My story "Hollywood Madness" can now be seen in The Dark City Crime and Mystery Magazine: Volume 8, Issue 2!

Where can you find that, you ask? Well, here: https://t.co/zxeZHhE5fj

@MattFnWallace I've really been enjoying reading through the original Bond books. They are often not like what you'd expect.

@kylegriffin1 @darenwang It's done a lot of good in Michigan. Good luck!

[B. Patrick Lonberg @LonbergWrites]

Damn, I love my college town!

[B. Patrick Lonberg @LonbergWrites]

I read the most amazing and tragic history story today, and I think only @darenwang can write the novelization.

@Ltward2 I made smoked chicken quesadillas for breakfast Saturday (with my coffee) because fuck it I can do what I want.

I love submitting to @TheColoredLens Magazine. I've never gotten an acceptance (yet), but they get back to you so fast and with such a positive and *personal* response that they are always one of my first subs for genre fiction.

[B. Patrick Lonberg @LonbergWrites]

Thirteen new subs tonight!

[B. Patrick Lonberg @LonbergWrites]

Well, that was a great writing group. I was told that I'd improved greatly, and hit my target of a flash piece - actually keeping it short - without sacrificing my verbose voice or overly truncating the plot. #nailedit

[B. Patrick Lonberg @LonbergWrites]

@andrewshorror @from_between Great question. I'd love that option, too!

[B. Patrick Lonberg @LonbergWrites]

@PassagesNorth OK, I will.

A book at a brewpub.

[B. Patrick Lonberg @LonbergWrites]

@SeanCRHill Absolutely. One isn't "better" than the other. That said, I enjoy the novel more. I've done a lot of shorts, and have 4 publishing credits. I'll try for more, but I really want to get a novel under my belt.

[B. Patrick Lonberg @LonbergWrites]

This is the most pears I've gotten off my tree yet!

@mqr_tweets I'm curious if you have a timetable for last year's submissions. I have a submission from September 27th of last year still marked 'received' in Submittable.

Am I allowed to submit something else for this year?

[B. Patrick Lonberg @LonbergWrites]

I'm *going* to write a flash fiction piece this week. That's all there is to it!

[B. Patrick Lonberg @LonbergWrites]

Reading Babylon's Ashes...

I'm hoping this picks up. I love this world, but starting with book 4, the main progression of the Expanse series seems to be bloat.

[B. Patrick Lonberg @LonbergWrites]

@TeaWhileWriting I'm with you. Life has been too much in '23. I'm just starting to write again for the first time since mid-January.

Good luck!
