Just read this great story by a new friend, @emilyrinkema.bsky.social who's in my SmokeLong Quarterly workshop. It's fewer than 300 words but it really packs a punch.

Ask what they’re doing!

I'm participating in @smokelong.bsky.social Summer 2025 Writing 2025 program. Got my water wings on and reading to jump in the pool!

That’s me in there! My story On the Midway takes place at a carnival where the midway prizes are food items. A final game of the night promises to offer one lucky winner the chance at a better life. So what’s the harm in playing?

Lovely poem. Congrats!

What defines a great writer? When they can pull at your heart by telling an entire story in exactly 100 words.

Read S.C. Mills' new story in 100-Foot Crow Magazine. @100footcrow.bsky.social

Tell me your thoughts. I'm lying on the forest floor myself right now.

A mini-saga of saltwater passions, who knew lobsters loved so deeply? Melanie Mulrooney knows. Read her micro-fiction and feel the heat. @melmulrooney.bsky.social

It's not just a lark. He can really write. Check out @slothandenvy.com's Galen Gower's mind-bending story "Bird Dreams of Woman."

Past is the more natural way of storytelling for me. I might use the present tense for a first person POV in a story filled with tension and suspense.

@clarkesworldmagazine.com is all class, all the time. Their writers are stellar. So many writers would love to see their stories--their own words--in Clarkesworld and their names on the cover.

Google is wrong, wrong, wrong.

Yay, Morgan! A darling cover for your new book. Wonder what happens between these two? Guess we'll have to wait until September.

I’m reading a story I wrote last year over one weekend for a contest. It’s terrible! But I’m going to revise it and eventually submit it.

Charlie Rogers wrote "The Jims" and you can read it here now. Flash fiction has never been so thrilling. I have goosebumps with goosebumps.
