Will a setback with his horse make him second guess his goals? And can he open up enough to let Xan into his life?

Ughhhhhh I am back in the “I can’t believe I let anyone read this; it’s horrible” space with my book. I have soooooo many changes I need to make. I’m overwhelmed. I have lots of comments from my editor to help me work on the issues but it feels unsalvageable right now. Last time I cut and rewrote 25,000 words. I don’t want to do that again 😩 but I guess I will if it needs it. How do y’all push pass the frustration/negative feelings to edit & revise (AGAIN)? #writingCommunity #askFedi #queerLit

Patel's book is sold as poetry, but I'm told better to think of it as performance or a lost narrative, a song of political exploitation and erasure. Will do!

Pico's first book on identity and privacy between the internet and real life, also the first part of his "Teebs tetralogy," which I will read, one each season, as I believe they were themed.

"It is not the answers you get, but the questions you ask, that determine the shape of your becoming." — Leslie Feinberg, Stone Butch Blues, 1993.

I have spent fifty-some years being told what I am by people who never asked. I learned, slowly, in this Southern heat, to let their verdict pass through me like weather.

“Colour is a language in the novel… The men can’t talk about the truth of their feelings, or about what’s really going on. But they have such specificity around colour, and that’s the one place they can meet”

—Douglas Stuart on JOHN OF JOHN, & championing Hebridean weavers

"You can love people you've lost. That love doesn't have to die just because it can't be delivered." On missing two people who don't call, and holding the love anyway — like salt, kept by letting it dissolve into where it used to be.

The onion went translucent before she noticed she'd been standing there long enough. Fifty-something, finally learning to turn the flame down before the smoke. A new short story about cooking dinner alone, grieving two friends still loved, and the rage that was always aimed inward.

She set one plate out of habit, then stood looking at it like it had said something rude. A new short story about grief, self-forgiveness, and loving people who no longer call. https://twp.ai/4hsOyB #LiteraryFiction #ShortStory #Grief #QueerLit #AmReading #Fiction #Booksky

"We were never meant to survive." — Audre Lorde. "Unison" ends on that bare floor, where there's no move on the board that lifts the loneliness or calls off the eyes. The going-on regardless — even-paced, mute, alone, the key an inch off the lock — is the whole stubborn fact of her.

A piano tuner rides the last train home and two men decide, out loud, to make a sound that hurts. "Unison" lives inside one cold midnight commute — the geometry of doors, the careful turning-away of every other passenger, the word struck like a fist on the bottom keys.

Cold came up through the platform boards before the train did. A trans piano tuner rides home through a car of strangers' eyes. "Unison": https://twp.ai/9OXfxd #TransRights #QueerLit #Fiction #LGBTQ #ShortStory #TransVisibility #AmReading
