Continuing with the last few excerpts from our themed issue last year, we have Veronica Krynock's 'What Keeps the Wolves at Bay' - lemme tell you, I read this and then had to semi-read it to my housemates. A beautiful howl of a read!🐺🏳️‍🌈

An extract from Hudson Hess's 'Reality Bites', a raging piece with teeth and claws and letting go to the chilling darkness within. Read all of it in our last issue, The Thrilling & The Chilling. 🦷👠

And lastly, but by no means least or only, we have Dana Lyn's 'siren song of succurrere' - I'm so glad sirens featured in this issue, and to be so cursingly drawn within this poem. Spine-tingling. 🧜🔮

with confetti🎉 I work full-time in a non-writing field, and write mostly at night, and during the weekends. Most of my writing comprises short fiction, essays, poetry.

with confetti🎉 I write when I feel compelled to. I cannot set a perfect schedule. As I get further in, I might set three times a week that I write. I can write at work (and have the ability to see my work computer from a home computer.) I most write in the middle of the night.

with confetti🎉 I set aside regular time on weekends for writing; it used to be one afternoon a fortnight when I made a point of going into the city library for it, but now after lockdowns and wfh I don't feel like I need to leave home to focus, so I can write most Sundays for a few hours.

You have TWO (2) WEEKS LEFT to submit to our Everything Issue - I'm talking fiction, non-fiction, poetry, and visual art!! Pls send me loads so I can cope with life (&pls read our guidelines and previous issues for more information) 😊🏳️‍🌈🎉
