seems like a good time for the only self-published author to win a nebula award to shake the career wish tree again and see if anything falls out. in addition to the below wishes, i wouldn't mind an agent, and being a GOH would be rad af ✨

Fellow authors, I love you, and I know it feels like we don’t have a choice, but B&N and Am*zon both scheduled sales this week to preempt Independent Bookstore Day, a hugely vital source of income for indie bookstores. Please don’t promote their sales; please promote your local indie this week.
