I sent you a message via your website. Check on it.
We all loved it!! Great acting, cinematography, and script! I’m pretty good at puzzling out whodunits so I knew who midway into movie but still surprised by why!!
Hoping to watch tonight!!
You give all those languishing dusty, & neglected novels hope!! Congrats!! Celebrate!!
Wear it proudly!!
“She wasn’t like them. She was handblown glass, the thick kind you can barely see through. She made him feel like there was always a thunderstorm about to break.”
Just love this description!
Me thinks they thought too much. C’mon, sometimes ‘John’ is just John (who likely manifests layers of complex emotions)
To those first boyfriends who live on in our memories - exciting, steamy, dangerous! Fantastic read!! Congrats!!
"before he held you, you flipped, you slippery fish dropping thud-like into the cavity carved surgically for your release;" Beautiful CNF flash @anchalastudio.bsky.social. I love the backward story structure. I@https://www.cleavermagazine.com/before-i-held-you-by-anne-anthony/
Thank you, Claudia, for sharing. That construction grew from the flash of hundreds of memories while witnessing one moment which changed life forever.
Swept up in this one! Odd, quirky yet so compelling!! Loved it!
Your vision of taking the images from the last month of your mother's life and writing to each of them is pure heart. That's the 'something special' in your hybrid!!
You're too kind! This December issue is packed full of so many of my favorite writers. It was such a pleasure creating artwork for every single one!!
Clara checking on Joey this morning. He’s not been feeling great. Dogs know.
I ordered this issue of Sand Hills because well, I love @jaimegill.bsky.social’s writing. Read his first place story this morning — oh, good god, what a tender intense story it is!! Think about ordering your own copy. Sand Hills is a high quality, professional publication with gorgeous artwork!!
🤯
Wow. Just wow.
I bought my issue & so pleased I did! Sandhills is a high-end gorgeous publication. Your story appears prominently (as it should) on page 3 without associated artwork. Here’s a capture of the first page so you don’t need to wait all those many months to see it.
Congratulations again!!
Arrived in mail yesterday!!
That story is a stunner!
Matt just posted a bunch for you.
Definitely on the weirder side.
Check out @mattkendrick.bsky.social His feed has a ton of great flash by various amazing authors.
Ugh.
It was a Thanksgiving bounty!! A feast of words, if you will.
Here’s my one breathless paragraph written in your writing workshop & published in Cleaver!! www.cleavermagazine.com/its-a-mother...
