Happy to share "Wintering" by Jenny Wong ! A wonderful #writerlife craft essay! #WritingCommunity mandirapattnaik.com/2025/07/05/win…

It’s a little ironic that the longest thing I’ve written in a while is all about…um…not writing. Very thrilled to be back once again for a craft essay guest blog post on Mandira Pattnaik’s blog site (thank you, Mandira!! 🩵). Please enjoy! ⬇️⬇️⬇️

I was one of the winners of Rhubarb Writers' Wandering Words Competition and my poem 'Parkin' (first published in Frazzled Lit *Open! Short Story Award*) is now part of a poetry trail running throughout July! If you're ever in Saltaire, you can see my poem in the window of Salts Village Bakery 🥐

say yes to distress ghostparachute.com/issue/august-2… an absolute powerhouse of a micro from Melissa Llanes Brownlee in Ghost Parachute that deeply resonated with me. An important piece.
