The Humble Home for Wayward Words…

Thank you to all the wonderful and faithful writers and readers of WotWU for sticking with this idiosyncratic publication despite my recent benign neglect. The uniqueness and beauty within is a reflection of you all, and I am honored to be a part of your creation and to bathe in your reflected light.

Many thanks also to WotWU’s wonderful editors Adelia Ritchie (who is on sabbatical/vacation/spirit-quest for the month), John Griswold, and KS Copeland.

What follows are the latest stories that y’all have submitted to WotWU.

Please check the main WotWU page since I may have inadvertantly missed some amazing writers and their works. If I’ve left you out, give me a shout and I’ll rectify my error (and I apologize in advance).
