June always tends to be a rather lethargic month, but no matter, because lots of exciting things brightened this month for me!
@topazwinters Hobbit problems are the best problems, tbh. — christina im (@_christinaim) June 25, 2015 On the blog I shared some very exciting publication news—a poem of mine, "Still Life with Broken Hearts", was part of the second issue of -Ology Journal.

Another month has rolled around, and you all know what that means. A new month heralds the arrival of a new Beautiful People feature on the blog! (Of course, it's almost the tail end of the month now, but shhh.)
This month's theme is parents, which works wonderfully for a particular character I've been thinking about. Plus, we readers of YA books are all too aware that parents tend to get shoved aside in lots of stories. While I love good orphan characters as much as the

I've got another publication credit releasing today—on the summer solstice, no less, and in the realm of fiction rather than poetry!  [credit | melyssa anishnabie / via | rose red review website] Those of you familiar with my writing will no doubt know that my fiction and poetry are wildly different beasts.

Weekend Wordfest is the new incarnation of my long-standing feature Fiction Friday here on the blog. Why'd I make the change, you ask? Lately, thanks to the Internet, I've been reading oodles and oodles of earth-shattering poetry that the name 'Fiction Friday' doesn't allow me to spotlight. So I decided that since this is a "my blog my rules" zone, a feature change was in order.
The format of each post will look about the same. Number-wise, I've decided to simply pick up

More exciting publication news to share with you all this month! My poem "Mouth" is in the third issue of the gorgeous Glass Kite Anthology.

GKA was founded by writers Margaret Zhang and Noel Peng—Margaret has actually contributed a poem (and a prose piece) to the lit/art magazine I run, The Teacup Trail, so I can personally vouch for the creative goodness on GKA's masthead. Plus, they've got a whole bunch of amazing staff. Here's a slice of what they're all about: We want works that are on
