#Pluribus is about a USian white woman whose rage and grief causes mass global death and destruction. The harder she fights to try and return the world back to the way it was, despite the fact that no one wants that, the more isolated she becomes.
An apt metaphor for the US right now.

I used to live in a tiny 300 sq studio apt with limited counter space for small appliances but now I have a full kitchen so as I was making toast in the oven this morning I thought, it's time, I'm buying a toaster oven.

I don't make money from whole sale distribution so I eat the cost so that my books can be more widely available especially to libraries and indie bookstores. But the Ingram price increase has motivated me to explore other distributers.

Many years ago, I was feeling stressed by the state of the world and I started a Holiday Fairies thing where people sent me their wishlists and I publicized them to try to get everyone gifts for the holidays.

I saw Wicked: For Good and I feel like this one might be better than the first. I'm sad that I won't get to see another Wicked movie next Thanksgiving.

Thanksgiving is problematic. Giving thanks is not. As someone who wants to remember the attempted genocide of indigenous people but also likes a reminder to practice gratitude, I like to use Indigenous People's Month to support (and be grateful for) indigenous creators. A partial list! /1

Why would you ruin a classic? Also, Baby Boom works because it was made in the 80's when being a single working mom and CEO was not something we saw a lot of. Now it's the norm.

There is a book club organization out there emailing authors telling them the club will feature their work for a "modest fee" for "branded materials" etc. Do not fall for this nonsense. You should never, as a writer, have to pay for such things.

I'm doing this new life changing thing where I'm learning to socialize without masking and this week I have shocked people, pissed off other people, and made my therapist laugh. Turns out the real me is both a delight, shit stirrer, and a chaos goblin.

Why does everything feel hard this morning? Oh, because I had a big event on Saturday morning and another on Sunday evening and I usually have 1-2 low/no demand day to recovery/prevent burnout and I didn't get that this weekend. 😩
