I took these pics a month ago, when I was too sick with COVID to go anywhere, much less a bookstore. So I was deliriously happy (or maybe it was the fever dreams 😅) to receive my contributor copies of the May/June 2022 edition of @Analog_SF , where I have a story pubbed!

[C.H. Hung @CHHungWrites]

@GameOverStation @BaenBooks I would have LOVED to join a finalist party and check out the Baen Roadshow, but with both work+personal events bookending Labor Day weekend, I couldn't squeeze in DragonCon so wasn't planning on it 😭(also goes to show how likely I thought I needed to be there, lolsigh)

[C.H. Hung @CHHungWrites]

Absolutely GOBSMACKED that one of my stories is a finalist for this year's Baen Fantasy Adventure Award.

Congratulations to the finalists; I am so honored to be among you!!! 🥳🤗

[Baen Books @BaenBooks]

Starting soon! Cultural Family Dynamics and How They Impact the Story with @CHHungWrites @niquethewriter @Danaiwrites & @KeirAlekseii is about to begin. #WriteHive2022

[WriteHive 🐝 @Write_Hive]

There are some story structures that aren’t commonly discussed in craft books or don’t get enough audience exposure. Join this panel with @CHHungWrites @KeirAlekseii @AuthorShilpa to find out what those are and how we can apply them! https://t.co/VqoSmeLoAp

[C.H. Hung @CHHungWrites]

Truthfully, my mother inspires an embarrassingly high percentage of my stories. 😅 Filial piety runs deep even in new soil. 🙏

[Analog Fiction&Fact @Analog_SF]

Where does great fiction come from? For author C.H. Hung, recollection can be a powerful tool for many writers. Read on as Hung discusses the memory of her mother that inspired her latest story "Faster Than Falling Starlight" [https://t.co/PShxvWhVAE].

@Analog_SF This was a dream publication for me to find one of my #SFF stories accepted. I kept that acceptance email quiet for the longest time because I just couldn't believe it was real. The Analog team has been so great to work with, and I am so excited to be a part of this issue! 🙏

[C.H. Hung @CHHungWrites]

@raymund_e @Analog_SF Thank you so much, Raymund! Sorry for being absent, I've been too sick to read/write lately but feeling much better now. Very much looking forward to reading your piece as well. 🤗

[C.H. Hung @CHHungWrites]

omgomgomg it meeeeeee😅

[C.H. Hung @CHHungWrites]

@dacwriter Thank you!! I'm pretty excited 😁

[C.H. Hung @CHHungWrites]

Dabbling (drabbling?) in flash fic was a super-fun exercise for my writing group, and it resulted in my first flash-fic pub! "Mother May I" is republished in @MagazineMartian 's Year One anthology, linked below. Tons of great #scifi nuggets by a wide variety of authors 🤗

[Martian Magazine @MagazineMartian]

Our Year One anthology is out in the world today! Grab it on Kindle, paperback, or hardcover! 81 of the best 100-word science fiction stories from last year!!!

[C.H. Hung @CHHungWrites]

@lianxiarose @KhoreoMag @KatalinaWatt Congrats, Lian Xia!! 🥳🥳🥳

[C.H. Hung @CHHungWrites]

Audio is LIVE! Thank you Mel Chu for their gorgeous narration, @KatalinaWatt for prod. As always, @KhoreoMag @_aleksandrahill & teams were kickass to work with, 10/10 would recommend 🤗

Mom is overseas right now, and I hate to say it... but I kinda miss her pork chops. 😂

[khōréō magazine @KhoreoMag]

Enjoy a tasteful essay on food and identity! @CHHungWrites's "Ketchup Pork Chops and Foreign Potatoes" is live! This essay is narrated by Mel Chu, edited by @_aleksandrahill and produced by @KatalinaWatt! Listen to or read it now: https://t.co/C1866Nt8Jf

[C.H. Hung @CHHungWrites]

I donated a critique to @KhoreoMag 's Y2 fundraiser, but there's a ton of other goodies -- not the least of which is supporting their mission of hearing amazing, uniquely individual stories from #diaspora #writers.

Please support them if their mission speaks to you, too. 🥰

[C.H. Hung @CHHungWrites]

The #Olympic athletes from the #Chinese #diaspora competing in #Beijing this year have stirred up a ton of debate, both within and without the community. But it also reminds me why I love @KhoreoMag and its mission of distributing stories from diaspora writers around the world.

[khōréō magazine @KhoreoMag]

Friends, we are so thrilled to unveil our Year 2 fundraiser! With your support, we can keep publishing speculative fiction by immigrant and diaspora authors for another year—and hopefully many, many more to come.

[C.H. Hung @CHHungWrites]

Being part of multiple heritages is never a clear journey, and is always worth examining on a deeply personal and individual level. People from nearly identical backgrounds can and will make different choices. It's for us to hear their individual stories, not to judge why.

[khōréō magazine @KhoreoMag]

Speaking of amazing stories and a great year, we've been quietly working on our first-ever awards eligibility list! We're incredibly proud of the work and authors we've published. Our list is up now on our website: https://t.co/8rmTlfNcpk

[C.H. Hung @CHHungWrites]

A long time ago, I read @AmyTan 's dedication in "The Joy Luck Club" to her mother:

"You asked me once what I would remember. This is what I remember."

Those words stayed with me all this time, to when I wrote this essay. I kept thinking, "I remember." So this one's for Mom.

[khōréō magazine @KhoreoMag]

Cooking is a necessity, but it often requires a luxury of time that many—especially new immigrants—don't have. In "Ketchup Pork Chops and Foreign Potatoes", @CHHungWrites explores her experience of food and identity while growing up in the US.
