I guess I never got around to finding out what a point solution was. Anyone? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ See www.willwilloughby.com/fiction for links to some of my stories. They're so impactful. #AmWriting25 Aug 2026 00:58 +0000at://did:plc:hetzdpayzjbfjko2eeqa5pcv/app.bsky.feed.post/3mtumgjtgd22ohttps://bsky.app/profile/willwilloughby.bsky.social/post/3mttmztlevk2hJust got my preordered copy of @ryantpozzi.bsky.social‘s The Mess That Made Them.

My site (www.willwilloughby.com) has evolved since then, and I do indeed have a book to pitch now. WHILE I HAVE YOU, my debut short story collection, is forthcoming from Littoral Books (spring 2027). Consider it pitched, friends. 😜 #AmWriting [contains quote post or other embedded content]07 Aug 2026 11:39 +0000at://did:plc:hetzdpayzjbfjko2eeqa5pcv/app.bsky.feed.post/3msihuvzups2hhttps://bsky.app/profile/willwilloughby.bsky.social/post/3mquyrq6qu22u“None of us working at Fallow Beach Cinema in the summer of 1990 had anywhere else to go—that was part of it—but the real problem was Ariel, the Little Mermaid.” Read “Concession,” my story on life, friendship, and whether Batman is edgy. https://audienceaskew.com/volume-5-issue-1/ #WritingCommunity18 Jul 2026 00:23 +0000at://did:plc:hetzdpayzjbfjko2eeqa5pcv/app.bsky.feed.post/3mquyrq6qu22uhttps://bsky.app/profile/willwilloughby.bsky.social/post/3motkcli4i222My debut short story collection just got a title: WHILE I HAVE YOU.
