|| NEW STORY || The final story in April's Keep Moving theme is here! Enjoy this look at St. Christopher's Failure by Royce Holladay: "Opening an old velvet box, I’m ambushed by the sight of the small, lovely St. Christopher necklace you gave me. I’m jerked back in time; no longer looking to the future. It was your final Christmas gift, opened that night we traveled to a place neither of us could come home from. It was the night you broke my heart." ------------ Congratulations to all five of our theme writers!

|| NEW STORY || Today's theme story is Driving Lessons by Anne Gagne. "I’m seated in the passenger seat of my old gray Prius teaching Zahra how to drive. She is in the driver’s seat intently watching the traffic light, waiting for the moment it turns green. I sit quietly so I don’t disturb her concentration. She’s wearing a black blouse with long sleeves and black pants on this hot summer day; her headscarf is absent. I’ve known her long enough to know that she wears a headscarf only when she wants to. 'It’s not for religion,' she’s told me before, stopping short of telling me why she sometimes wears it. I’m wearing a short skirt and a tank top in light colors. Despite our different appearances, I feel a strong emotional kinship with her." ------------ Read the full story or catch up on any you may have missed at the link in our bio. . . . #herstryblg #herstryblginterviews #shewrites #womenwrite #writelife #writersofig #writersofinstagram #writersofinsta #writingcommunity #bloomyellow #bookstagram #writersofbookstagram #writeaway #amwriting #amreading #womenblogger #womenpreneur #writtenword #shereads #girlswrite #thefutureisfemale #writinglife #amwriting #writtenword #babeswhowrite #petitejoys #bookish #storytelling #tellyourstory #thisiswhatafeministlookslike
|| NEW STORY || The next story in our Keep Moving theme is Born to Run by Heather Bartos: "It is a beautiful, crystalline Saturday morning, early, 8:00 a.m. I pull on my lilac-colored capri pants, the ones with the pocket for my phone so I can listen to my music. I put on my spongy, perfect black socks and the running shoes I love so much, cushioned from every sidewalk crack by a substance like clouds. And then I’m out the door." ------------ Visit our website to read the rest. . . . #herstryblg #herstryblginterviews #shewrites #womenwrite #writelife #writersofig #writersofinstagram #writersofinsta #writingcommunity #bloomyellow #bookstagram #writersofbookstagram #writeaway #amwriting #amreading #womenblogger #womenpreneur #writtenword #shereads #girlswrite #thefutureisfemale #writinglife #amwriting #writtenword #babeswhowrite #petitejoys #bookish #storytelling #tellyourstory #thisiswhatafeministlookslike
|| NEW STORY || The second story in April's Keep Moving theme is Perpetual Motion by Diane Burley. "I build up speed as my blades dig into the ice. Cold air stings my face the faster I go, but I don’t care. My pre-teen brain disconnects from my body and dreams my big thoughts of having that cute boy in math smile at me, coming up with a snappy comeback to my sixth-grade nemesis, or being a reporter like Woodward and Bernstein. The Dutch Waltz plays over the loudspeaker and while moving forward on my right foot, I lean into a strong inside edge, and position the heel of my left blade near the right, to transfer my weight onto a left back inside edge. The Mohawk. Forward, backward—I am flying, and I can be anything." ------------ Visit the link in our bio to read the rest. . . . #herstryblg #herstryblginterviews #shewrites #womenwrite #writelife #writersofig #writersofinstagram #writersofinsta #writingcommunity #bloomyellow #bookstagram #writersofbookstagram #writeaway #amwriting #amreading #womenblogger #womenpreneur #writtenword #shereads #girlswrite #thefutureisfemale #writinglife #amwriting #writtenword #babeswhowrite #petitejoys #bookish #storytelling #tellyourstory #thisiswhatafeministlookslike

There are just a few days left to submit your story for consideration in our June theme, Coming of Age. Submissions are due Wednesday, May 1. We often can only see our coming of age stories in retrospect, not as they are happening to us. Those moments that flung us over the line from childhood to adult. Some of them were gentle, love filled moments and others caused us deep, maybe still resonating pain. In June we want those coming of age moments, that step out of childhood. Stories may interpret the theme however you'd like, although they must be true and about you. We pay $20 per accepted piece, and the $3 reading fee helps our work stay sustainable. Selected stories will be published in late June.

