You said it much better than I did. Thank you.

Thank you!

I pity those weeds.

Fahrenheit is a genius name!

Plus there's a lot of money in funerals--not to mention collecting premiums for insurance you are going to deny covering. Remember, we are no longer human beings. We are human resources. That little language change changed everything.

But I worked so hard on the symbol vocabularies for each character...I learned years ago that if I find myself futzing with a sentence, a scene, a chapter more than three times trying to make it work, that's code for "it's never going to work; delete now."

What a great choice. An awesome--in the old sense-- and gorgeous work of art.

I want this for you. I want it for me, too. (Your title is intriguing. Where can I learn more?)

New to Bluesky. Thanks for this.

Could not agree more. The joy of writing is being part of the community and sharing the wonder of the right words coming together. My books would not exist without other writers, editors, artists, and production people from cover design to printing. Collaboration is a gift.

Always happy news! Congratulations!

I am looking at the book waiting slyly on my shelf at very easy reach...Thanks for the rec!

Amy Tan is a genius. I'd forgotten about Kitchen God's Wife. That would be a great beginning, I'm sure. Thanks!

Thank you for the recommendations! These all look intriguing. I'll investigate further.

I love Gothic anything. My novels are Gothic. Mexican Gothic goes at the top of my list. Thank you!
