Good grief, this hits home.

I have a story today on Heavy Feather Review on grief and algebra and empty chairs, and about how we react to unsolvable equations, and I'd be so honored if you gave it a read ❤️ heavyfeatherreview.org/2026/07/27/a...

I wrote this a couple of months ago, because I've been a Justine and I've been a Claire too at times, and I find it funny how we sometimes feel like home in disaster. Thank you always @davidestringel.bsky.social and @bloodhoneylit.bsky.social 💖💖💖💖🥳 www.bloodhoneylit.com/mileva-anast...

love the voice & fun & everything from Mileva Anastasiadou! "Then she takes me out and pretends she doesn’t know that I’m too sad for parties, and she sings about how Girls Just Want to Have Fun, because she’s here to remind me that fun is fun is fun, like roses." https://www.havehashad.com/noj3i

It was on this day, a month ago, when I found out that happy won't ever mean happy again. I can't speak much about it, I barely can write, but I wrote this tiny thing, and I am grateful to David Estringel and Blood Honey for publishing it ❤️ www.bloodhoneylit.com/mileva-anast...

I’m finishing this novel, but my second brain is already working on the next one (got 10k words of it, so it’s a THING). If the next novel goes big, I’ll write the next one. If it doesn’t even get published, I’ll write the next one. And then I’ll do it again and again and again.
