Love this, Charlotte! That hard turn (though we knew it was coming): “After the divorce ….” Perfect!

Deb, thank you! I meant to answer your last email a long time ago, sorry! Think of you often, though, and will be in touch soon! xo

Charlotte, thank you for mentioning Shared Madness! Actually, SugarSugarSalt lit proved an influence in the focus of the *stack. Previously published work can have new life! I also have the chance to re-thank the editors and link readers to the lit mag. In 99% of the cases, copyright returns to the writer, so why not?

Back to your writing - the story above particularly - as a reader, I’m in the story, a watcher. Your voice draws me in. No easy feat for a writer. ❤️

Thanks, Sheree! Tbh, I think I’ve reached my saturation point submitting to litmags. (Except for a few favorites.) It occurred to me I could publish here and still reach people who want to read my stuff. I’m so glad you decided to join us here!

I really liked this. I haven't started writing fiction on Substack yet but I've got a full length novel coming out soon. What's your experience writing short fiction on Substack?

Honestly, I only recently started posting stories and poems here. I’ve been published in literary journals for about 18 years, though. Let us know if you start posting your work here. Thanks for reading!
