The WriteHive 🐝 folks have been so kind and considerate, and the panelists so well spoken, that I'm telling everyone in the #WritingCommunity about this event... even though I did the scary thing and talked. 😳 All free/virtual, so it's easy to sign up! writehivecon.org

I'm not sure what I'm more uncomfortable over--how specific this scenario is, or how accurately it hits home. 😳😅

Audio is live & free to listen! @EricYangVO beautifully narrates my essay on #diaspora storytelling. Prod by @KatalinaWatt Can't thank @_aleksandrahill & khōréō magazine team enough. Scary putting yourself out there, but when you find people who *get it*, it's such a relief.🙏

Years ago, I was advised to stay in 1 genre for a successful writing career. So I crossed the streams, blew up a few dimensional gates, and had a blast instead. 😂 Grateful strangers somehow find, read, and like my stories; that's real success to me. S'mores, anyone? 😋

Issue 1.4 is now live! 🎉🧡 This is our FIRST themed issue! Haven’t subscribed? Head over to our website to buy a copy: khoreomag.com/shop If you're on the fence, check our table of contents below to see the stories and read the excerpts! Lovely cover art by Aya Ghanameh.

A long time ago, I read Amy Tan 's dedication in "The Joy Luck Club" to her mother: "You asked me once what I would remember. This is what I remember." Those words stayed with me all this time, to when I wrote this essay. I kept thinking, "I remember." So this one's for Mom.

Speaking of amazing stories and a great year, we've been quietly working on our first-ever awards eligibility list! We're incredibly proud of the work and authors we've published. Our list is up now on our website: khoreomag.com/letter/khoreo-…

Audio is LIVE! Thank you Mel Chu for their gorgeous narration, @KatalinaWatt for prod. As always, khōréō magazine @_aleksandrahill & teams were kickass to work with, 10/10 would recommend 🤗 Mom is overseas right now, and I hate to say it... but I kinda miss her pork chops. 😂

Dabbling (drabbling?) in flash fic was a super-fun exercise for my writing group, and it resulted in my first flash-fic pub! "Mother May I" is republished in Martian Magazine 's Year One anthology, linked below. Tons of great #scifi nuggets by a wide variety of authors 🤗

omgomgomg it meeeeeee😅

Truthfully, my mother inspires an embarrassingly high percentage of my stories. 😅 Filial piety runs deep even in new soil. 🙏

There are some story structures that aren’t commonly discussed in craft books or don’t get enough audience exposure. Join this panel with C.H. Hung Keir Alekseii | Updates, mostly Shilpa Agarwal to find out what those are and how we can apply them! writehivecon.org

Starting soon! Cultural Family Dynamics and How They Impact the Story with C.H. Hung Monique Danai Christopoulou | Pre-order VILE LADY VILLAINS & Keir Alekseii | Updates, mostly is about to begin. #WriteHive2022

Absolutely GOBSMACKED that one of my stories is a finalist for this year's Baen Fantasy Adventure Award. Congratulations to the finalists; I am so honored to be among you!!! 🥳🤗
