It’s generating some A+ content though
I told my boyfriend about all of this week’s literary twitter drama and he said “you’re like the Lady Whistledown of the writer world” 😭
Unfathomably massive, life critical news that 97% of people won’t know because of the cretins who own and operate the mainstream news.
(Sometimes it helps to say/write it out loud even though it does almost nothing at this point)
I moved to Maine last year and I still haven’t seen a moose wtf. I’ve been looking everywhere
I didn’t think it would happen this year because I’ve been so busy, but here we are again, it’s happening: AWP envy.
The new issue of Pithead Chapel is here and it's a good one pitheadchapel.com/volume-15-is...

One week back at work and the headaches have returned
The feedback thing is so important to stress. When I do coaching, I've talked to people who have workshopped first chapters to death, and they don't even have a finished draft yet. This very often keeps them from moving forward. No one should see your novel for a LONG TIME imo.
Our first issue of 2026 is officially live!

Instead of a new years resolution, I'm declaring 2026 the year of rest. We've done enough. Do nothing.
This is a fantastic issue of @pitheadchapel.bsky.social! Congrats to @kimmagowan.bsky.social, @karenkay.bsky.social, @brttnyblm.bsky.social, and their entire staff, and to all these talented writers.

My winter vacation starts in 2 days, in which I will be holed up in my snowy Maine cottage with an Agatha Christie novel, a warm dog on my lap, a kettle on the stove, and a crackling fire, and I CANNOT WAIT
Whenever a new issue of Pithead Chapel goes live, I email all of the contributors to let them know and to thank them for letting us publish their work, and this morning in that email subject line I spelled it Pinhead Chapel 😭😭😭

This is my favorite thing I’ve written in a long time, in which a hunter is reincarnated as the deer he just killed. Thank you so much to Chris Dankland and the X-R-A-Y team, I’m such a huge fan of X-R-A-Y!! 🥰
Congrats to the @pitheadchapel.bsky.social staff on another fine issue!

Yes! I love finding out about oddball stuff like this that I never knew existed
I wrote one short story this year (because all my writing time has been focused on my novel) and it just got picked up by X-R-A-Y. Sooo excited to see what you all think of it, it’s a weird one.
Six weeks remain to send us your best short story! Read all details here: pitheadchapel.com/larrybrown/
Today I learned about Tyromancy: the ancient practice of divination that involves telling fortunes by interpreting the omens of cheese
Please join us in congratulating our Best of the Net 2026 Nominees! Good luck everyone!

Yes waiter, I'll have a cup of tea, a scone, and if it's not too much trouble, perhaps some precedented times?
Exactly
Saying I like a show is not the same as saying it’s good. These are two different things.
