Meagan here. Every piece that we post at Reckon is our favorite. Every piece is exceptional. This one though. Shoo. This one took the air out of my chest; left me staring at the wall a bit. Please head over to Reckon and read "Working Title No. 6" by Nathan Willis.

And a BIG shout out to @reckonreview.bsky.social and EIC @meaganlucas.bsky.social for giving SONG OF THE CONFESSOR a home!

Walking the pup this morning I realized how nice it was to see this (made my day).

We, as writers, dig feedback - good or bad.

Knowing your story lived in another human's mind for a moment is the thrill/reward

Thanks to @stschorey.bsky.social and those who take time to read other's work. U Rock!
