If the idea of America was not radical, it would not be under attack.
This Fourth of July I am prouder than ever to stand for a nation where we celebrate our neighbors regardless of religion, race, creed or background. America is not just an idea: it is an idea worth fighting for.

From Writing Without Teachers. I believe strongly that this applies to code as well.
![A book with words that include: “To improve your writing [and here writing is crossed out & “coding” is written above in purple letters] you don’t need advice about what changes to make; you don’t need theories about what is good and bad writing. You need movies of people’s minds while they read your words.”](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:377tbuslu7h4ocyrwzuyc6s7/bafkreieswcqjxsremdp5agvyvmqbqyxr46ppf5mvgsiyba3otvb66iz2yy@jpeg)

It has been brought to my attention that I don’t tweet enough about my art.
I kinda assume that landscapes are like vacation photos: they are mostly interesting to me because I was there. But if you are curious, this is what I’ve been up to lately.

It used to work because publishers created an artificially-limited market: authors were desperate to be one of the 24k new books published each year, but when they did they were the only options readers had.

For my latest attempt instead of getting into the weeds I just tried to convince people it is possible for reviews to be a delightful experience, and if they aren't it is worth taking a look at how to make them better.
