So Much Anxiety and Finalizing My Mythic Picnic Micros Anthology

These past two weeks have been anxiety filled. Even though I live in Japan, the prospect of another four years filled with fear and uncertainty is starting to weigh me down. There were plans to return to the US but now I just don’t know. I will be honest I don’t even know if staying in Japan would be any better.

There’s a lot for me to process so I just keep doing the writing thing and supporting and uplifting others where I can. I know that the exodus from twitter has also been affecting me. So many of my close writer friends have left. I feel like Rose on the door. Seriously. I will do my best to continue what I have down on twitter on the other platforms my friends have chosen to use for their community but I can’t guarantee that I will be as on it as I was.

I am finishing up my micros anthology. I hope to have it sent off to Mythic Picnic this weekend. It’s been fun but stressful. It is awesome to send acceptances but it is not so awesome to send rejections.

I have also had to confirm that each writer I have accepted will be staying on twitter and that was a very uncomfortable conversation for me, because I don’t want to coerce anyone to stay - everyone needs to take care of themselves, and if leaving twitter is what they need to do, then I fully support them.

I don’t feel great but I am doing my best. I guess we all are. Sending light, love and creativity to you my friends.
