I am buzzing with excitement: my new flash piece "Third Date" is out in PseudoPod! Listen to it or read it here:

Every now and then, I wish Colin Firth had played Chéri in his youth. Then he would have gifted us the perfect embodied trifecta of male characters: Valmont, Chéri and Darcy.

Gentle chaos and reading intent ^^

Gently dozing off with a friend's manuscript in hand, while laundry dries on the line and the sun bathes cornfields. Have I stepped into a cosy summer slice of life or at last unlocked cottage witch mode ><?

Every once in a while, I think of "What Of This Goldfish Would You Wish?" by E. Keret. It is by far my favorite take on the three wishes tale. Such precise subversion of expectations to reveal the warmest core!

The absolute thrill of creating a new *Secret Project* file... [Sorry current WIP, I'll be back]

Thrilled to have my story "Love for the Artist" out in Strange Pilgrims: www.strangepilgrims.com/p/love-for-t...

Love for the Artist by Divya Kernan"I own a man. I don’t fuck him—" | Flash Fiction #8www.strangepilgrims.com

Writing speculative fiction, a lot of my effort goes into providing enough details for the reader to happily suspend disbelief. Funnily, I've noticed that it is always the elements directly lifted from reality that people challenge most. I guess life is often stranger than fiction?

For a girl who eats up dramatic storytelling, days that start with quiet narratives only to devolve into unhinged laughter are the ultimate, flavorful experience. What is one to do but embrace one's absolute delight in horrific chaos? 😅

The half of my desk that lets me pretend for just a lick of a second I am a serious person. [Posting as a reward for meeting my daily goal]

Personal objective: Finish Novel #3 before July 14 Quest level: Impossible (like all good goals) Protocol: Ignore all distractions Side Quest: Maintain human form (hahaha as if)

Saw this exhilarating urban art show today: We Are [Still] Here. What moved me most was how some of the contemporary pieces were hidden within the historical collection. It made for a sweet treasure hunt.

As I grew up devouring a large number of regency romance novels among my first english reads, odd turns of phrases are part of my linguistic idiosyncrasies ↓

Belatedly getting myself "Platform Decay" by Martha Wells 😁 So excited to go back to that universe!

Got my first acceptance of the year last night (thank you Summer Solstice?)... and gosh, am I excited for this story to get out into the world so very soon!

Pushing through to finish the current novel, whilst another story tries to colonize your whole mind, dropping new plot twists in your lap every other moment, is a heroine's journey

How I fancy myself after one hour and a half of fencing practice:

Spending several hours to figure out a character's "original wound" only to realize, damn, it's that one toxic misbelief you thought you personally defeated years ago... but sure enough, here it is again 😅

When your GM texts you, you're going to need your teddy for the grand finale of the campaign... 😱

1012 words for #1000wordsofsummer fueled by a shameless amount of looping Pacific Rim OST. Dirty draft but it exists!
