Favorite Pieces From May
I’ve listed my favorite piece from each author below. If anyone wants to read along with me but can’t go at this pace (fair!) I’d encourage you to check this monthly post!
1. A. P. Howell

Check-In
I try to be transparent with my energy levels since this is a pretty big undertaking! And I’ve realized I do need a longer break than the two weeks I took in April. I think this makes sense, though, I made it to basically halfway through the year before needing a longer break.
So, I’m taking a month off. I will restart my reviews on July 2nd, and my next Writer Spotlight will go up July 9th. Thank you everyone for following along, and I’m excited to come back to you refreshed and ready to read lots more short fiction! In the meantime, check out my previous Spotlights if you haven’t already!
