Ordered some out of print children’s books for my daughter’s birthday and they sent me this instead. While I’m super annoyed I don’t have the gifts I intended to give my kiddo, this is honestly pretty dope.

During the fall, I hang in ASU flag every Saturday, and this morning I went to take it down and jokingly saluted it first and didn’t realize my neighbor was walking his dog behind me 😑😑😑

An accidental text led to me getting to say something about True Grit, one of my favorite novels of all time, on @johnwaddy.bsky.social’s awesome Tantalizing Texas podcast.
I show up around minute 41, but you should listen to the whole thing!

Your second draft rewrite suggestion (along with weasel words) done changed my life, Matt! No exaggeration!
When I wrote REFUSE TO BE DONE, I figured where everyone would throw the book across the room or ask for their money back was when I suggested the total rewrite second draft—which I actually think might be the most important part of my process? It's been so great to see it work for so many people!
Also, I was truly horrified the first time I heard @mdbell79.bsky.social talk about doing the second draft as a total rewrite but I am sorry (?) to report it really really works and I actually enjoy it.
