I once asked a bookseller at a large indie store how many people would have to buy a book for it to get the attention of the store buyer and cause an additional order and they said: Three.
I see some book piracy discourse, and, to make a positive argument in favor of buying books, your marginal ability to influence what books get published and support the careers of writers you like is massive compared to most other forms of media.

I’m all for this. I’ve been BEGGING for something like this. Waited for Criterion to expand outside of the US and they never did.

I was dreading the editing stage of the manuscript but I’m actually having a lot of fun? Another pleasant surprise in the writing journey.
It’s still (relatively) early days, but more and more I realise the conventional wisdom out there is heaped in neurosis and mythicising the suffering and slog

I joined Threads (as my pen name) and it’s a ghost town with the occasional ‘recommended for you: AI slop’ shaped tumbleweed.
Bluesky definitely feels way more active, despite apparently having a smaller user base.

oh hey speaking of: happy pub day to @qntm.org, whose ANTIMEMETICS DIVISION is *the* most brain-bendingly playful piece of fiction in years. A text that tries at times to erase itself while you're reading it, that challenges every rule of storytelling, and does so with in-fiction reasons. Genius.
