It's almost newsletter time! Since my spring book is Little Miss Petty, I'm adding a new feature called Acts of Pettiness. In addition to being the first to know, I'm also giving away an audio code for Better Get to Livin' for one lucky reader. Link's in my bio.

Hi, Bluesky, sorry it's been a while. Things have been a lot. BTW, did you know I'm moving to California in 2026? True story. If you read last month's newsletter, you know that already.

I am lightly horrified by how many people have now looked up their books and found out their publishers (who often were required contractually!!!!) just... didn't register the copyrights on books. Not all of them! Just sporadically!
This is not just one publisher, I've seen all the big ones now.

Today is the day authors are learning how many of their publishers straight up blew off registering copyright and I feel like that deserves a class action suit of its own if it costs everyone their settlement money from the Anthropic suit... 😒🤬

Hi authors! Please remember to file a claim!
AI advocates have warned that if every author in the class action filed a claim, it would "financially ruin" the entire industry.

I can tell you this: Gyno told me it would be “a pinch.” It was far more than a pinch, and then I had 24 hours of severe cramping.
And I’m fairly stoic when it comes to physical pain.
