A two-fold handout booklet from last week — a guest lecture on language in short stories for @manuscriptgal.bsky.social 's speculative short story masters course at the University of Queensland.

Have just finished a draft of The Demon Wall that is now in a state to be shown to another living human. Hurrah!

Hello my friends! Any recommendations for books about writing short stories? Or things you have read that have really helped?

@kellylink.bsky.social Just finished devouring The Book of Love. As someone who struggled with the transition from short stories to novels, I was so impressed with how you carried over your voice and aesthetics from short form to long form. A really wonderful book and a grand accomplishment.
