Just finishing a great week StoryStudio Chicago completely uplifted by Megan Stielstra and a fantastic group of co-creators. So much art. So much generosity.

Oh, how this exquisite writing by Andrew Bertaina in Bodega Magazine resonates. So lovely.

Honored to have a school-centered essay addressing active shooter drills in Pithead Chapel. Thrilled to be included with these amazing writers. Grateful for the generous support of Katelyn Stewart and Brittany Terwilliger.

His wanting only made him want more. Soon it was countries, and then it was trade. The wanting infected the earth. "Rabbit Is Up to Tricks" and 12 more poems by Joy Harjo #PoemADay #TodaysPoem #IndigenousPeoplesDay siwarmayu.com siwarmayu.com/conflict-resol…

I love reading the opening of a story and knowing immediately that I can trust it. It's rare and you can recognize it by its cadence and confidence; it pulls you in close, unafraid to be scrutinized, welcoming you to lean on it every which way without fear of it breaking.

Legends! 💜

Thrilled to have a short short in the debut edition of In Short: A Journal of Flash Nonfiction! So many great pieces. This one’s about love and healing. inshortjournal.com/blair-glaser/

Starting today, we’re sharing 1 piece from our 1st issue (and what we loved about it) each day for the next 16 days! First up: “Escape Route” by Deb Fenwick We love how this one zooms in & out of a single moment in time. It grabbed us from the start⚡️inshortjournal.com/deb-fenwick/

Really happy to be included in this inaugural issue along with an amazing group of writers.

We love a list essay! Today’s featured piece is “Ten Best Shirts I Saw at the Indianapolis 500” by Rajpreet Read it here: inshortjournal.com/rajpreet-heir/

Today’s featured piece from Issue 1 is a micro called “Peeling Apples” by Mei Wen. This was one of the first pieces we accepted! We loved the objective correlative (as Ann Hood would say) of the apple and the gut-punch of the final line. Read it here: inshortjournal.com/mei-wen/

What a thrill to see my In Short: A Journal of Flash Nonfiction flash "Escape Route" included in @kathyfish's newsletter! Thanks, Kathy and Steph Liberatore, for the generous support and the ways you both uplift the flash community.
