This is NOT a vague acceptance tweet, the hypothetical acceptance would be too secret to even mention. This is just a NORMAL tweet asking for pictures of pets or equivalent cute animals

Every single time I start writing a piece of fiction I convince myself that I forgot how to write a story and should spend two days scrolling social media to jog my memory

Got an unexpected and exciting acceptance this week but I also lost fantasy football by half a point so it’s impossible to say if things are good or bad

Just a reminder: Apex Magazine will close to submissions on December 1st and will not reopen until I am caught up on my queue. I'm incredibly behind and need a clean slate. So, if you have a story we *must* see before 2025, submit soon. Guidelines here: apex-magazine.com/submissions/

Forced myself to face my fears and try beef tartare; the universe immediately rewarded me with a surprising acceptance 😎 I need more weird food recs to brute force the manifestation of more publications

Critics are saying this book will be better than the beloved 2004 film Troy 🤔

Got my first short story publication this year. It'd been rejected 15 times before. Pro-rate and illustrated too. (I'll see you in 2 years or 10 for next one 😅)

Out for 2025: self-deprecation, adding books to your TBR you never read, mindless scrolling, trunking stories after the first rejection. In for 2025: weird queer stories, complimenting your friends, supporting your favorite magazines, yelling about what you love, logging off.
