Guys did you know if you check your email a million times a day it does NOT get agents to write back any faster? My continued experiments bear this finding out.

Received a 'no' from a prestigious #litmag saying my piece "interested them more than most," which is so so funny.
Like, this was better than most of the crap we get but still no. 🤭🪭

Usually I listen to audiobooks in the car only but this beauty of a mystery by @amyjordanbooks.bsky.social had me listening at all hours, the audio equivalent of an absolute page turner.

Musk is censoring the following information: The US Social Security commissioner is consulting with the Justice Department about shutting down the agency.
“This move would immediately begin halting benefits payments for millions of Americans.”

Holy guacamole 🥑 I won a MD State Arts Council Grants for Artists! I'm so used to getting "no's" from grants/ fellowships that I had to read the email 5 times before it sunk in. It's $2500 to support living expenses for artists and I won it for my fiction writing. Every little bit counts!
