Thrilled to share this first published work from my universe of demon-lover stories! 🐉🍅💥 As a disabled parent, "Marriage is Convergence" is extreme personal to me; it could have been written in my own blood. But nothing in this story is autobiographical except for the dueling top-volume iPads.
It was also fun for me to dig out my current stories - 2 forthcoming this year, 2 in submissions - and evaluate their 😈🪝✨
I so loved this practical tour of problematic opening paragraphs in short story submissions, from @devonhalliday.bsky.social - for sure, reading unsolicited submissions is a fast (and sometimes painful) education on what works and what doesn't!

Finally someone's talking about this pet issue of mine 😤 it's not traffic calming if 80% of vehicles just swerve into the bike lane to avoid overly tall cushions
I just had the same thought while reading the article!
❤️❤️❤️
Thanks for these notes, I'm in an era of passionately reading short stories right now as well, and I'm really enjoying your remarks!
thank you!! writing fiction has been a secret flame for me over the past year, now unleashing a story into the world feels like holding hands with my crush in public 🥰
