As @gwenda.bsky.social has said, practice doesn’t make perfect, practice makes permanent. What gets me closer, anyway, to perfect is that I keep looking for ways to make the basic stuff I already learned better, along with the stuff I’m still growing into.
This story is SO good!

Brown Hound Press@brownhoundpress.bsky.social · 3mo agoStory of the Week - No spoilers, but I bet you will be fooled by the way @shellyjones.bsky.social opens their story “Bloom.” An innocent birdwatching expedition, eh? I don’t think so. www.brownhoundpress.com/stories/shel...

Loved this one -- such good banter.
Brown Hound Press@brownhoundpress.bsky.social · 3mo agoStory of the Week: Ronald Coleman described his story as a quirky rom-com, and it is certainly that. I instantly loved the concept of a “Villains Only” dating app, and the characters drew me right in. Great backstories and banter. www.brownhoundpress.com/stories/rona...

This is the first time in @texasmonthly.bsky.social’s history that the Pulitzers have honored its work. This announcement made me emotional with relief. A lot things feel unfair in this industry these days, and nobody deserves this recognition more than Aaron. www.texasmonthly.com/press-room/s...
