I sent what I hope is the last pre-submission draft to the book packager on Monday! It should get a final round of line edits there and then get sent to their literary agent.
I spent the last two days mostly sleeping.

The most Blueskyed I ever got was on Twitter when I expressed interest in a museum exhibit about Alexander the Great and some dude was like, “Sure, I suppose that would be interesting… IF YOU’RE PRO-GENOCIDE”

It's really funny to me that Polidori's vampire book is ALSO about what a creep Byron was.

OK, here's my quick and dirty, un-fact-checked recollection of the sitch in the Swiss chalet where Mary Shelley wrote Frankenstein. She was there with her dude Percy, Byron, Byron's doctor what's-his-name who wrote a vampire novel; and her stepsister Claire, who was obsessed with Byron
del Toro: see, dr frankenstein is actually just recreating the cycle of abuse from his own distant father
Shelley: what?? fuckin hell
Shelley: that's not right!
Shelley: he's a sexy bad boy!
Shelley: he's based on my gay asshole boyfriend byron
Lord Byron [tossing hair]: that's right, he is

I was right about there being more I needed to do on my manuscript. Some of the cuts the editors made left orphaned references. I didn’t catch them when I was addressing the development notes.

It’s not the most important issue here, but, Jesus, the way these guys write is worse than kids’ text messages.

I'm not trying to be mean, but racists who believe Trump betrayed them by being a child molester are not going to embrace the Democratic Party without forcing that party to embrace racism. And the people gained would in no way make up for those lost.

I have thoughts about the use of Byron’s poetry as epigraphs in GDT’s Frankenstein that I should write properly about.
