Thank you a thousand times to @JellyfishReview for giving this story the home it needed. I’m terrified/ecstatic to share it. twitter.com/jellyfishrevie…

@maddieanthes @JessicaLyleEd @anniefrazzr @kbcarle Late to the party, but yes, I kept it. Here’s an excerpt:

@JessicaLyleEd @anniefrazzr @kbcarle Haha oh man this was 2 years ago or so (did you keep it @LifeOfAnEditrix?)

Lit mag editors! @kbcarle & I are finishing up our submissions lecture & we want to hear from you again! • What do you think writers *must do* when submitting? • What should they *never do*? • What issues in a submitted piece most often lead to rejection? Thanks so much!

@Emma_Sloley @theinnerzone @goftyler @YemasseeJournal OMG I just saw this now! Thank you so much!!!

Finally getting to my pile of literary journals, and I adore the stories by @theinnerzone, @goftyler and @LifeOfAnEditrix in @YemasseeJournal Issue 18 - such distinct voices and vivid worlds. what a great time to be alive with all this literary talent everywhere 🔥📚

@maddieanthes ...I said “I love us.” Do you need a hug?

@LifeOfAnEditrix WHAT DO YOU MEAN WE NEVER DO THIS (we are doing this right now)

Are we even friends if we don't communicate via text, FB messenger, twitter DM, and instagram all at once and seamlessly switch between each mode?

@DanieShokoohi Yay! Have fun!!

@HypertrophicLit @loki_writes Gorgeous as always, Cathy ❤️

Another stunner from the very talented @loki_writes

Did not consider that the hundreds of people who were inside had gotten there after waiting in line for an hour just to wait in more lines for more hours to get their first coffee of the day at about 1pm and were thus very angry and undercaffeinated.

Turns out it’s a bad idea to bring a baby in a stroller to a coffee festival. Who’d have thought?

@katoscope That’s still good! I’ll remember this.

@katoscope Whaaaat?! Including lenses??

@allanacreative1 @Embassy_HSV I did, but it got really wet because the counter was wet and the sink dripped on it, and Ro’s head was hanging off into the sink.

@LifeOfAnEditrix @Embassy_HSV And hopefully you had a pad to lay the baby on! Ew!

Shoutout to @Embassy_HSV for not only not having a baby changing station even in the women’s bathroom, but also not having any soap! Loved having to change my 2-mo-old on the 5 inches of counter between sinks and then not being able to wash my hands. 👍

@haley_exe @catrachxs @HypertrophicLit 😍😭

@catrachxs @HypertrophicLit published my very first ever poems! I sent three, @LifeOfAnEditrix let me know they'd accepted one and then **asked if I had more** for them to consider. That remains the loveliest thing an editor has ever done for me.

@popshotmag was enormously kind and encouraging when I sent them a very emotional piece, and even emailed me about how much they loved it before they had voted on it. A total dream chain of communication from a dream magazine.

@katoscope K but really I’m still thinking about it.

Seriously though, why doesn’t Bruce Banner have stretch marks? and other useless things I think about postpartum.

@aliner @akmiska One who laughs at penis jokes for sure.

@LifeOfAnEditrix @akmiska Lynsey! What kind of mother ARE you? :)

@aliner @akmiska Yeah I need in on this because I have no idea either.

@akmiska What does it mean?

A very old man just followed me to a gas station to yell at me about how inconsiderate I was to pass his slow ass and signal while doing so, so my day is going great so far because I got to unleash some of my rage on that fool.
