Everything I try to type about today sounds placating and placid. So I will keep it simple.

Good night ✌️

My worst bookish bad habit is probably that, when I’m reading hard covers, I only use the dust jacket flaps as a bookmark 👀😃

when i taught a writing workshop i told students to go to a bookstore and watch ppl browse. “what happens? you pick up a book. you read the front, the back, and a few sentences of the first page? right? that’s why. anyone can tell by the first paragraph whether the book will work for them or not."
For the writers upset that one short fiction editor can tell within the first few sentences if a story is a "no," I have even worse news for you:
This is nearly all short fiction editors.

Authors! Submitting your story to an open call? As someone reading through 400+ submissions for an anthology, some tips:
Opening paragraph/sentence: I can tell within the first few sentences if a story is a 'no.'
'Maybes' turn to 'no's' by the end of the first paragraph. Brutal, but it's true.
