Bringing in an associate editor can be a bit nervewracking, but she's looking good so far and we'll be able to take on more clients, so yay!

This time of year it's so hot and laid back that I just want to collapse on the couch with a CJ Cherryh novel and relax, but noooo I have work booked until April. I'm not complaining but I'd rather be in a pool all day.

If you want to listen to youtube ad free on your phone, the Brave browser is perfect. It even keeps working on a black locked screen. White noise, lullabies, a sports game, you name it. It's perfect.

Do not fall for the lumberjack. Be impervious to his rough-fingered charms. Go back to your high powered job in the city and date someone with money and a small cosy mansion in the Hamptons.
A reminder to anyone trapped in an airport due to weather conditions right now:

You have a right to stay in a nearby picturesque village while the airline sorts out a rebooked flight for the 27th. They also have to provide a widowed lumberjack for you to fall in love with.

Know your rights.

This is not a good time of year to hit a brick wall with my editing. I just have health issues that came out of nowhere and sleep issues and an uppity cat and I can't deal. Please send ice cream and a Todd Agnew CD stat.

How did Tolkien write so much?

The answer is he didn't have two-factor authentication for every aspect of his life

Starting to see lots of year end posts about # of submission, rejection, acceptance, etc.

Don’t compare your year to theirs. Everyone is climbing their own mountain. Just keep moving forward. You’re doing just fine.

So hard when your friend dies and his birthday comes up on Facebook. I miss his owl videos, his silly bird gifs, his Electric Callboy music videos. I miss the jokes and the rants.

Annual reminder:

Die Hard is about using impossibly limited resources to defend a tower from foreign invaders.

Die Hard is a Hanukkah movie.

Just paid less than 3 dollars on Amazon Kindle for Terry Pratchett's biography. This is great!

Finished round two of edits of a nice YA steampunk novel and now I have an hour of free time before I must try to sleep.

Yes, this....
I don't *want* a "town square" or a "debating forum" or "to hear all voices". I just want somewhere where I can talk with my friends about Doctor Who or the Beach Boys or whatever, easily avoid horrible people I don't want to talk to, and know that my friends are safe.

Please tell your kids, every damn day if necessary, that chatGPT is not a goddamn search engine and you shouldn’t believe a word it says. Tell the adults too, but it’s especially imperative to inoculate kids against this
Well this is grim

As NYPD officials boasted of the resources expended finding the killer of a corporate CEO, another sidewalk murder the same week, of a migrant teen, has not received the same treatment. hellgatenyc.com/two-manhatta...
Two Very Different Manhattan Murder Investigations
The NYPD spent countless hours and resources searching for a CEO’s killer, but has made little evident progress on the fatal stabbing of a migrant teen.

Copyediting the last ten pages of a book is less nerve-wracking than the first ten, but for some reason it drags on for much longer. So I'm procrastinating on Bluesky.

Hey, writers! Just want to put this on your radar. There's a rash of new accounts here trying to scam writers by pretending to be book marketers. They are generally not legit. You can recognize them because:
