I'm honored to have had one of my photos in Susurrus magazine nominated for a #BestoftheNet award. This is quite unexpected. I don't think the winners are announced for a few months, so I won't know the results for a while. But still ... The photo is shown below.

Understanding Birdsong, beautiful CNF by
@youbigtalker.bsky.social is nominated for a #BestoftheNet award! Great news for a great writer.
I'm lucky enough to work with Eleni as part of the secretive #Atelier23 #writingworkshop so I get to see some of the behind the scenes creative magic.
ICYMI: Understanding Birdsong--my piece exploring how both memory loss and recovery shapes relationships--is in the beautifully curated Turning leaf Journal. Thank you to everyone who has read and shared their own Nana experiences 🥹
Excerpts from @youbigtalker.bsky.social's "Understanding Birdsong," published in Volume 3, Issue 1. We paired this piece with artwork found in the public domain.
