I had two publications in June 2025, but one of them was a BIG one for me! My story, “Last Dam Standing,” appeared in the July/August 2025 issue of Analog Science Fiction & Fact, which is available now! Analog has long been on my list of markets to which I’d love to sell something, so I was […]

Time for more weird history to inspire your writing or maybe just pique your curiosity! We’re starting this month’s weird history with The History Place, for historical events for every day of the month. Not all of them are strange, but there are certain to be gems hidden amongst the events! The History Channel has […]

Reading: Books for reviews, at the moment. I’ve got a few other things I’d like to crack open, but I’m sort of barely keeping up with other reading right now. Watching: Our latest “must watch” is Murderbot, of course, which we’re really loving! It’s a bit different from the books (I’ve only heard the first book, […]

May has absolutely flown by, and here we are at the edge of June! For this month’s prompts, I took column 1 from @solarwings junicorn art challenge. While the idea of Junicorn is unicorn themed, I thought this year’s prompts were nicely evocative of speculative fiction ideas, whether you include a unicorn or not. This […]

Reading: Mostly books to review! Watching: The first half of Bridgerton season 3 has been our main TV show, parceled out slowly so as to have enough to get to the second half of the season (which drops tomorrow!). I’ve also been watching some of the panels I couldn’t make this past weekend from WriteHive and […]

Where does the time go? It’s time for the June 2024 writing prompts! The words in the first column this month are from Kick in the Creatives. I’ve shortened a couple into single-word prompts, but I left a few of them longer, as those felt more evocative with the entire prompt. (As always, you can […]

I had one poem published in June 2023, “Beneath an Unknown Sky,” which appears in the Summer Solstice issue of Eternal Haunted Summer. Their theme for this issue involved genesis and creation, and my poem touches a little on both of those, as a tree nurtures life both within its branches and beneath its roots. You […]

Reading: Books for review, mostly, and books for the essays for Unfixed Timelines 3. But I’ve also just gotten The Anti-Planner, which is mostly not for reading, but I occasionally read through a few of the exercises to see what might be useful to me at that time or in the future. And I’m trying […]
