Thanks, it's been a fun event. Got another full day today, so here goes 😅.
For sure, I'll catch ya around at some point!

I'm bummed I couldn't visit. I was tabling at another event in town. Hope you enjoyed Lincoln!

Gah, I feel that. The busy calendar knows no bounds. We will definitely cross paths one of these days!

I'm bummed! I was setting up for Nerd Fest this weekend, so I had to miss this, and I'll be missing the NE Celebration of Books.

Hope y'all have a great weekend. Hooray books!

Brother, I have been struggling for months. I'm with you, and all I can say is what @alexwoodroe.com keeps telling me: rest, remember why you love writing/publishing so you stay for the longhaul. Glad you're on the verge of a breakthrough! Hang in there 🖤🤘

Aw, I was just about to get the bullhorn.

Hope the show is cathartic. Sorry to hear.

A lifetime of gratitude to you 💚

Truly. I love how quickly places go from, "people don't read anymore!" and "we're on our phones too much" to "Look at these fake fucks 'reading' in public."
