Best Microfiction, Fractured Longlist, Workshop Spots, and Second Acceptance

Seems by this long ass title that I had a lot going on this week… and yeah, I guess I have.

So let’s celebrate the good with Sacrament (Craft) getting into Best Microfiction 2024, making the longlist for Fractured Lit’s Anthology, and my second acceptance of the year!

I’m so happy to have gotten into BMF this time around. No matter how many nominations I get, it’s no guarantee that I will, so I am grateful that I did. Every year and every judge is different, but I just keep writing what I do and celebrate the journals and magazines that love my work and publish it and nominate it. Thank you!

I will find out next week whether I made the shortlist for Fractured’s Anthology. Let’s cross our fingers! Even if I didn’t make it in, this story will be the start and possible title piece of a new collection that I’ve been working on. So yay for that!

I also got my second acceptance of the year for a little spin on a fairy tale happy ending. It should be out in March!

And finally, I have a couple of spots open for my Flex Your Creativity Workshop! Come write and art and hang out with me! I would love to share creative space with you!

That’s been my week so far. What a banger lolz I hope that you are all well and staying safe. Sending light, love and creativity to you!
