That said, I *will* be on the first panel at ConCurrent, the one-day Worldcon Alternative event taking place Thursday, Aug 14, at the ACT Theatre/Union Arts Center. It’ll be a fun conversation, so come if you can.

Did I also tell you that I'm working on another project?

Also...Uh...

How do I format this in Word? Is Times New Roman double spaced still a thing? New Courier? Single space but separating paragraphs ? How do small presses read stuff now?

Can you tell it's been a while?

Been busy, have I.

Tonight for the @wibookfestival.bsky.social , I chatted with @samanthashannon.bsky.social, author of the Bone Season series at the @madisonlibrary.bsky.social . The room was full of people who braved the cold and wind to hear our fabulous conversation!

I have an inspirational quote generator on my Notion todo page, and this quote popped up from Marcus Aurelius's Meditations, and suddenly I'm like, "wait what who are you WHO ARE YOU HOW COME I NEVER PAID ATTENTION TO YOU IN MY COLLEGE PHILOSOPHY CLASS?!?!"

Reception time!

So I was able to score free jewelry from @samhainpress.bsky.social They made the jewelry for me. I wanted something battle armory, so they created a sword necklace with skulls.

So may I present: BOOBA SWORD!

The Nebula Conference starts this week! I’ll be attending virtually, and I’ll be on the “Time Management for Harried Writers” panel THIS FRIDAY, June 7, 4:30pm PST (6:30pm CST). Come learn how to manage writing with deadlines, multiple projects, emergencies, and life in general without going nuts.

The face I made two seconds after I submitted a new, unsolicited story to a magazine, the first time I've done so since...holy cow...2016...

I've forgotten just how nerve-wracking this is.
