But I really wish I could paint one again.
If anyone ever wanted to commission a cute kintsugi from me, let me know.

I'm an artist to avoid ...an artist with a mortgage.
I'd like you who know me to imagine how reading this made me feel.
And if you support this...person...I'm blocking you faster than you can say "Rumpelstiltskin".

Seeing how I live in the state closest to Venezuela, in a city that's an emergency military fall back zone in the case of a foreign attack, could we not. I like not having my city bombed or occupied by a sudden insurgence of US troops, fortifying the damn place.

if not paying your writers is part of how you “set yourself up to publish for years to come” then you’re not set up correctly

Did you read my post from last week about how contract woes caused me to withdraw an accepted story from F&SF, ending my 54-year quest to be published in that magazine? But wait (as the saying goes) — there's more! Scroll down at the link for an update. www.scottedelman.com/wordpress/20...

agreeing to make a terrible deal while your main opponent is quite literally being boo'd on live tv by an entire stadium of people is the kind of political instinct you'd normally only find in a 3 week old dead goldfish

Dismissing and minimizing the process, in any art, is partially what has led to widespread acceptance of AI generated art and writing.
When your focus is on the result, you are not partaking in art. You are a bystander.

Sometimes I wonder if our many years of jokes about writers hating writing and doing anything but writing, etc, have convinced people that the writing part is the hurdle and the goal is just to have a thing in hand. But I am here to tell you: the writing is the best part. The act is the thing.

Today in unbelievable cuteness:
I sternly told a toddler to stop trying to open their sippy cup.
She walked over, gently grabbed my hand, looked me soulfully in the eyes, and whispered, "I am SO sorry."
Then she started drinking nicely.

TFW you lost your cake carrier 7 years ago, and just today, saw a video of a cake your sister made, and there it is!
You can even see the scratch from that time your husband dropped a chef's knife on it.

Compliments from girls always hits better.
When a woman compliments another woman, she knows exactly what she's looking at and how much work went into it.
Not, "hey, you're beautiful! DM me back! Why are you ignoring me? ...wyd? Where are you beautiful? Fine! you're fat anyways!!"
