Hi all - I have a story out in X-R-A-Y today! https://xraylitmag.com/in-loving-stranglehold-by-brecht-de-poortere/fiction/
IN LOVING STRANGLEHOLD by Brecht De Poortere

Mosi is Sprite, Banji is Coca Cola. Whoever loses, does the rounds to check for hippos that might have strayed too far.

Strange. 10 days without writing, and I already don't feel like a writer anymore...

My 14-year-old just finished reading Madame Bovary, and she agrees it's a great book. I couldn't be prouder.

For Twitter folks who are brand new to Mastodon

Few pointers from a veteran of <checks notes> 2 weeks:

1️⃣ BOOST generously: If you see a Toot you like & want others to see it, boost (RT) it. Unlike Twitter, liking it does nothing for visibility

2️⃣ HASHTAGS are important, use liberally. They're the only way to make content discoverable by search

3️⃣ Use alt-text for images/gifs for accessibility

4️⃣ Err towards content warnings - not just for obv triggering content; helps keep feeds uncluttered

I realise I haven't done an introduction yet, so here we go. Person who dreamed a long time about writing, but only started writing in the last two years. Focusing on @shortstory for now, but hoping to start a novel sometime soon.

A question for those who understand this site: is there an easy way of following people on other servers?

For any writers or magazines that are interested, I've created a Guppe group for sharing recently published short stories: @shortstory . If you tag that group, it'll share with anyone who follows the group.
