- Horrible delays on the trains today - but it means I managed to finish a good draft of the story I am working on, and I have to say: I'm pretty pleased with this one. As you can see from the title: more hippos coming your way!🦛🙂

- This is happening tonight. Excited about it.
- OK, this is not a proper ranking, but just a little fun I had with the Best American Science Fiction and Fantasy 2016-2025. 2 pts for every featured story, 1 pt for every notable. 2025 weight = 1, decreasing to 2016 weight = 0.1 Full list (67 journals) available from my website.
- It's been a good year... Thanks so much to all the wonderful magazines that published my writing + everyone who read my work. Links to all stories below!
- This morning: Paris doing Paris
- OK, I wasn't expecting this 🤯 - I travelled to Rwanda in August - I wrote an essay about it in September - I started submitting in October - Only 3 lit mag responses in, and it's an acceptance from @chicagoqreview.bsky.social ! What a way to end the year 🥳🥂
- Science fiction & fantasy writers: I am working on a special lit mag ranking for you... Question: would it be weird if I lumped together Fantasy Magazine / The Deadlands / Psychopomp?
