I wasn’t born in the year of the rooster, but I had a childhood filled with them—which is why I took this photo of a cute cluckster at Gyeonbokgung. If only the rooster who attacked me each day when I tried to collect eggs as a child was as gentle looking as this one! #authorsEye #artistsEye

Getting so many of book promo offers now. As @clarkeaward.bsky.social says, these are getting VERY custom-tailored, so beware. Also "literary" clubs saying they'd like to feature me or my books but then (if I write back for info) it turns out they want me to pay them for the exposure.

Currently teaching a creative writing camp with theme of SHIPWRECK. I asked my students to imagine what their characters pack before embarking on their ill-fated voyages. One of my students decided to base their character on me. Note item “i”: 3 jars of hair gel! But, fyi, I would pack WAY more.

We had a lot of fun making messages in bottles in Day 4 of my SHIPWRECK creative writing camp! The students really took the weathering to heart, even tea-staining the messages inside. I will take more photos tomorrow—most of the projects are still in progress.
