First meeting with the @clarionwest.bsky.social Novel Writing Workshop, and I'm still buzzing! @drkarenlord.bsky.social talked about her conceptual framework and introduced us to the sociological imagination. Looking forward to uncovering my own conceptual framework.

Thank you! 😊

Me too, Lia! I read “Assembly Line” in Fusion Fragment. You write beautifully. My friend Anselma Prihandita also has a story in that issue

Ecstatic! @clarionwest.bsky.social accepted me into the 2026 Novel Writing Workshop! Excited to spend 9 months working on my novel with the talented @drkarenlord.bsky.social and the rest of my cohort.

You’re welcome!

Wonderful new story by P.A. Cornell. Who manages to successfully weave two POVs into a flash story. I loved the way this ended 💛

Congratulations, Josh! 🎉
