So excited to have my flash story “Forgotten Toys” published in Daikaikuzine this month. What a nice little Christmas gift! 😆🎁

Just finished reading Cascade Failure by L M Sagas @lmsagaswrites today. If you’re in the market for a fun and fast paced space opera with great prose and engaging characters, you should 100% check it out. ✨💫🚀

Whoa, it’s December already??! Writers, did you have goals this year? How well are you doing on them as 2024 comes to a close? Personally I had many goals I didn’t quite achieve, although I managed some big ones. With the chaos this year threw at me, I’m happy with that.

Querying writers, how many passes did it take before you got a request (of any sort) from an agent? 🤔

I hate exercising. I especially hate that it actually makes me feel better after I do it.

Issue 17 comes out in November, but you can get it right now! Check out its amazing cover, featuring art by Aimee Cozza. store.smallwondersmag.com/bu…
The cover for Small Wonders Issue 17 (November 2024). A silhouette of a person, all dark except for the white pinpricks of their eyes, stands in a gray-green mist, skeletal pine trees behind them. Dark wolves stand in front of the person, similarly all black except for their white eyes, eyes that stare directly at you. The cover lists the authors and poets: C.J. Subko, Azure Arther, Gerri Leen, David Marino, Anne Liberton, Reina Hardy, Sheila Massie, Elis Montgomery, and W. L. Bolm. At the bottom is the text "cover art by Aimee Cozza" and "edited by Cislyn Smith & Stephen Granade".

Honored and excited to have a story accepted by The Colored Lens! 😆 This little story has been rejected 20 times, almost half of those Rs being after a hold… so happy it has finally found a home!

If the subscription numbers stay up, we will be increasing our fiction pay rate to 14 cents/word by the end of the year. Would have happened sooner, if a certain bookseller hadn't screwed us. We're working to pay everyone here better. No one left behind. clarkesworldmagazine.com/sub…

Just realized I can’t come up with an answer to this question myself so I turn to you, readers/writers: What is the last SFF book you read in first person POV with a female main character? I’m super curious if there’s a reason I can’t think of any. 🤔
