Complex art shouldn't go down smooth, but besides that, a romance reader wants to experience the story's highs and lows. A horror reader can't get a sense of dread from a summary.
"Make it easy to summarize" is the suggestion from a non-reader trying to solve books for someone who likes to read.

Very much worth a read.
The long-running ideological war on libraries, education, and government workers is not separate from AI boosterism. It is the same ideological war on human knowledge and expertise. In some cases AI is being used to directly supercharge this effort:

It's hard to believe that The Haunting of Wounded Birds will take to the wing in just seven days! This one owns my heart in so many ways and I hope readers love Jackdaw as much as I do.

Coffin Moon is out today.
Thanks to everyone that's reviewed the book, preordered it, told their friends about it. We had a sold out event at Hollywood Theatre last night, and Broadway Books sold every single copy of Coffin Moon they'd brought. I'm so lucky. Thank you all.

I'd love to get a few more adds on Goodreads for The Haunting of Wounded Birds or another pre-order. If coming-of-age folk horror, old rituals, dark forests, haunted boys and black birds makes your heart beat faster, can you help me out? #booksky

Not every time you pick up an instrument is a concert, not every meal you cook is a formal dinner, not every story you write is supposed to be a performance, either. Most of the flavor is in the practice. Make a mess today

This is real (at least in the US). It's not one of those stupid things where you put an idiotic statement on your FB page declaring something illegal. I just checked it on FB settings and it had a list of every website I visited recently. Fucking weird. The future kind of sucks.
UM, I had NO idea facebook was tracking everything I did on the internet. EVERYTHING. I have diligently blocked and followed all ways to try to stop this messed up social media from taking from me, but this is the final straw… THESE JERKS! AGH! [screenshots on how to do it in the comments]

The dirty little open secret to writing is that no one will ever know, nor care, how many drafts of a thing were written - people will only ever care about the crafted thing, and will, despite all knowledge to the contrary, assume it came out fully formed that way. No one thinks about shit drafts.
