Having read and reviewed a stellar debut novel by a fellow UoW creative writing alum, I am giving myself permission to read some tradpub for a bit -- sometimes an indie just sets the bar that high and you're not ready to be let down again.

Asimov first, "The Ninth" series by Muir after that. :)

Ahh, gooood, my little marketing minion, basking adorably in your box atop the dryer where you have made a mess of your supper, you have earned three delicious treats today.

You almost lost that second one.

Yes, yes; keep it secret.
this is something i feel deep in my gut. you should grow an art project like you grow shiitakes -- in the dark, wet, unventilated recesses of your own mind.

My daughter has been making little books, including The Adventures of Esther’s Cats, Why Cats Meow, and an untitled one about a dog, a cat, some snails, and a monster with 40 heads. When I told her that I liked them, she said that she would bury one with me in my grave!

Using the word "clean" in book marketing is far from the worst thing ever, it's just something I personally dislike. What do you think?

A shy store clerk. A plain Jane. A near-hermit. An unlikeable jerk. An ambitious perfectionist. Their common link? A new pill that promises lucid dreams, but delivers scary side effects. The line between dream and reality blurs as they discover its origin. #BluePit📖 #Q #SF

I can't write an ampersand for the life of me

Yes, it's easy. No, I will not stop drawing an 8 with a fancy sash

It's the prettiest 8 in the world and it just won a pageant. Show some respect
