Woke up to 3rd rejection from NFFD. No Flash Flood for me this yr. But I have 3 new pieces to work w, & the pride that I tried. Can't express how much rejection turned me off like a switch yrs ago. I would have been mortified. I would have felt it in my arms & legs. Now, onward!
Dreamt I lived in a house w a warehouse attached for all my old furniture. I'm taking this to mean something or someone must go.
It was silver and perfectly round. The carved designs reminded her of the elves of Middle Earth. It belonged to her. More than he ever did. Until they both disappeared. #30words30days

ICYMI Last summer I found this story in my little town of 2000 people. It was at the pool. I hope to find even more this year. reckonreview.com/the-race/
We are all trying so hard. Failing tests, getting rejected. I passed a house with long grass in the front yard this afternoon. A tiny boy w a huge backpack was running across it. He kept stumbling. I watched him fall & get up. Fall & get up. He just kept popping right back up.
I made it! Excited to share my 191-word betrayal with you in May @punk_magazine 🖤🖤

I read for a contest recently and some of the stories I thumbs-upped made the long list and a few made the short list and I feel like a proud mama! Go little stories GO!!
Had a total blast coming up with something for this! 🤞

Honored to be in @ReckonReview today with new fiction! Read The Race here ⬇️ reckonreview.com/the-race/
Just submitted two very personal stories. Feels like I packed up all the underwear I wore last week and sent it off to be examined by strangers.
My son & I used to read books together, a little at a time at bedtime. At 13, he’s too old for all that but the other day he said Mom you have to read this! He keeps asking me what part I’m on 🖤
Sifting thru old passwords I decided to peak in on a blog I abandoned. I thought I'd lost this pic, but here's me at 27, w a kid in Tabo, India who just had his pants ripped off by some other kids. Something in my heart shifted. This is the seed of my whole career.
Handed my empty fettuccine alfredo plate back to the older, smoky voiced waitress and she said “Good girl.” ☺️
Feeling pretty good lately so of course I had a very realistic & urgent dream last night telling me I am living in the wrong state & married to the wrong person.

This reminds me of something I read by Clarissa Pinkola Estés abt every woman choosing at some point whether to be bitter or not. Not bitter is a choice. Remaining open is a choice. And maybe not an easy one bc we are surrounded by the opposite.

They say write what you know but I only recently realized, fully, that that can mean write where you live. How you speak. Your own day to day. I’m so excited to share the story resulting from my realization on 4/22 at @ReckonReview!
I think I’m going to wake up every morning for the rest of my life & marvel momentarily at the deep pillow crease on my left cheek before I remember it’s just what my face looks like now 👵🏻
The sunlight through the lattice made tic-tac-toe patterns on his back as he slept. She ran her finger along his soft, bare skin. She'd be the Xs and the Os. #30words30days

I don’t want a high school reunion. I want to see Jessica from the worst waitressing job I ever had who shared a twin bed w her 2yo bc she couldn’t go back to Iowa. Elise the 36yo grandma putting herself thru nursing school by cleaning houses. I hope they’re both rocking it.

Every dog with Republican owners today.
I get so depressed sometimes but then I see videos like this and remember the world is full of amazing, adorable things. What a blessing to share the planet with so many floofy things
A man noticed that his neighbor’s cats were coming to his property to drink water so he set up a camera to see who else was drinking water...
It's like the world is trying so hard to be beautiful.
Feeling thankful for today—caught up with a friend of 35 plus years at the park after a good bit of time & met his newborn with the hypnotic sounds of pickleball in the background. Drafted a new poem & submitted to a few journals—tonight, more writing, reading, & dreaming 🌻✨♥️
This is offensive and hilarious all at once. 😭😂
This grant is for writers over 50. Look at the image.

Omg, you guys, the Jehovah's Witnesses just showed up at my door, and I guess I've been living alone for too long because I talked so much they finally had to excuse themselves.
Your yearly reminder to be patient and kind, because people learn to read at different ages
I enjoy going on Google Maps and exploring places I will never visit. I like to think that the People of Pine Bluff, Arkansas would appreciate that a bloke from Birmingham, UK has seen their Walmart & surrounding areas.

Fellow autistics (and other other neurodivergents): Do any of you feel secondhand embarrassment (watching media or videos of real interactions) so much that it’s a) physically painful or b) you run away or c) cover your eyes/ears or d) hide under your shirt?
We are gardening, we are listening to tunes on the deck, we are planning our summer bbq schedule: it is officially SPRING 🌱
Yes! Same.
I developed a regular writing practice only after I got my first secure full-time job w/ salary & benefits at age 31. Before that, the stress of trying to pay bills w/ little money made being a writer incredibly difficult. Best case scenario is finding a job where you can…

Yeah, no. This is a harmful fantasy forwarded by wealthy artists (and often dudes who didn’t care for their children). In the real world? Most people have jobs whether that be full time or a side hustle and hold onto any form of security they can so they can create art (and eat).
@Thorntonforreal Love this attitude, Lisa ❤️
My mom asked, "What are you doing this weekend?" & I told her, "My little sharky love story is publishing with @FictiveDream on Sunday," like I had a kid in a tournament or recital or something, some big event to go to. Tracks, right? Love to see this one going live tomorrow.🦈❤️🔥
