See my micro story, “This is the Street Where My Body Lives”, in the fine @CincinnReview Cincinnati Review. Themes of mind-body split, divorce, heartbreak, opposites attract, life-is-dull-without-sensuality, etc. I’m very jazzed about this one!

Still chiseling miniatures, learning more about beginning-middle-end. @100wordstory accepted another of mine, titled, “Past midnight, the chicken falls on her from above.” Than you to them!

Thank you, Fictive Dream, for accepting my micro story, “We moved to the country for the quiet, but”. It’s a pleasure to work with this fine lit magazine and their editor Laura.

Wowed by this highly inventive story by @emilyrinkema, @ Flight lit magazine. “We’ve only used this once, when Mom showed up at my apartment with a bottle of bottom shelf gin and a male hooker named Jeff….” Loving speculative layer + sister layer. flight-literary.ghost.io/emily-rinkema-…
