A new call for submissions on the theme of “Migration”. We want to explore the meaning of it outside of images of small boats: tell us stories of storks flying from Africa to Poland, about your family, about why movement matters. Open until November 15th, 2026. www.elsewhere-journal.com/submissions
I'm noticing a chill in the air when I go for a run in the morning. Winter is coming on.
Some of the stories I'm submitting to journals are now so old that when I'm ticking the "I didn't use AI" box I can do so without a moment's hesitation because ChatGPT DID NOT EXIST when I wrote the piece.
Loved this brilliant story about dementia by @dawnwriter.bsky.social. So well crafted! "Sometimes, when my mother and father go for a walk, Dad doesn’t remember which house is his, and I imagine seahorses colliding in his brain, rearing up against each other like panicked horses in a firestorm."

Enjoyed Madrid and want more? Or perhaps you missed out and want to see what all the fuss is about? Come to PARIS in November with us for 2 days of writing, reading and exploration.
European Writers Salon@saloneurope.bsky.social · last mo.Dear friends, in November we're going to PARIS! We’re hosting an open mic and 2 writing workshops in a cosy, welcoming cafe and in the city beyond. All welcome. The theme is ‘My Self in Other Cities' and takes place over two days. You can join as much or as little as you like. It includes:
Long shot here. I took this crazy reflection picture of a beautiful small square #painting in a #madrid gallery window on #calledeatocha. A bunch of bodies. Maybe 10x10. I keep wishing I’d gone in to ask for details. Anyone know the gallery’s name??? Or artist? Or anything? Thank you.
Delighted to have a micro in the autumn equinox issue of @identitytheory.bsky.social! Massive thanks to micro editor Vic Nogay for believing in this piece! www.identitytheory.com/if-you-dont-...

@ruralunease.bsky.social cannot DM you The Country of Childhood is for you. I love the way your writing conveys the natural world and crosses boundaries between adult life and Childhood so thought of this poem for you ❤️
Good morning! Do you need a poem today? Like this post and I will post a poem just for you and DM you to tell you why. Might be random. Might be because it makes me think of you. Might be because it is how I imagine you based on your profile. Let us see....
Just submitted this piece. Let's hope that draft 13 is the lucky one.
Daniel Addercouth@ruralunease.bsky.social · last mo.You're probably not going to believe this, but I'm starting to suspect that obsessively tinkering with this story isn't making it any better.
