The week leading up to Thanksgiving consists of manic cleaning and crushing anxiety over whether the turkey will thaw in time. 🦃

Still my favorite time of year! 😅

This is kinda a win win for everyone- you get great fiction, Neil gets to keep his health insurance.
In light of the astronomical increases for my health insurance next year, I thought it would be a good time to encourage people to subscribe. (A few hundred should cover it. Sigh.)

It’s strange how some people think being kind means being polite and deferential. I’ve seen kindness that can shatter bone, that will melt a face, that has brought grown men sobbing to their knees.

I’d like to see more of that. That would be nice.

Thanks for coming, Tammy.

We used to do this nearly monthly in Lahore, Pakistan, and now plan to continue regular literary salons/baithaks in the Orlando area.
Went to an amazing music salon last night! Great food, great music, great people!

For the bajillionth time:

Write WTF you want to write. If you want to get to “publishable” that is an additional layer of craft from “look, I made this.” This is true whatever genre you are writing in.

Sales are largely out of your control. Craft & hitting deadlines are all you control.

Notwithstanding a sense of unworthiness which possesses me, not without reason, notwithstanding that I regard myself as a good deal of a scamp, yet for the most part the spirit of the universe is unaccountably kind to me, and I enjoy perhaps an unusual share of happiness.

Craziness!

J. Edgar Hoover’s FBI surveillance of Ernest Hemingway could have contributed to his suicide.

Hoover took an interest after Hem. tried to start an anti-fascist spy ring in WWII. That along with his Cuban ties led to the FBI following him for years & taping his phone.
