About a year and a half ago, @jennalevine.bsky.social put me onto tracking the time I spend doing writing/editorial. This because so frequently we focus on word count goals in writing, but sometimes time spent is more telling (especially when you hit editing, which is so important.)

Have you ever gotten so mad about the content of an all hands meeting that you took a 30 min break to hand scribble a villanelle about how much you hate AI?

If you see the words 'irrevocable', 'in perpetuity', 'formats not yet invented', 'net after costs', 'all rights', you're selling every damn thing you could make money from as an author for a one time payment, or in this case, a promise.
Signing this gives the publisher money meant for you forever.

Behold, if you will, the...astonishing...contract from Shadow Light Press. A rolling 10-year term...payment on profit (but only after costs are recouped)...appropriation of the author's universe if they can't continue the series...and more www.reddit.com/r/Progressio...

I'd like to think Dorothy Zbornak is very smug tonight in the Golden Girl house.
JUST IN: It appears Democrats will win the mayor's office in Miami.
This would be a flip from GOP.
It's not final yet, but Democrat Eileen Higgins is up 61% to 39% as the first 23K ballots are counted. That's *the majority of votes cast*, & Election Day is no less Democratic today.
More soon!
