Ah, ha.
I am about halfway through. The teapot has demanded i drink tea while I listen. It's very enjoyable and fair so far.

My story "Bubbe's Last Kugel" is out today! It took 13th in @tldrpress.bsky.social's Word Herd contest, and was published as part of this anthology. All proceeds go to support Trans Lifeline, so I have no qualms in telling you to go buy it (at least once, maybe a few times)!

TL;DR Press @tldrpress.bsky.social · 12d

You can find the eBook on Amazon now. Like the competition proceeds, all profits of the book will go to Trans Lifeline: a.co/d/a09dx1c

Somehow snagged a Runner-Up in @writingbattle.bsky.social this round.
Apparently judges love chaos, which is lucky because that’s all I know. 🥈

Pleased to have earned my first Honourable Mention with @elegantliterature.bsky.social this month!

“Timeless Terrors” was a fantastic theme, and I really loved the story I wrote for it.

Ah, ha. I can never resist the tea. It'll be a signature move at this rate.

I'm thrilled with the results of Furious Fiction this month. Some much-needed external validation. Funny thing is, I entered as a break, trying not to stress over every word. There’s a lesson in there somewhere, one I’ll probably fail to learn.

Ooh, look at you diving in with a daredevil already! It took me ages. Plus some hyperventilating and an 'irresponsible' amount of wine.

A mad few days. Sanity held together by wine, gin, and the unholy alliance of good friends.

But it’s in.

The chaos has been summoned. Bring snacks. And maybe a priest.
