Old and new friends @nbrogdonwrites.bsky.social @chiphouser.bsky.social @tom1walsh.bsky.social at the amazing retreat in the Rockies led by @kathyfish.bsky.social and Nancy Stohlman. Great combo of playing, going deep, and going weird with our writing. Beautiful bonding with everyone.

It’s really hard for me to post here, to focus here, on flash fiction, when parts of this country are burning. Kudos to anyone who’s fighting the good fight. And practicing any art form, speaking and expressing truth & soul.
