yeah, that’s oyster dressing, except instead of sausage, oysters. Amy’s dad used to make it every year, and we’ve picked up the tradition. It’s more subtle than I would have expected before I tried it, but pretty danged tasty.

for my WIP i am making up names of several imaginary bands, musicians, etc and i am rigorously vetting they are all unused NOW but worried some might be claimed before the book sees the light of day

Woohoo! What a pleasant surprise!

a suggestion, if i might - you can write up several posts worth of text, take a screenshot, and add the actual text as "alt text" for the image - this makes it accessible for people with visual impairment (or just small screens) and also makes the full text searchable.

Jay and Derek are both music lovers, and eventually make a mix for each other. You can listen to it (Jay won't know if you skip the very long heavy metal songs, so he won't silently judge you. I promise. But he swears they are worth it.)

Because times are hard: I tried to make this book free for the month of November and mostly failed, but it is free on Kobo and at B&N with coupon BNPTRUST100 and if you get it somewhere else I will 5x match the price with food bank donations (up to $1000, which we are currently nowhere near)

but I have tried repeatedly to find it so I could link to it, without success.

I am sure I read, sometime in the past 3-4 years, an interview with him in which he was asked who he might refuse to represent & part of the answer was someone with a pattern of persistent criminal behavior, which was understood to EXCLUDE That Predator Guy, which I thought was very fucking telling—

I wonder what that might look like at a neurological level, but it seems like it might be much harder to produce the effect under controlled settings.

the common denominator there is doing something else unrelated but not cognitively intense, not thinking about the problem (biking, showering etc) and then having an answer arrive spontaneously into my conscious mind. I jokingly describe it as "my hind brain working on a problem without me"

This is fascinating thanks for sharing! It seems quite different from another kind of insight I experience (working on problems over a longer span of time, but in different domains: plotting fiction and songwriting, but also coding software and thinking through interaction design problem)
