feel vindicated. I was told by a board member that my book was too Black to be considered for a Stroker back in '22. no one really listened. welp.

this is where I think white women reside. they believe their experiences and solutions are everyone's and when you splash a little color in there, they suddenly distance themselves by saying they can't relate. see: reading fiction. they see themselves as default.

too often, I've been ignored or walked away from when people realize I don't have the secret connection to get them published. too often, it is, in fact, a white dude asking (even demanding) that connection. or telling me to write their idea. maybe don't do that.

it wasn't until I showed my partner a picture of a real cheesesteak did I realize how local the physical appeal is. he said it looked like dog barf and I'm over here drooling.

just had the illest argument in my head after remembering a conversation I had with a white woman recently. since I refuse to talk to her anymore (though i have to be around her at times [she's the kids sorta grandmother]), I'm going to tell y'all and it has to do with adopting Black children.

got this kind review today. almost five years later, and my book is still being read and enjoyed. I really needed this. tell people how you feel about their work while they're here. you never know...

screenshot of an Instagram story featuring Flowers for the Sea. it says: This is EXACTLY WHY I READ!!! This novella was pure pleasure for my twisted little brain. Rocklyn has crafted something that feels like a fever dream whispered over dark water...a nightmare?? a dark fairy tale?? a meditation on survival?? female experience?! OMG! every page felt alive with dread, beauty, & the strange logic of dreams.

I ADORE a weird girl author, & holy shit, this delivered. The prose is lush & unsettling, the imagery haunting & the horror blooms slowly, like something beautiful& poisonous growing in the dark. It grotesque & tender. mythic & mesmerizing.

Oh! to be enchanted, disturbed, & completely transported!

i hear we're celebrating Canada today. what better way to do that than by supporting one of the coolest Canadian weird fiction indie publishers around (who also happens to be having an incredible sale on eBooks).

I'm good busy these days with projects that I'm really excited about. I'm being challenged to have the confidence to find out what I'm capable of and learning more and more that my imagination isn't broken, it's just changing yet again.

remember, kids: there are some really bad editors out there, especially ones who don't belong to or have never dealt with your demographic. fight them. keep your voice alive. you can say no.

@zinrock.bsky.social's "Baby Maker" really does feel like it could happen about two months from now (and also, I'm pretty sure, has a couple Stephen King refs in there; "elevator full of blood" feels about right).
