i'm going to write with rivers solomon (with help)!
Now that I'm coming out of this month's PMDD disaster series, I want to share great news! I've been accepted into the Roots.Wounds.Words.' 2024 Winter Online Retreat and will be studying speculative fiction under RIVERS SOLOMON!!!
You can read my first published speculative fiction piece, It's Just a Date, in one of my dream magazines: baffling magazine (you should also check out neon hemlock press and their books while you're there)!
This has been an indescribable gift (something to look forward to, something to hold on to, something in the distance to keep me from remaining stuck here), especially as I continue to apply for employment and health insurance. I'm hoping to be employed long before the end of the year (fingers crossed) and after feeling incredibly lost during and after my apprenticeship, I like to believe this is a sign I'm going in the right direction.
Thank you for being here. I hope you're well and life is kind to you for a long while.
