Writer/lawyer. He/him. Probably ate cereal for dinner last night.
Stories in @hyphenmag, @smokelong, Red Rock Review. @UCR_MFA. I don't really use this anymore

So, so excited to share this short story about grief, ghosts, and veterinary cat care. This one is special to me so I'm deeply thankful to Red Rock Review for publishing it. #writing #WritingCommunity #fiction #story

Just me at the bookstore, buying all the books of my future MFA profs so they can teach me to write exactly like them. #writing

Okay time to write

So after I cook the healthy food and eat all the healthy food, I have to cook more of it? And I just keep doing that until, like, I die?

Thank you, Spotify, for finally telling me that I'm in the top 1 percentile of something

Writers love to complain about how much they actually despise the act of writing, but after filling out several artist's statements for applications, I can confidently say that writing about writing is far, far worse.

[Daniel Kuo @danieljkuo]

Can everyone just agree on where we're going next and then let me know? Thanks. It's been a pleasure. #writersoftwitter

Once in college, my friends and I wore white, brown, and yellow shirts and trick or treated claiming we were dressed as a s'more. People looked at us skeptically but they did give us candy.

Anyway, Happy Halloween 🎃

A group of writers is called a procrastination.

[Daniel Kuo @danieljkuo]

Okay I took a Twitter break for a while but I'm back! Everything is the same here right? Nothing's changed or getting worse?

@silversatire 🎉🎉🎉 Love the cover!

[Daniel Kuo @danieljkuo]

I'm taking a break from this bird app because I was having trouble getting tons of rejections while everyone in my feed kept announcing their dream acceptances, their upcoming publication dates, their latest awards, etc. But I hope you're all having a great weekend!

[Daniel Kuo @danieljkuo]

@silversatire It's the perfect gift!

Today I received a mystery package of 4 bottles of wine, addressed to me by name. No card or sender. Birthday was last week but so far no friends or family have claimed the wine. Also, 3 of the bottles are identical.

Thoughts? 🤷‍♂️

[Daniel Kuo @danieljkuo]

@luaz_poet Maybe the card says who the poison is from?
