Well, I’ve woken up four hours early. Tried to sleep. Kept thinking about my book. Gonna go get two extra hours at the desk now, turning my six-hour writing day into an eight. #amwriting #writingcommunity #writerslife #books #writers

I had to leave the writing desk for a meeting at my job. I’m not too disappointed because I managed to pen out my revisions and am full of fire for the next scene. #writers #authors #books

It feels weird seeing how few steps I’ve got left before I’m ready to send the book manuscript to my beta readers. Maybe i should break down each step into it’s constituent parts just so I quit feeling so accomplished. 😅 #books #writing #author

The Mess That Made Them by Ryan T. Pizza is a themed biography of important personages in art, music, and letters. It’s also about how to make your own art despite the messiness of life. This is an amazing book for anyone interested in the lives of creatives or who is a creative themselves. #art

Tomorrow’s my kids 1st school day, so I begin writing full-time again. It’s been a long break for me—full-time dad. I’ve still tried to write 15-20 hours a week, but if I tracked I’m sure I’d frequently fall short. Now I get to be a dad who’s living the dream; I feel like I’m doing it for her & me.

Apparently the final stage of publishing your first book is answering emails, checking lists, worrying about empty chairs, and being absolutely certain you've forgotten something important. Anyway, publication is Thursday. The last prepublication Life on the Midlist: mailchi.mp/d444d26bfb56...

I’ve finally found some really great humanities lectures on Spotify beyond the Entitled Opinions conversations I’ve exhausted twice over. It’s scratching that same intellectual itch which made me take double the required English literature courses during those now distant college days.

RIP, my mischievously sweet and generous brother

$Press D @EquusPress I.M. RICK HARSCH We are heartbroken to learn of the death of Rick Harsch, & bid farewell to a magnificent writer, a fearless publisher, & one of the warmest, brightest, most generous people we have had the privilege to know. Through Corona\Samizdat, Rick conducted his tireless literary operations from Izola, Slovenia. From that unlikely hub he unleashed on the unsuspecting world some unruly, uncompromising, & criminally overlooked writing with an enthusiasm entirely his own. His solidarity with fellow independent presses was equally uncompromising. In his wonderfully digressive YouTube videos, he devoted time & attention to several Equus books, discussing them with the wit & infectious passion that made him such a rare reader & advocate for a common cause. In October 2024, he joined us in Prague for the Prague Microfestival, bringing with him that unmistakable mixture of erudition, mischief, outrage & immense human warmth. We were enormously fortunate to visit Rick in Izola last February, to see the place from which Corona\Samizdat carried out its improbable & essential work, & to enjoy his company, conversation, & boundless hospitality. Rick was one of the great independents: a writer and publisher who understood literature not as a career structure or marketplace, but as a form of selfless friendship & stubborn collective life. His loss leaves the small-press community immeasurably poorer, and all of us who knew him bereft. Our love and deepest condolences go out to his family, friends, writers, readers, & the entire Corona\Samizdat community. The mission continues, as it must. But without Rick, it will be a lonelier one. Ave atque vale.$

Sad book news: The masthead of my last publisher passed away. Rick Harsch was a center of my book community. Corona\Samizdar Books has been on hiatus since his stroke and convalescence, but is now officially no more. The press will be missed, but it’s the man we miss the most. … Rock on, Rick. 💚

I’m disappointed. 😔 My wife let slip that the #SuperBowl is tomorrow. I prefer to find out the day of or at some point after it’s happened. 🏈 It’s a game of extended ignorance I play every year without knowing I’m playing it until I lose (find out in advance) or win (find out the day of or later).
