@andrewcareaga.bsky.socialGrateful to Be About It Press editor @alexandranaughton.bsky.social for publishing my short story "For America" today. I hope you'll give it a read before the insane clown puts "America" on some other ocean/lake/gulf. beaboutitpress.substack.com/p/for-america

@andrewcareaga.bsky.socialI don’t have Netflix so I won’t be able to watch the latest adaptation of John Steinbeck’s classic EAST OF EDEN. So I’m reading it for the first time ever. Almost halfway through, I found this snippet to share. #writingcommunity
@rfpress.bsky.socialReposted by @andrewcareaga.bsky.socialWhat would you do if you knew the exact moment of the foretold Rapture? And would your behavior in your last days on this earth change your eternal outcome? Thoughts to ponder as you read "Out of Office" by @andrewcareaga.bsky.social in issue 100.

@andrewcareaga.bsky.socialOn this date in 2017, the final royalty statement received from the publisher of two of my books (published in 2001 and 2003). Never made it to that “substantial amount.” Can anyone relate? #Writinglife #WritingCommunity
@andrewcareaga.bsky.socialNo worries. I found the problem. Operator error. I was able to email you just now.
@andrewcareaga.bsky.socialApparently can’t dm you without a follow.
@andrewcareaga.bsky.socialThanks for responding. Will DM.

@andrewcareaga.bsky.socialThanks! I’m going to let the story rest for a few days before I decide anything else.
@kmwriter01.bsky.socialReposted by @andrewcareaga.bsky.socialWe’re checking out @andrewcareaga.bsky.social ‘s story "The Doctor's Version" At SIDE B today.
Told with chilling wit & razor-sharp irony, it explores power, manipulation, exploitation & the ease with which evil disguises itself as care.

@andrewcareaga.bsky.socialThank you. And yes, you're correct. Now, to take the next step(s) forward.
@andrewcareaga.bsky.socialFinally finished a (very) rough draft of a short story I’ve been carrying around in my head for over a year now, and it hasn’t turned out at all the way I first imagined it. Changed POV from third- to first-person plus a lot more. Who knows how it’ll end up? #writingcommunity
