iz writing @isabeljkim - Tumblr Blog

ok so this is a blog

there was definitely a better way to do this than making a tumblr but i like to pretend it is 2012 sometimes.

This is Isabel J. Kim’s writeguy blog. Isabel J. Kim is basically an author slash attorney. Her author website is here and her twitter (for more realtime, crispier updates) is here. Mostly she writes speculative fiction. She has been published in Clarkesworld, Lightspeed, Strange Horizons, and more. She won a 2021 Shirley Jackson Award for her short fiction.

Follow this blog for writing shop talk & some dude and guy screaming into the void (I am the dude and guy screaming into the void)

If your lover lives in Hong Kong and cannot get to Chicago, it will be necessary for you to go to Hong Kong. Perhaps you will spend your life there, and never see Chicago again. And you will, I assure you, as long as space and time divide you from anyone you love, discover a great deal about shipping routes, airlines, earthquake, famine, disease, and war. And you will always know what time it is in Hong Kong, for you love someone who lives there. And love will simply have no choice but to go into battle with space and time and, furthermore, to win.

Hey if I got a copy of sublimation early and I'm not entirely sure if my bookstore fucked up... Am I good to post about it??

you are CLEARED to post about it—I talked with my editor and it turned out that some stores got it a little early but it all goes to first day sales :)