|| NEW STORY || Today we're sharing our latest story, Trust by Carol Ann Wilson. Enjoy this preview: "When I was eight years old, many decades ago now, I learned there were different kinds of dirty. We were new to the mountains, my family and I, renting a cabin at a small, rustic resort where the ghost town of Bakerville used to be, near Loveland Pass. Down the creek a ways, lived an old man we called Pops. At least we thought of him as old, with his pudgy frame, poorly shaved face, saggy skin, and well-worn clothes. Pops would come around to the picnic area and play his harmonica for my brother, sister, and me. He would also perform magic tricks and give us silly names. Stump-a-Doodle-and-Bunch was one. He made us laugh as he entertained and teased us. We liked and trusted him because he seemed to care about us." ------------ Visit the link in our bio to read the rest. . . . #herstryblg #herstryblginterviews #shewrites #womenwrite #writelife #writersofig #writersofinstagram #writersofinsta #writingcommunity #bloomyellow #bookstagram #writersofbookstagram #writeaway #amwriting #amreading #womenblogger #womenpreneur #writtenword #shereads #girlswrite #thefutureisfemale #writinglife #amwriting #writtenword #babeswhowrite #petitejoys #bookish #storytelling #tellyourstory #thisiswhatafeministlookslike

|| NEW STORY || Today we're sharing our newest story, Nashville via Denver by Pam Anderson. Here's a preview: "I stood in front of the gate, but the Delta screen didn’t make any sense. Why wouldn’t the airline have cleared out the Denver flight if the Nashville flight was due to board in the next 10 minutes? I looked for any indication that the departure gate had been changed; I found none. And then slowly, slowly, quickly, the way gentle dusk transforms into darkened night, I looked at the boarding pass on my phone, looked at the flight number on the screen, and realized that I had made a huge mistake when booking the flight. The mistake was one thing; what the mistake represented was another." ------------ Visit the link in our bio to read the full story. . . . #herstryblg #herstryblginterviews #shewrites #womenwrite #writelife #writersofig #writersofinstagram #writersofinsta #writingcommunity #bloomyellow #bookstagram #writersofbookstagram #writeaway #amwriting #amreading #womenblogger #womenpreneur #writtenword #shereads #girlswrite #thefutureisfemale #writinglife #amwriting #writtenword #babeswhowrite #petitejoys #bookish #storytelling #tellyourstory #thisiswhatafeministlookslike

|| NEW STORY || This week's story is out now! Today we're sharing Lithromancer by Shelley Gaske. Here's a preview: " It wasn’t cool to like the Backstreet Boys while attending high school in the late 1990s, and this may still be true today. But I wasn’t cool. I didn’t care to get jiggy with it or weep to 'Candle in the Wind.' The odes to drugs from Third Eye Blind and Marcy Playground were boring. I didn’t give any real shits about Lilith Fair’s tepid lineup, though I still went, quietly rolling my eyes through 'Adia by Sarah McLaughlin." ------------ Read the full story at the link in our bio. . . . #herstryblg #herstryblginterviews #shewrites #womenwrite #writelife #writersofig #writersofinstagram #writersofinsta #writingcommunity #bloomyellow #bookstagram #writersofbookstagram #writeaway #amwriting #amreading #womenblogger #womenpreneur #writtenword #shereads #girlswrite #thefutureisfemale #writinglife #amwriting #writtenword #babeswhowrite #petitejoys #bookish #storytelling #tellyourstory #thisiswhatafeministlookslike
Interested in writing historical fiction? Our workshop with bestselling author Lauren Willig is happening Saturday at 11am CST. There's still time to sign up! We'll discuss the various definitions and sub-genres of historical fiction, researching your topic, when to stop researching your topic, balancing history and story, dealing with dialogue, and anticipating reader biases. If you've ever dreamed of trotting down Rotton Row exchanging quips with a Regency rake, hiding out with the French Resistance in World War II, or hanging out with the archers at Agincourt, we'll talk about strategies to bring those stories-- and many, many more-- to life.

