Is the new McCarthy novel completely absurd and inaccessible or am I missing something? I adore McCarthy. But I am nearly halfway through and s t r u g g l i n g. #amreading #CormacMcCarthy #bookstodon

This #FlashFiction #Story is called The Boy Who Carried Fire and is the first thing I ever had published.

I would absolutely love to read and boost.

@emanderson I loved this story. You make panic and blackholes so palpable. The last paragraph, too, the last line: perfect.

1 year ago I was not a #cat person. At all. Today I put down a blanket on my lap so my man Ziggy will be comfy because it's chilly and he likes to sleep in my lap while I work. It's been a journey but goddam I love this fluffy little weirdo.

Ways to help a writer:
-buy their book
-review their book
-construct a diorama based off a scene in their book
-juggle copies of their book at a haunted circus
-feed their book to a cosmic bookworm with a billion teeth
-read their book aloud to a basement of faceless mannequins

Hello! I'm new here so I figured I should do an #introduction

I'm Ann, a short story writer and amateur woodworker. My stories have appeared in Clarkesworld, Escape Pod, Fireside, Apparition Lit, and Mermaids Monthly, and other places. I write about culinary adventures, queer yearning, and a smidge of body horror/joy. I attended Viable Paradise in 2019.

I've got a huge fluffy great pyrenees dog, a small garden, and a kitchen that's just the right size.

How many #writers out there also have full time 9-5ish non-writing jobs? I'd love to connect with some of you and talk about your process on writing, networking, submitting, staying sane and present in your daily life, etc. 🙃

For the first time in a long time, I'm exploring unique forms of structure in my #FlashFiction. It's resulting some ideas I'm pretty excited about. Anyone out there have a favorite #MicroFiction or flash piece that uses form and structure in really unique or impactful ways?

Sometimes I forget why #RayBradbury was my first literary love. And then I reread a favorite and fall in love all over again. #reading #amreading #horror
