Iโ€™m teaching a class on action scenes as part of Sarah Lawrenceโ€™s Craft Weekend. If youโ€™re in the Bronxville area on October 12, come by! A ton of talented writers teaching a variety of topics.

Themes of potential and loss run through these two stories from @kristinaten.bsky.social and @davidmarinowrites.bsky.social. If Kristina's makes you cry, don't worry; David's will make you laugh. This is one of the episodes that shows what stories can do. You can still watch! youtu.be/u56vj3Cg-Ts

Head-and-shoulders color photo of author David Marino, a fair-skinned man with dark, curly/wavy hair cut short. He wears a charcoal-gray button-down with an ikat pattern in white. He stands in a sunny outdoor location of tree-lined pathsโ€”a park, perhaps?โ€”with his body almost in profile and his face in three-quarters view. He regards the camera with large, dark eyes and a shy-looking smile.

Color photo portrait of author Kristina Ten, a fair-skinned and lightly freckled woman with curly hair worn long and without bangs. She wears dark blue jeans, a darker blue button-down, two slim gold necklaces, and a gold nose ring. She sits under a dramatically branching conifer that casts dappled shadows, but the sun is strong enough to shine through her hair and show that itโ€™s a bright auburn color. Resting her elbows on her knees, her hands relaxed in front of her, she sits squared off to the camera with her head turned to three-quarters view. She gives the camera a mischievous, knowing smile.

"In his youth, The Fan experienced joy. This was his first mistake."

Absolutely SMITTEN to feature a new @davidmarinowrites.bsky.social story this week! If you've ever been The Fan (I've been The Fan), then you won't want to miss this incredible look at the cult of IP and fandom! Go get it!

Aketar - Small Wonders They call me the Dead Desert, the Barrier to Heaven, the Sands Relentless. I oblige them, decorating myself with their bones.
