Mr M’s work is having a party and the magician just said: “There’s two ways to do this trick, with applause and the way we’re doing it now.” 💀

I hope everyone who railed against having to prove they had a COVID vaccine to go to public events during a global pandemic because they “shouldn’t have to show documents” is just as furious about what ICE is doing right now.

And I won’t really know how SILVER & BLOOD is doing until a year from now, even though the book comes out in three months.

The book comes out in three months.

Huh. Hadn’t done that math in a while.

Oof, HarperCollins has seemingly changed their royalty statement format, and it sure is something.

Also, poor ECLIPSE and CAPTURE are probably just not going to earn out at this point, and ECLIPSE THE MOON was one of my favorite books to write. 😭

There are so many around here, but one of the subtler ones is Burnet.

It’s BURN-it, not bur-NET.

What’s the word where you’re from that, when pronounced exactly as it looks, identifies a tourist immediately?

Mr M brought home a loaf of sourdough from his trip to San Francisco, so today’s snack is extra delicious.

This is your (*my) reminder that if you’ve been sitting at your desk like a hunched over gremlin for a while, now might be a good time to stop and move around a bit.

Plus, if you move, you can go get a snack! Win win. :)

I don’t LOVE writing them, but for me they’re easier in a lot of ways than a blurb, since I’m just recapping the story and not trying to be (as) catchy and concise.

I would still rather do almost anything else, though, lol.

I’m actually pretty good at writing pitch blurbs! Anything is possible, whee!

But then the book fills in and the details change and I have to redo the blurb to match what I’ve written and ugh.

Writing a blurb for a book I haven’t written? Easy, cake, no problem!

Actually writing that book? Doable, but often difficult.

Writing a blurb for a book I *have* written? Terrible, impossible, what are words, even?
