This auction (opens soon) is full of cool things, but I want to highlight this AMA with @mikechenwriter.bsky.social. Not only is Mike a great writer and kind person, but he also has a rich, varied background in publishing. Talking to someone like Mike would have been so valuable for early career me.

Writers! Note that AI translation (under the guise of "global access") is being seen/used as the weak point to get AI into publishing (possible bc Eng lang publishing is weak on translation). Stand with translators & for more human translation, fairly paid!

An author trashing bibliophiles is like a priest hating on the faithful. Any reader, reading any book at all, is a star. If they're reading my books, yay! If they're reading books I don't much like, yay! If they're reading books that I don't understand, also yay! Reading is redemption.

A toddler babbling on the seat in front of me in the bus, trying to have an entire conversation with her father made of gobbledygook at her end and alternating excited, ‘Oh I see,” and sympathetic, “I know it’s hard’ at his was the end-of-the-day tonic I didn’t know I needed.

From my window I can see hundreds of white butterflies fluttering among the trees lining the road. It looks like unseasonal snow in tropical #Singapore, both eerie and magical at the same time. Meanwhile, those stuck in the traffic jam beneath this transient mini-spectacle don’t have a clue.

I just passed a sign that says “DRIVE WITH CAKE,” and my inner grammar editor isn’t itching to correct it. I’ll drive with cake, yes ma’m. If I weren’t already late for my appointment would have got the car turned around for a pic. Or even a selfie. Let’s drive with cake (or pie), ok? Ok.
