@aimeebalthazar i agree! ty for this - i'd have probably never considered.

[Mitchell Ny @MitchellNy]

so i think it's fair to say i'm kinda new to this thing. do you, who submit to lit mags, get real life people to read your work first? where do you even find real life people you are willing to share it with?

[Mitchell Ny @MitchellNy]

@aimeebalthazar i'll consider that! like people online? i'd be scared somehow

[E.L. Chandler @ElChandler]

For writers: what does your main character want?

[Mitchell Ny @MitchellNy]

@ElChandler a way to resume his delusion

[Mitchell Ny @MitchellNy]

i'm risking my relationships here! help a guy out

[Mitchell Ny @MitchellNy]

my protagonists are liars and i just want to say here and now, i really hope this does not reflect poorly on me.

[Mitchell Ny @MitchellNy]

i've been finishing pieces lately thinking "wow this is the best i've done" and then getting placed for pieces i wrote a year ago. that was a diff me, please understand.

[Mitchell Ny @MitchellNy]

@ThuanAn_writer thanks for asking. it came out good, i think! outside my comfort zone, more formally ambitious than my typical. always learning

"it's bland" "ah shit ok: funeral, eulogy, cigarettes, ripped jeans, 40oz, rickety sedan, anti-preciousness, smoke, ash, ochre, stench, prozac, ozempic, red lipstick"

@_alec_ivan_ i'm back from a hiatus myself. stopped for several weeks to focus on work. you'll be glad when you get back! I feel like taking time off made me better. today i drafted for 10 hours straight i had so much pent up 😁

[Mitchell Ny @MitchellNy]

@FracturedLit this piece took 30 rejections and more revisions than i can count. it is my origin: my first piece of completed creative writing. it was born a poem in April 2025.

[Mitchell Ny @MitchellNy]

for me, part of being a writer is constantly resisting the urge to turn irl drama into material. people are so messy. it's gorgeous and beguiling and i refuse.

[Mitchell Ny @MitchellNy]

@ElChandler none of my villains even know they're in a story. one of them is literally just a warm spot in a rug. the rest are just people that chose wrong.

[Mitchell Ny @MitchellNy]

@ShonMapp you found the treasure!

[Shon @ShonMapp]

Being a first reader for a litmag can be a grueling process, until one of your selected pieces gets shortlisted.

At this point, I'm more excited than the writer since the person no idea.

you can (1) order a cheeseburger or (2) send tens of thousands of AI queries like "what's the word that means... but kinda isn't.... but has that vibe." it costs the same water; has the same impact. anyway, i've got 10,001 ambiguous units of water idk what to do with.
