spent 40 min this morning trying to get the ugly AI popup to disappear from Word
made me think fondly of Scrivener... who would never do such a thing to me... I might have to make The Switch...

Congratulations to @asuenglish.bsky.social MFA alum @haydenmcasey13.bsky.social, whose debut novel A HARVEST OF FURIES is out today! (True story: in his last MFA semester, Hayden told me he was going to draft this novel in three chunks, delivering me 22,000 words per thesis meeting... and then did!)
MY FIRST NOVEL IS OUT TODAY!!!!! & they have it at barnes & noble?!? (& lots of lovely independent bookshops as well!!)
I have been trying to do this for 10 years & dreaming about it for 10 more—surreal moment!

I am applying to so many jobs. I am a job-applying machine. I am a sleek efficient mechanized typist of statements and filler-inner of forms. no job is safe from me. I am a consummate professional. I am vigilant for new postings. the void into which I fire off applications is becoming weary of me.

Just finished an ARC of @haydenmcasey13.bsky.social's A HARVEST OF FURIES, and if you like retellings of Greek tragedies and unusual story structures, it's a pretty striking take on the Oresteia. #booksky

there comes a point in every novel draft where the end is in sight and the words are just, like, falling out. I open the draft and a new paragraph just emerges from the ether. I scroll down and there are three more pages filled. name a better drug (impossible)!!!
