It is incredibly hard to be a teacher right now. But sometimes I am reminded that it is really really worth it.

TFW: your lit prof mom writes a glowing review of your book, and you know that her “rate your professor” consistently rates her as a tough grader who gives entirely too much reading.

Students now ask Chat to summarize a story so they don't have to read it, then come to class and "discuss" the (usually wrong) summary Chat gave them. In response to this phenomenon, I gave Chat this prompt, got this response, and asked my students to write IN CLASS what was right/wrong.

Warning--awkward self-published #authorsky marketing post for my new novel Fan Base:

There's always that gap between when you publish your novel and when you find out whether it's actually any good. I'm starting--maybe just a little--to exhale.

Agree. I put the following in the front of my self-published novels, but I think it remains completely unclear whether something like this is even sufficient. I don't want my creative (or professional) work stolen. How do I opt out?

Now seems like a good time to reread one of my favorite thought pieces.

What is it like living in Indiana?

A lot of the time it super sucks. But some mornings the sun rises over the river at the edge of my neighborhood, and it’s the most beautiful place in the world.

In the final stretch of revisions/edits... Here's a little teaser, still on pace for early March publication. #WriterSky #AuthorSky (And of course a song to catch the mood).

This podcast is really good. And it’s going to have a great logo that is not this (which I lobbied pretty hard for and was shot down):

I’m assuming the algorithm has been changed. Top results for “Turnaway Study” favor articles critical of study.
