After 25 overstimulated years, Literal Latte is going on hiatus to walk through leaves, over bridges, and to ponder the imponderables. Oh, and we need to catch up on submissions, so stay tuned for news on a 2020 issue. Who knows what the next 25 will look like for LL!

From Sonny Mehta: “Toni Morrison’s working life was spent in the service of literature: writing books, reading books, editing books, teaching books. I can think of few writers in American letters who wrote with more humanity or with more love for language than Toni.” (1/2)

Great insights about reading/writing #flashfiction from the generous folks at @splitlipthemag. -jg
The flash team @splitlipthemag is reading a lot of subs this weekend & I thought I'd share some reader/editor comments I keep seeing. Most common: This is not yet a story; it is just a (1) description of a place, (2) scene, or (3) character study. There isn't plot/movement/shift.

Campers, what are your strategies for beginning a writing project when you don't know where to start?
@NaNoWriMo I am clueless about what to do? I don't have an outline and /or plot. Can anyone rescue me?

We all get disappointed by poetry rejections. Do not. Bear this in mind: editors are human & imperfect. Editors can have a bad day. Poetry is a matter of taste. Editors can have hundreds, if not 1000s of poems sent. Editors get tired and cross-eyed! Just keep trying one & all👍
