I am obsessively editing and re-editing a poem to submit to an open call and I’m finding so many opportunities to second guess myself. I think sometimes having more words to work with makes things easier. #writingcommunity #amwriting08 Apr 2025 16:04 +0000at://did:plc:2xtjelmxz5ps5brywvj5bigc/app.bsky.feed.post/3lmcu27xams26https://bsky.app/profile/jsdouglas.bsky.social/post/3ljzyyupqvc2uJust finished “Witchcraft for Wayward Girls.” It’s so fucked up.

Could come at 8:30 AM on a Thursday, might be 10 AM on a Sunday. Might just be the guy who owns it transporting his jeep up and down the track for some reason.06 Feb 2025 16:48 +0000at://did:plc:2xtjelmxz5ps5brywvj5bigc/app.bsky.feed.post/3lhjk3lgmls22https://bsky.app/profile/jsdouglas.bsky.social/post/3lggnei7wxs26My ideal reader for my WIP is someone who loves a mix of fantastical and real life horror. And potentially the kind of person who is interested in reading about and dissecting cults. #pretendpanel [contains quote post or other embedded content]23 Jan 2025 19:44 +0000at://did:plc:2xtjelmxz5ps5brywvj5bigc/app.bsky.feed.post/3lggnei7wxs26
