So excited to share my tender little short story that was published in Fruitslice Magazine today❀️‍πŸ”₯

β€œSynchronicities” is a story about the power of connection, the tender moments that can soothe our deepest aches, and the spark that can bring us to life again.

Image shows the title β€œWomanhood is a spectrum” (with relentless yearning on the left and unbridled rage on the right) which is a theme of my novel NASCENT about a cult of strong women with dark secrets. Themes of sapphic yearning, gender non conformity, unbridling of rage.

I’m only three chapters in but I like how it’s written. The first chapter was more interesting than the next two - they were a little bit obvious saying β€œuse punctuation” if you’ve read and written for a long time. I like that there are examples and exercises though.

writers:
there's a piece of my soul in this book and I've agonised over every word for months and yet I STILL fret about whether it's good enough

some random people:
stop overthinking it you can just use Al to churn out books - no one cares

readers:
oooh we care alright.
WE CARE.
