Hi, friends new and old -

It’s that time of the month: voting time! As always, today’s a quickie. I’ll…

💌 rehash how voting works for all you sweet new faces,

💌 give y’all the chance to join the club,

💌 tell ya about my BRAND SPANKIN’ NEW online store,

💌 and share the poll to vote on the required action and word for our monthly micro fiction, choose July’s mail topic, AND suggest future themes!

2011 was a hard year. This is a 35 mm photo I took in the throes of mad grief, embroidered and typed on in 2022.

🗳 How it works

Howdy, first timers!

Each month, paid subscribers and my Patreon fam vote on the upcoming microfiction’s required word and action, plus the following month’s historical mail topic.

Voting closes on the 27th, giving me just three days to draft some fiction that follows your given parameters. I’ll post it on the last day of the month!

Once my story’s in the world, it’s your turn. Write your own microfiction following the prompt, then post it in the comments, email it to me, or toss it in a corked bottle in the Atlantic and cross those fingers.

Paid subscribers get annual, quarterly, or monthly art mailed to them, too.

If you wanna vote, upgrade your subscription,

👩🏼‍❤️‍💋‍👩🏼 This month’s story is gonna be all about…

Eleanor Roosevelt and Lorena Hickok’s romance

But before we vote, I have one more exciting thing:

🎨 you can now buy my art online!

It’s finally here! My art store is live. Now there’s nothing standing between you and one-of-a-kind photo embroideries to jazz up your home, office, bar, van, or scary basement.

Currently, my shop’s got five original photo embroideries up (and their prints), ready to be shipped to ya from France to basically anywhere in the world.

This is only the start of some really dope beginnings, so keep your eyes peeled for more originals or…

Shop art now!
