The whole "Americans don't know how proper English properly works" thing is bad enough, and numbingly predictable, when certain UK types indulge in it; coming from Americans it's simply pathetic.

So I saw the Faber notice about how they were abandoning full stops after cover quotations. Lads, I understand this from an aesthetic point of view, but I have to tell you that, as an English teacher, it made my eyes bleed.

So I have been inundated with messages because I said this about a writing retreat that would be a bit different - at Bookworm Towers in the shire

IESU MAWR I am underused in this industry

It’s my birthday tomorrow, the stress of seeing your child so ill with no respite is the worst, tonight I’ll be with some of my favourite people at the launch of my 11th book, I told someone else to fuck off and I have painted my front door pink; also, lipstick. Mixed bag: onward, my darlings

This thread is spot on.

It’s exactly the same in the fine arts. My art career tanked once I could no longer fake wellness. If you can’t exhibit regularly, attend private views, travel to see shows and keep on top of publicity, you become largely invisible. So much of it is being seen to be seen.
I would like to express something in no uncertain terms about the publishing industry re availability and I would really like this carved in stone. Carers and chronically ill writers are structurally disadvantaged in prestige economies. This is brutal and rarely said out loud. I need more support

I know all the words used individually, but seeing them all put together in that sentence doesn’t make sense to me.

So Saving Lucia. I felt this was a book that should have been an important book - not because I’m important, but because it looks at genuinely new things and is also adjacent to scholarship on Joyce. I’ve felt it as grief but I’ve found a way to heal. It was a text in the DPhil literature review -
