I figured embracing my age made more sense than chasing artificial youth…

They have people who do their makeup and hair. That means they never have to look themselves in the eyes in a mirror and see that they've sold their souls...

As a fan of both you and @cmpriest.bsky.social, this makes me angry on your behalf. You both have written books that I loved and wish I could read again for the first time. If the issue is the “business” and bean-counting, tell the suits to eff off.

Thinking about it, my go-to for background sounds when writing is an app like Portal or Noizio. Or, I'll go with jazz or classical that doesn't have vocals if music appeals.

If I started trying to craft playlists for my stories or characters, I'd get even less writing done....

Carob...

Why'd it have to be carob?

Just seeing the word all these years later, and I can still taste it....

The parents for Gen-Xers were evil....

You might be pleasantly surprised by their reactions if attending were an option. I'm not *quite* retiree age, but I feel that my love of spec-fic/sff/horror has only increased over time.

Some of us get weirder with age...

I grew up in a rural area and we didn’t have a phone line. Also couldn’t afford to run a new trunk line. During the summers, I arranged sleepovers with my friends by sending letters. This was the mid-1980s in Arizona. I still write letters to my nieces and nephews.
