Early March 2026: 4 Goals Accomplished
It's early March and I've now accomplished my 4th writing goal for the year of 2026. Before diving into the behind-the-scenes of it... why not tell you up front what that accomplishment was? I was published in a 2nd publication for this year. Published in Helix Literary Magazine out of Central Connecticut State University. You can read it for free right now!

Congratulations!
Congratulations! Not a fan of whiskey, but great haiku! :D
I love this, sir. I'm just finding your art tonight for the first time. Your name amuses me too. I might have to listen to Dark Side of The Moon as I experience more of your stories (better instrumentals to read by, IMO, than The Wall.) My name is Bill. I've subscribed to you. It's a pleasure. ⚡️💙⚡️
sad I missed this but glad that it ended up atop the podium so I could revisit it. great win!
Congratulations on your win! 🎉 I wish I read it sooner. Great haiku.
Well said, deeply felt. Congratulations on the win.
Wooohooooo congratulations on your win! 🎉💖🎊🎉💖🎊
Congratulations! It’s 10 in the morning here (and summer), and despite that, I now feel like a whiskey.
'Kindles behind the ribs' is such the perfect line for this! Super congrats, Pixel! 🤩
Ooh, I love this, Pixel, and I love whiskey, too! Congratulations on your win❣
congrats - don't just stop at one!
Delicious; Congrats!
Fuck yeah. Make mine bourbon (Basil Hayden Toast, preferably). Congrats on your win.
Striking, clever work - congratulations on the win!
The false warmth of alcohol. nicely done.
This warms my black heart, sweet Pixel.
