hi hello hi I need to scream for a sec but I HAVE A SHORT STORY IN A PRINT ANTHOLOGY! like a real actual physical book!!! the anthology as a whole is about resource scarcity and specifically the moment a resource runs out, and true to form I wrote a funky thing about time and grief and messy familial relationships and gardening. cuz what is there to do when something ends other than to keep maintaining your plants.

this isn't even to say you should totally buy this thing but if you do want to check it out, it's available for preorder

#megs is writing #if there's one thing you gotta know about me it's that I will make a rosebush into a motif at any given opportunity #almost like I grew up with like 20 of them (not an exaggeration) #also for the record aan has REALLY FUN anthologies so if you are looking for funky spec fic from a small press I highly recommend #I'm trying to submit again to their current call cuz I LOVE their anthology themes but we'll see if I get my shit together in time. #I love having a STRUCTURE to write to. would love to just. write commissioned fiction for a living. it'd be great. genuinely I'd love it. #but alas our technocracy that wants to outlaw genuine human expression believes that should be illegal. #we stay silly regardless. mostly by working with small indie presses.
