repost this if an editor has ever saved you from yourself
An actual hot take: Too many authors are afraid of editors watering down their voice or whatever and not afraid enough of editors letting you put any old slop on the page.

I celebrated prime day by ordering 5 books from Bookshop.org. Then, oops, remembered some other books I wanted and placed a second order. Still one day left for free shipping, so might order more tomorrow. Yay!

I used to write for the confessions, as did many of my friends. In addition to stories, each magazine had different types of essays, columns, and household hints. One by one, they ceased publication, but until then, they were great paying markets, especially for beginners.

Depends on where you live, I guess. I've found excellent books. 3 examples: The Wager, A People's History of The United States, and a biography of Peggy Guggenheim.

Just listened to my first episode. I really like the short format. Makes it easy to fit them into odd moments of down time. The scripts are streamlined, not bogged down in pointless speculation, but still include all the relevant facts. Good work.

Actually, Girl scouts was a help for me. Campfire stew, pocket stew, toad in the hole, walking salad.

Who pays for shipping? Not me. I buy printer ink from Office Depot or Best Buy, diabetic supplies from Diabetic Warehouse, all with free shipping. 1 or 2 day delivery. Costco also delivers free. Not available in all locations. Keep track of needed supplies and plan ahead.