It's only April, but summer will be here before you know it. Join us in July for a 7-week short story intensive with HerStry's Editor-in-Chief Julia Nusbaum. We'll meet on Wednesday evenings from 7-9pm CST. Writing a short story doesn’t happen in one session. It takes multiple drafts to get it exactly right, to create characters that come to life for the reader and a world they can’t stop thinking about. In this seven week course we will work on a single short story from conception to submission ready. The seven week session will include generative brainstorming sessions, short story craft talks, multiple workshops for feedback from fellow writers, and detailed line by line feedback and edits from your instructor. Plus, we’ll talk about submission venues, cover letters, and when to know if your story is ‘finished.’ Space is limited.

|| NEW STORY || Our latest story is out now! Today we're sharing Bedside Manner by Andrea Cavedo. Enjoy a preview: "We’re a few hours in when something starts to go wrong with the epidural. Not all at once, but a creeping awareness of sensation starts to tug at my attention as I lie there and look at the trees outside, and read, and make small talk with my husband. At first, I ignore it. But then I start to get nervous." ------------ Visit the link in our bio to read the full story. . . . #herstryblg #herstryblginterviews #shewrites #womenwrite #writelife #writersofig #writersofinstagram #writersofinsta #writingcommunity #bloomyellow #bookstagram #writersofbookstagram #writeaway #amwriting #amreading #womenblogger #womenpreneur #writtenword #shereads #girlswrite #thefutureisfemale #writinglife #amwriting #writtenword #babeswhowrite #petitejoys #bookish #storytelling #tellyourstory #thisiswhatafeministlookslike

|| NEW STORY || The fourth story in our Second Chances theme is Friendship Lost--And Found by Carol E. Anderson. Enjoy this preview: "I leapt from the car, Bible in hand, and burst through the door of the West Chicago Baptist church. 'Slow down,' my mother shouted, as I descended the stairs to my Sunday School classroom and flung open the door. I didn’t care about the message for the day, but I couldn’t wait to see my best friend, Judy Wesman." ------------ Keep reading at the link in our bio, and catch up on any stories you may have missed. . . . #herstryblg #herstryblginterviews #shewrites #womenwrite #writelife #writersofig #writersofinstagram #writersofinsta #writingcommunity #bloomyellow #bookstagram #writersofbookstagram #writeaway #amwriting #amreading #womenblogger #womenpreneur #writtenword #shereads #girlswrite #thefutureisfemale #writinglife #amwriting #writtenword #babeswhowrite #petitejoys #bookish #storytelling #tellyourstory #thisiswhatafeministlookslike
|| NEW STORY || Next up in March's Second Chances theme is One More Round by Amy Simonson. “'I’m done,' says Leigh, her voice full of defeat. But she’s angry. There’s always anger. I heave a sigh, and my shoulders slump. 'I think I am, too.' My eyes are puffy and red, my nose feels like it’s clogged with cement. I need some Advil. And a drink." ------------ Visit the link in our bio to keep reading. . . . #herstryblg #herstryblginterviews #shewrites #womenwrite #writelife #writersofig #writersofinstagram #writersofinsta #writingcommunity #bloomyellow #bookstagram #writersofbookstagram #writeaway #amwriting #amreading #womenblogger #womenpreneur #writtenword #shereads #girlswrite #thefutureisfemale #writinglife #amwriting #writtenword #babeswhowrite #petitejoys #bookish #storytelling #tellyourstory #thisiswhatafeministlookslike
|| NEW STORY || The second story in our Second Chances theme is Anonymous by Natalie Whitaker. Here's a peek: "I thought, for the split-second between my brain recognizing that I was being called out to speak and my mouth automatically responding, that I should give a fake name. I always had an inexplicable liking for 'Veronica.'” ------------ Keep reading at the link in our bio, and stay tuned for new stories coming all week. . . . #herstryblg #herstryblginterviews #shewrites #womenwrite #writelife #writersofig #writersofinstagram #writersofinsta #writingcommunity #bloomyellow #bookstagram #writersofbookstagram #writeaway #amwriting #amreading #womenblogger #womenpreneur #writtenword #shereads #girlswrite #thefutureisfemale #writinglife #amwriting #writtenword #babeswhowrite #petitejoys #bookish #storytelling #tellyourstory #thisiswhatafeministlookslike
|| NEW STORY || This week we're publishing stories from our March theme, Second Chances. First up is Specific Instructions on How to Live a Successful Life by Joy Juliet Gallagher. Enjoy this excerpt: "The week I got back home to New York after spending my junior year of college in England, two unexpected things happened. I got a phone call offering me an internship in Manhattan that I’d been rejected for months earlier and my dad was diagnosed with a brain tumor." ------------ Read the full story at the link in our bio, and stay tuned for new stories all week. . . . #herstryblg #herstryblginterviews #shewrites #womenwrite #writelife #writersofig #writersofinstagram #writersofinsta #writingcommunity #bloomyellow #bookstagram #writersofbookstagram #writeaway #amwriting #amreading #womenblogger #womenpreneur #writtenword #shereads #girlswrite #thefutureisfemale #writinglife #amwriting #writtenword #babeswhowrite #petitejoys #bookish #storytelling #tellyourstory #thisiswhatafeministlookslike
You know it's Spring when I take candles off the mantel and add flowers. My peony tree is doing the most right now, so I had to bring some in! And yes, I decorate with knitting needles and crochet hooks. 🙃
May sunshine surround you each new day. And may smiles and love never be far away. -Catherine Pulsifer 💛 #sunshine #daffodils #springday #narcissus #happinessis #flowers #flowerstagram #flowerslovers #instaflower #petal_perfection #blooming_petals #signsofspring #lookwhosback #springtime #mynewengland #onlyinconnecticut #bestofthenutmegstate #yes_busa #youaremysunshine #ivebeenwaiting #naturelovers #springvibes #ctvisit #springinnewengland #floweroftheday #flowerpower #yellow #yellowflower #connecticut_lovers #bloomyellow
I don’t know what I’d do without Spring. Without her color and wonder. Without her quiet persistence finally budding into sight. Without her earthy vibes and fresh new ‘do. I don’t know what I’d do if she skipped this one out. Let the doom and chill of winter take over forever. Steamrolled March, April, and May for the suffocating heat of summer. I don’t know what I’d do without her after-dinner glow. Without her subdued surprises rising from the dirt. Without her unmatched magnetism pulling hidden hope from my heart. I don’t know what I’d do without her bright eyes and rested head. Without her California lilacs exploding like fireworks on the hillsides all the way home. Without her second chances for gardens and growth. I don’t know what I’d do without her sporadic sprinkles or bright blue scrub jays. Without her wide-open windows and gusts of discovery pressing against the glass. I don’t know what I’d do without Spring, for she tells me year after year, in her gentle but indisputable way, that she is—that I am—vibrant and alive.

