Today is one of those days where I can tell I have used up most of my juice for the week and I am going to have a hard time producing more things. Please tell me something entertaining to combat my malaise.

Made it to the new part of this book that I wrote, so now we get to transcribe for a while instead of revising line by line. Huzzah!

I missed how authors get their works listed here - is it only SFWA members?

Someone told me that a peer spoke very highly of me professionally at work recently and I felt honest-to-goodness surprise, which just goes to demonstrate how significant my imposter syndrome is in all aspects of my life.

Reading, and writing, are holy. I love reading novels because they tell me something. They say: "this is what someone believed enough to dedicate months or years of their life to say." This is just as true for the trashiest pulp as it is for the highest literature.

I suspect not being able to complain about politics is a hampering factor for my social media reach. 😆 Disadvantages of not having published under a closed pen name, I guess.

There are many things I experience in a day that I cannot share on social media, which is good! But it does at times make me wonder how to engage here.

Our subscription drive is still going and is now 70 new subscribers short of its goal. We had hoped to reach that in time for our 20th anniversary issue in October so we could give everyone their raises as part of that celebration. It's going to be close. clarkesworldmagazine.com/subscribe/

Every coping mechanism for staying organized and on-track that I have collapsed in August and I've spent September picking up the pieces. Who knew that having three major life events in the space of two weeks might affect my ability to brain?

A sadde thinge that we have to worke arounde alwayes ys that the quiet, steadye, patient labor and kyndenesse required to holde up the worlde and keepe us all goinge ys nevir a newes item. Unshowye, ordinarye, hard-won skill at the job you must do for othirs to get on. The greatest honor ys ther.

"Beneath the trees the temperature drops. Aisling is left shivering, her boots swishing through the dewy grass. She barely feels either. Now that she is here, lead fills her limbs. She wants to turn around. She’s good at doing the things she doesn’t want to do. Always has been." #writinglunch

I've been up since 6 am. My most productive brain time is in the three hours after waking. It is 9:45. I am out of juice. The workday has just begun. Moms with kids in school, how do you function?

Remember that if you got the Moderna Covid vaccine, you have Dolly Parton to thank, she gave the largest individual contribution toward their research to make it possible.

Yes, indeed, I am doing events this fall. All details more accessible on my website at amandajmcgee.com/upcoming-eve....

A list of event locations, online or around Roanoke, VA.

Book cover for A RIVER WIDE, and a blurb for same from C.S.E. Cooney: "...floods the senses with river water and witchcraft."

Subfloor would be like concrete, plywood, unfinished surfaces not designed for traffic I would think.

Yeah sounds like the subfloor is there but the actual tile, carpet, whatever is something the renter pays to put in...which...wild.

If there's a thing I hate more than cleaning up admin tasks that other people have left disorganized I don't know what it is. I am not a person who enjoys tedious administrative stuff (people do exist who do!) and yet I apply myself to try my best. It offends me to clean up after someone worse.
