I guess this is why we keep things vague. After reading through the contract, I realized the offer wasn’t what I wanted for my book. I’m back to square one. I’m incredibly disappointed, but I wish the publisher and its authors all the best. I’m still deciding on what to do next.

@AbhishekSWrites ! I loved your story, "Investigations on the Theft of Heaven," published in @outlooksprings . I laughed out loud reading this line: "However, which dune to bomb became an international debate." Excellent and hilarious, sir.

@pronounced_ing I can't pick just one... but "The Ceiling" by Kevin Brockmeier is the first one that always comes to mind.

I'm all like 👀 😱 reading @mbookin 's micro-chapbook. This line had me: "In the common house a body’s worth of wet blood whips off the blades of the ceiling fan and paints our entire home." Don't read this at night. 🗡️👻

I just read "Ghost Story" by Thirii Myo Kyaw Myint @splitlipthemag and that ending came at me like a wicked good curveball.

@ilanaslightly MUSIC OF THE GHOSTS by Vaddey Ratner made me bawl. Gorgeous, lyrical prose, paired with the tragic subject matter, left me overwhelmed. Few other novels have moved me to tears like this one.

@PintsNCupcakes This is from my story "Phoenix Fire Fight" in @ApparitionLit : "Around him, the sharp scents of the forest smack of violence: charred pine bark, the rapid melt of snow and the lingering damp, the acidic odor of smoke."
