I have a new 100-word HORROR story out today, Hanging from a Telephone Wire at Flash Phantoms. It's the fourth story on this page: www.flashphantoms.net/horror-micro...

Let me know what you think :)

Kickstart My Heart Sometimes love comes from the most unexpected situations and in the most unexpected people... Kim "kjagain" Moes tells a delightful story of a sudden girl crush... But is it more?

Seems I forgot to share this story that published in August.

Thank you Suddenly, and Without Warning for picking up my piece, "Glimmer."

Picture the enigmatic ending of 2001: A Space Odyssey. Now picture it taking place in a fucking litter box. Kim Moes delivers a playful little story about the perils of (mis)adventure. Thanks @kjagain.bsky.social !

That One Time I Had Reason to Panic what do we do?

Writing update October 31. 2023 goal #100 rejections. 135 submissions, 82 rejections, 17 acceptances.

Who would ever think I'd be hoping for more rejections 🤣

But I'm not complaining about the acceptances!

And with each rejection, I learn something about my writing and strengthen it.

Website coming soon, editing services are available now. Contact me for a quote.

Working on a website to offer my editing services. Web design is not my thing, but editing is right up my alley. From proofreading all the way to deep-dive developmental editing. Essays, novels, flash fiction, poetry, love letters. Web copy, emails, newsletters. You write it, I'll edit it.

Another one today @afterpastreview
