It’s quite possible to have a whole lot of clothes and nothing to wear at the same time. 🤦🏽‍♀️

Nothing, just sewing and watching Law & Order: SVU from the first season like somebody’s granny. 😅All I need is a good supper.

I want kim porter’s case reopened before the sun sets and i’m not fucking kidding

I stood with Cassie BEFORE seeing her proof, but I absolutely am BAFFLED in what I just watched. Diddy, punching her in the head, throwing her to the floor, kicking her, dragging her? This is why you should believe victims when they speak. Everyone ain’t lying

I miss having my morning iced coffee. I’mma see if I can find a good decaf solution this weekend.

Happy Birthday to poetry editor, Pilate's Earring! 🌹🎂✨

Whew—ya’ll went IN for y’all boy, Charlie. I’m probably gonna do ‘Carol (I’m thinking Christmas in July vibes) and if I like that—Great Expectations (cause someone said it was romantic. Say less!).

My first chapbook baby is at the end of its run! I have some copies left if you would like a signed one. So grateful to Bloodwarm and Variant Literature for jumpstarting my book career, so proud of everything I accomplished bc of it. We printed 1,000 copies, sold about 900, not bad! 🥹

We’re still open to #submissions for full-length collections & novellas & novels (novelettes in our Afternoon Shorts series). Have you submitted? We’ve accepted a few collections. Yours could be next. Give shannon wolf something to chew on. #submit today. #WritingCommunity .

I’ve never read Dickens before. What’s the most dazzling and best book to break me into his work? ☺️

My friend Vincent Anioke is an AUTHOR! 🤗I cannot wait to get into this treasure of a book! ✨✨✨

Longform stories are about the closest I get to my academic paper writing days. Like, yeah…this’s is all “made up” but at the end of the day this shit still gotta make sense. The theories gotta theory. The thesis gotta thesis. 😅

We’re now offering a BOOK OF THE MONTH CLUB. As a member of the club you’ll receive a random ELJ title every month for a year. Only $200 (including S/H). A $300 value. Purchase a membership on our landing page today & get a chapbook to start for free! elj-editions.com

There’s a fellowship whose deadline is today, and I have everything filled out I just don’t know if I…want to. New spaces tend to make me nervous and also when there’s sort of a designated period when you can go, and ONLY go during that time, that also makes me nervous. 🙈

Sisters With Voices still stepping on necks 🧡

Honeycrisp!

about that teacher and boundaries.

Just wrote a new story, and the last story that I’ll need* (may do a want* here and there but I’m locked in on what I’m working towards finishing) to write for a bit. 🥹Let me just sit here and appreciate that. 🙏🏽
