Very happy to have my poem "Observational" in the Maya's Micros feature of The Closed Eye Open. I wrote it at the start of quarantine in 2020, inspired by the strange slowness of empty days in my apartment. Give it a read here: theclosedeyeopen.com/mayas-micros...

Moving from the suburbs to a city with public transportation has been wonderful for a lot of reasons, but one of my favorites is the increase in opportunities for Staring Out The Window And Daydreaming.

So proud and excited to share my flash fiction "The Last Florida Panther" is out today in the South Florida Poetry Journal! Give it a read here:

I’m so thrilled to share that my strange little flash fiction about strange little girlhood is out today in Club Plum! Read “Eleanor Underwater” here: clubplumliteraryjournal.com/miranda-diaz/

Please do not fall into the trap of thinking that a side project should be "useful". The only purpose of a side project is to be enjoyed. Perhaps you enjoy making it, or maybe you enjoy using it once it's finished, but always remember that the joy itself is the goal.

I was lucky enough to be at this panel (just barely, standing room only) and it was amazing!! Super thoughtful and inspiring from all three authors, but I didn’t expect Chuck Tingle’s philosophy to make me so emotional. Love is in fact real

I just read this story by @znnys.bsky.social and it was absolutely fantastic. So immersive and it the setting felt so vivd in such a short work.

I cannot promise my readers that everything I ever write will be amazing, but I CAN promise them that everything I ever write will be something I have actually written and not, for example, a soulless pile of robot puke.

introducing my guinea pig to Literature #aot

I've been saving the first money I earned from writing to spend on something entirely unnecessary and joyful, and yesterday I used it to see Return of the King performed by the SF Symphony. It was absolutely wonderful and I feel like my 12 y/o self would've been very proud (maybe a little jealous).

11/10 recommend, my bird is an adorable writing buddy
