Prism & PenMy name is Rachel and I write.
I present to you March 2026’s random musings from a #queer #transgender writer with a lot of nothing going on in her life except self-doubt and sunshine.

Even after everything I’ve experienced, everything I’ve lived through, everything I’ve learned about how these moments work. There’s a part of me that wants to step in, correct the record, dismantle the logic, expose the contradictions, hold up a mirror and say: Do you fucking hear yourself?

Goal, Motivation, Conflict, and Stakes for Fiction Writers
With a strong grasp of GMC&S–goal, motivation, conflict, and stakes–you can sharpen your story and energize your process at any stage, from initial idea generation to revision. Join us for four weeks (one for each concept) to explore and experiment with this cornerstone tool for fiction writers. Why dive deeper into GMC&S? This framework can help writers escape overwhelm, get unstuck, connect you (and readers) with characters, figure out a story's shape, define its plot, find new entry points into projects even if you're not a "planner," and solve pacing and tension problems at the level of the whole story or within individual scenes. It's also fun! Fiction writers at all levels, and folks at any stage of the writing process, are welcome. Expect a mix of lecture and opportunities to write, dream, discuss, ask questions, and share ideas. All classes listed on the Loft website take place in Central Time.

Frey HGAnyone got advice on submitting science fiction and fantasy short stories?
The breadth of the potential magazines to submit to is a bit intimidating and which to prioritise when most don't allow simultaneous submissions is a bit daunting.
Short story titles I've written/writing/planned with no context
-A Little to the West
-Today there will be Light Drizzle
-Gifts from the Earthlings
-The Bad Place
-A night with the molemen
-Honour Thy Mother
-War 7333
-No War but Character Class War
Because why would I want to place my notebook in a comfortable position to write?
