My alien story is out with @failbettercom ! Thanks again to @rgay , for help with this and for all the great advice I still carry around in my head when I write. Story may also contain: skinned knees, repressed memories, and shag carpet. failbetter.com/content/your-…

I wrote a piece during my thesis year at Purdue about a couple who goes hiking , and my advisor, @rgay ,told me it was a little bland (which it was). She pushed me towards the speculative, I added aliens(!), and it worked!! It just got accepted for publication. Thanks, Roxane!😀
