Reminder that this upcoming anthology also has a reprint from Rosalind's Siblings, @osahon4545.bsky.social 's "Great Things Of Which to Speak Of" which I was delighted to edit!
The rest of the lineup looks awesome too, e.g., I LOVED "Interstate Mohinis" by @emelkrishnan.bsky.social !

Apropos of nothing, if you’re a successful author by any reasonable metric of success, I urge you to be grateful for your wins and maybe take a walk outside. Don’t harass reviewers. Log off socials. Blast some Natasha Bedingfield and feel the rain on your skin. Literally. This is not a metaphor.

Been so long since I posted on socials, all my hot takes have become lukewarm, tepid. My spicy opinions have been leached of all flavor. The thoughts in my head end half-formed. I'm becoming one with the bog, a swamp crone at long last.

Been slowly dipping my toes into short fiction again, and I recently read this razor-sharp piece by Mark Galarrita in @nightmare-magazine.com that stayed with me. I loved this story about consumption, about the ones marked as others, and the one performing the othering. 🤳📵

😭 I was ready to trunk that story Effie, because it garnered a volley of form rejections across the board. If it wasn't for Apparition Lit and Premee, I wouldn't have even bothered to continue writing SFF short stories. 😭

And the @apparitionlit.com crew are some of the BEST people in SFF, bar none. I discovered this firsthand when I was invited to guest edit the Wanderlust issue. I'm so damn grateful that they trusted me, not once, but TWICE—as a writer, and then an editor. I am devastated at this news.

I'm gutted, because @apparitionlit.com and @premeemohamed.com as guest editor gave me a chance, when no other magazine did. Frankly, I wouldn't be writing and publishing short SFF if it wasn't for them. "Bride, Knife, Flaming Horse" would have never seen the light of day. This is the plain truth.

This is so wild to me, because they won. People stopped torrenting and just got streaming substitutions instead. All they needed to do was keep things the same, and they fucked it up anyway.
