Oh, the eggs. While eggs seem to pop up in flash and micro now and then, this one will stick.

Superstars and super humans, as is @kiklodge.bsky.social who tagged me first and, I figured, was out of the running. Maybe I’ve lived in a rule-abiding culture too long…

Lovely idea. Here goes (since I can't tag someone who tagged me 😉): @nancyfreund.bsky.social @yallaalia.bsky.social @meredithwadley.bsky.social

Awww, splendid right back at you ❤️ Thank you!

"In Renaissance Venice, women bleached their hair with horse urine and lemon juice, lying on sun-soaked roofs. Blonde, they believed, was closer to the divine. The sting, the smell, the heat."

Gripping piece here from @yallaalia.bsky.social

Time for another coupe!

I'm thinking it's better to celebrate now in case it's the end of the road. Thank you, @smokelong.bsky.social. And writers both on and not on the list? Let's keep writing, of course.

The #Trouble issue is out, and it's a good one.

🤓 Thank you

Or evolve - though embrace is probably more straightforward!

Embrace Your Beady Eye?! Sounds like a good course :)

'I fight a twin urge to comfort the kid and stick that bloody pin in the Botox Babe’s fat lip, imagining it releasing air like a deflating balloon, squealing and whining as it collapses.'

Thanks so much for the encouragement from afar!

Thank you so much, @fictivedream.bsky.social, for the honor - and for believing in this story to begin with.

For those across the Atlantic, a better value and probably more enjoyable than dinner out :)

If you're up for a class, Matt's classes rock and are well worth every cent, pence or Rappen.

'The first drops of rain fell. The catfish breached the surface, mistaking the rain for food. I thought about how easy it was to do that sometimes, mistake one thing for another.' An unsettling and real read here.

Subs open through 10 October. Let the trouble begin.

This was excellent - the instruction, conversation and funny little things borne during the prompts (speaking for myself there). Thank you @saloneurope.bsky.social and tutor @julieirigaray.bsky.social, who kept us inspired and in check :)

This one had me until the end.

You just have to look for it :)

Very proud of this issue (nothing new there, though)

The answer is write more, unfortunately

Nudge-nudge and possibly wink-wink...

Aww, blushing from over here. Will always be fascinated by how some stories come together and build on threads past and present. Thank you again for your support ❤️

Thank you again. Love your description there.

Thanks so much for reading and for your encouraging words ❤️

Ooof, squeezed between ceramic and lobster-pink skin indeed... a wee and wild flash by @yallaalia.bsky.social

That's brilliant. Thank you!
