I opened the box. It was a nerve wracking experience. My book is real. My achievement is real. I am powerful in so many ways. I am a freak hurricane. Less than a month to go. 🦢 🧛🏻 📕
Happy book launch day to ME ! My debut novel, Fragile Animals, takes flight 🪽 🦢
what the fuck?! I’m a published author now ???? What the FUCK !

I am so FUCCCCKING hyped to announce that my little stoner story ‘Potato Neck’ has found its place with
@xraylitmag
!!! 🌿🍃🍀🌱 that smoke will be blowing into the world some time next February so please keep your eyes peeled for my lil literary puff!!! God love X-ray!! 🦴 💀
The face of a woman at the immense peak of anxiety vs the face of a woman in flow.
thank u world for fragile animals book launch. I’m feeling vermillion.
Ruthless Little Things was the first book I ever sought out n purchased from an indie publisher - it was a gateway to the world I live in now. It was like reading the blade of a knife. Eris, thank you so much for that honour. Sending love to everyone hurting.
I got stories forthcoming in February with
@gutslutpress
and
@xraylitmag
. They're about ed sheeran and marijuana respectively. I'm freakin psyched. ʘ‿ʘ
I also got the kindest fucking rejection from
@perhappened
magazine ! It was so kind that I had to send it to my mum. I think it’s so cool that some places leave writers vibing even when they don’t accept the work. Thank you so much Perhappened 🥺🥺🥺building my courage.
How am I supposed to know what magazines are deemed unacceptable to associate with???? How can a magazine be like unfollow us if you’ve ever interacted with ‘___’ — as if whatever drama that view is founded on would be universally known??? I just want ppl to read my stories >_<
Not just my first article in a print magazine (writing about queer tree magick happening in Glasgow’s Queens Park) but ALSO my first time being INTERVIEWED for a magazine !?!!!!! 🐦⬛ 🌳 🍄 thank you
@theskinnymag

ONE MONTH until the release of my debut novel, FRAGILE ANIMALS (and by book launch at Waterstones Sauchiehall Street).
Keeping myself calm by feeding magpies in the park and clutching this sylvanian critter like a tiny talisman:
releasing a debut novel is a wild feeling - I’ve arrived at the place I pined for so deeply. I’m a sim with a completed aspiration. I’m striding that happy walk. Feel like I just Woo-Hooed.
Guys it’s official!!! The Big Issue has excellent taste 😜 thank you so much

korilakkuma and I found family annihilator to be a very earnest little book -- quiet and simplistic yet warm-blooded n tender. it's an odd one. like if animal crossing characters were writing fucked up transgressive lit? idk it's very honest. i liked it.

i would say ur gonna be so god damn sick of the Fragile Animals cover by the time the book launches - but the cover is sickening and continues to sicken
this is gonna be bitchin - Chris Kelso is a powerhouse of the Glasgow lit scene. Hyped to be part of it. Hyped to have finally published my ed sheeran hate piece
Also just like - fuckn weird to see a magazine I’ve been published by just be flat out lumped as misogynistic. Like wow. As a female writer that makes me feel... v weird... I don’t know how I’m expected to make decisions about who I’ll let back me - other than who’s willing to??
Had the absolute pleasure of reading
@saderotica
's forthcoming novel, Gag Reflex. Wrote a fumbling review about it. Basically it's beautiful. If this book were an anime woman it would be this one --
Anyway here's the review:
The Witch Craft Loves Misery reading was so cool. The amount of body horror that was read - we're some sick fuckin fucks. Thinking about tiny mutilated hands and teenage decapitations.
REMINDER!

god it's so fucking pretty and it can be in your hands so soon. I got a little poem in it! And I did all the illustrations inside! You have no idea how hard Elle and I (and everyone else) have been struggling just to let this exist.
DO NOT MISS !! Elizabeth Ellen is both an incredible writer and a woman whose initials form the cry of a dolphin ! There are your two first reasons to love her.
I am deeply pleased and powerfully spooked to tell you all that my short story, Cucked by Things, will appear in EXPVT, (aka, Expat 5), sometime this year. AKA in fuckin print!!! Thank you

So few mags pay attention to texture, aesthetic, style in the way the Body Fluids does - seeking out good art, supporting creatives at every level, refusing to use stock image thumbnails.
Perhaps the reason you have not read my new short story, Lena & Valerie (published by the ever lustful
