Imagine having 44 billion dollars and using it to buy this godforsaken website. Anyway, please buy our books so I might have a small bonus in December. If you have 44 billion dollars, you could buy almost 2 billion books from us which means you get a free tote bag.

We kicked off #gritLIT2022 Day 3 with the winners of the 2022 gritLIT Short Story Contest. Congratulations

Blocking the dead name, but still a fond memory.

Rest in peace, Anne Rice. ❤️ I met her once, and I asked her advice on writing. She told me, "Keep writing, never stop."

They not only took the time to explain how much they enjoyed the story, but also kindly informed me why they couldn't fit my story into their magazine this time around. Foglifter, you're one of the good ones. I'll definitely submit again some day. <3

I try to stick to positive things here: achievements, progressive local events, etc. But... I need to share that I received the sweetest rejection letter on a short story from

@foglifterpress

. I'm entirely serious too -- it was one of the loveliest emails I received this year.

New COVID mask goals.

Happy Halloween!

Because: 1) It'd be nice to know why they think it's okay to ask me for that unpaid labour 2) I'm not an expert on trans-ness, I just live here 3) That's reliving traumatic parts of my life Finally, I'd rather help the trans kid deal with how to cope with their struggling parent

I'm sure you've heard by now about trans people / gender non-conformists being seers and wise persons of their community in some cultures. Is that why I'm so often asked to council struggling parents of trans kids by my friends and co-workers?

Between a day job & plotting a novel, I haven't had time to read. Today, 'A Dream of a Woman' taunted me from my bookcase. I bargained to read 3 pages. It felt like 5mins later as I sat, shocked, staring at the last page of the first story.

A gross result of #HamOnt being an unaffordable housing market is that 90+% of our billboards now have competing rich realtors grinning at us wherever we go. I now have the same contempt for them as luxury car ads.

Dave Chapelle, JK Rowling, and my GRS surgeon (Marci Bowers), who I just wrote about in my memoir, delivered to me on a plate for breakfast. No wonder I woke up in a panic. Call me an ostrich or whatever, but I think I need to delete this app.
