Picked this up on while browsing on my trip, and it's extremely good, and weirdly soothing. Here's how we got here. Here's how it all happened before. How we're doing it all again. How the world ticks on. Nothing more soothing to me these days than the wheel of time (except maybe a good murder show)

There's a hole on the underside that you stick the blunt end of a pencil thru to pop it up

He provides a free pencil with every purchase 😆

Spent week in the woods working through plot of latest book. Had to work beat by beat to recomplicate it. I like it much more now. Also,characters are delightfully more fucked up now. Highly recommend book Screenwriting is Rewriting. Always helps uncover deeper structural problems, how to solve them

Spouse's new custom board game table has arrived! It's very fancy and means we FINALLY have a table that actually fits this space. To save on exorbitant shipping costs, he did drive down to Georgia to pick it up, but tells me it was worth it 😆. Ordered from here: www.tables4games.com

I will somehow be able to decipher this in the morning in order to transcribe it into the #wip, but I can't tell you exactly how 😆

I've written a short story every month for about 10 years, and it made me very good at the repetitive form of beginning/middle/end. Endings are easy for me because the key to the ending is always in the beginning. Here's easy hack from a workshop talk I gave awhile back:

The Spanish version is also so beautiful! Some wonderful illustrations by Juan Alberto Hernandez

Convincing you to read my novel by the first sentence. Share yours if you want.

(Here's the opening of "God's War". Still my most iconic)

Clarion West was clearing out archives and offered scanned copies of materials of mine. This is application letter I wrote when I was 19.

It is dry as old boots.

No wonder I was waitlisted twice 😆

Clarion truism: the best writers at Clarion aren't always the ones who build writing careers after

Unnecessary roughness. With the sound on, the true seriousness of the conflict is extremely clear.

Sprocket sounds like a hippo 😆

That color value thing is a fucking trip. From close up this painting just looks like a blotchy mess. Incredible

Up next: more cliff work. From above, landscapes are just patches of color. But even knowing that, intellectually, it's a real trip to try and get yourself to splotch it in that way. One thing I love about painting is how it forces me to see the world differently.
