My Growing Boy - Thin Skin Baby’s father slips from bed at seven, dons a clean blue button-down that highlights his eyes. Tangled in sheets in a pale nightgown, I stink of milk, Baby Boy belly-down on me, chests rising and fall...

Thank you, Epater Lit magazine, for publishing my story, “Maybelle in the Middle”. Nice to see it on white-on-black background! I wrote this story to help me process the death of a best friend five years ago.

Hi Shannon! Good to see you here. I just now saw this. I’m at nicolebrogdon@hotmail.com. More soon.

Old and new friends @nbrogdonwrites.bsky.social @chiphouser.bsky.social @tom1walsh.bsky.social at the amazing retreat in the Rockies led by @kathyfish.bsky.social and Nancy Stohlman. Great combo of playing, going deep, and going weird with our writing. Beautiful bonding with everyone.

I took another of @kathyfish.bsky.social enriching 90 mins classes yesterday—fr 3-in-90 flash fic classes—good price point, when u sign up for packet of 3—on creative revision ideas. Surprising, fresh, do-able, write-in-class and leave inspired! I recommend highly!

TODAY at 1:00 pm Eastern! Thanks to all who signed up! Be sure to locate your email with session link (sometimes they go to spam/promotions). Let me know if you're not seeing it. See you SOON! 💙💙💙

Oh, wow! Cole, Thank you for engaging in the world of my story, set in Bastrop, Texas. And placed in Susurrus Mag.

It’s really hard for me to post here, to focus here, on flash fiction, when parts of this country are burning. Kudos to anyone who’s fighting the good fight. And practicing any art form, speaking and expressing truth & soul.

I have a gritty southern story, “Dead Daddies”, in the lovely new issue of @susurrusmag.bsky.social. Thank you to the editors for such good editorial care. I’d be honored if you’d read my story. Thank you! www.susurrusthemagazine.com/dead-daddies

Pleased with my Fictive Dream & editor Laura Black for their fine treatment of my recent surreal story, “Some Good News About Jesus”. Thank you! Feels good to take some risks when I write. Please read.
