One of my resolutions for 2025 is to send 1,000 letters to subscribers here, on Substack, or on the pod. Want a handmade art-missive-doc thing in your mailbox/hand? Send your mailing address in a DM and it'll be out the door Jan 1.

Periodically when my dog does something petulant and very human/toddlerish I'm reminded that he is naked.

Joining Bluesky with something to sell: My debut novel, turns out, is gonna be an indie -- CUBAFRUIT is available for preorder! Thread TK about how it landed with a great agent, went through 6 months of editing, a year of submission, got avid responses and ended up not selling! a.co/d/1t0TFjg
