My perimenopause goblins short story is going to turning into something that starts with novel- and ends with at least -ette if not -la.
Took it from pad and paper to Scrivener today and cranked out 1200 words in no time.

My controversial opinion is that expecting horror to scare you does a disservice to the huge swath of things under the umbrella of horror that are dark in tone, macabre, or otherwise Gothic.

Hadn’t put pen to paper in yearly three weeks, since a few days before school started.
With everything going on in the world right now, feels like bigger win than usual.

On the 1st week of school, I told myself I hoped to make time for writing by the second week of school.
2nd week, was still catching up with other to-do’s.
3rd week, oldest kid got sick and husband had carpal tunnel surgery.
Here’s hoping the 4th week is the charm.

You know why I like Bluesky?
When I come over here, it’s all writers and dogs and artists.
When I go over to Threads, it’s all drama.

COSTS OF LIVING is out today from #whisperhousepress. If you’ve ever had a job that was simultaneously nightmarish and numbing, go get a copy and read my story “I’m Not From Here.” Read the rest and feel a sudden, despairing desire to move far away from all things suburban.

Aside from my story being in this TOC, every other author is amazing. @aimeeogdenwrites.com is a Nebula finalist, @bmorrisallen.com is the editor for @metaphorosis.com, the others all have more/bigger credits behind their names than I do. So grateful to be sharing space with such talented people.

Went to my horror book club yesterday. Our July read I already own (WHEN THE WOLF COMES HOME by @natcassidy.bsky.social ) so I’m adding it to my vacation stack for a reread.
This will be the first time I’ve ever read a book 2x in a matter of months.