Mothers have a lot to say about mothering. Trust us, we know. We’re dedicating the month of May to telling those motherhood stories. Don’t sugarcoat it. We want the messy parts of mom life. The up-all-night, covered-in-poop, haven’t-showered-in-two-weeks parts. And we want the parts you love, too. The first words, the proud parent moments, the thing you never imagined. Or maybe you don’t want to be a mom, or aren’t able. We want those stories too. The struggles that have come with it, or the freedom. Submissions are open through April 1, and accepted stories will be published in late May.

Join us June 1 for a brand new creative nonfiction workshop with Emily McArdle! Every day, different personas come out of us depending on many factors, including who we are interacting with and where we are. We should bring many versions of ourselves to the page too. This is an interactive workshop based on the many ways to utilize the first person narrator and strategies to find and shape the different voices inside you. While directed at creative nonfiction, this workshop is also useful for fiction and poetry writers.

|| NEW STORY || Our newest story is Tight Grip by Amy Cates. Check out this preview, and read the full essay on our website: "The amygdala assigns emotional significance to clutter I can’t throw away. To souvenirs and books throughout our house. To clawhammers, backpacks, yard signs we hang on pegboards. To ordinary places we visit again and again. This precious tiny thing deep inside my head also helps form shiny new memories. I want to hold on to my amygdala for a long time. Keep it healthy and functioning. Feed it. Maintain it. That sort of thing." ------------ Visit the link in our bio to keep reading. . . . #herstryblg #herstryblginterviews #shewrites #womenwrite #writelife #writersofig #writersofinstagram #writersofinsta #writingcommunity #bloomyellow #bookstagram #writersofbookstagram #writeaway #amwriting #amreading #womenblogger #womenpreneur #writtenword #shereads #girlswrite #thefutureisfemale #writinglife #amwriting #writtenword #babeswhowrite #petitejoys #bookish #storytelling #tellyourstory #thisiswhatafeministlookslike
