Stories I published in 2025 ftw
Putting this together was heartening. I'd honestly forgotten that some of these were 2025.
In a tough year, I really needed to reflect on my #writing wins.
What's not pictured? All the other amazing stories I wrote! (Stay tuned for 2026+?)
If you want to nominate anything, I won't stop you. 😘🖤

Chatted with the amazing @ivygrimes.bsky.social about writing, riddles, and why I will always love Chris Van Allsburg
I never write anything without a very clear idea of what it means to me. Which isn’t the same thing as saying “There’s a definitive answer embedded here that everyone should be on the same page about.” I’m not writing math equations.
