As it happens, that’s how I got through my graduate degree in literature.

I love Wil’s interpretation of your other books, but Tavia Gilbert has really nailed The Shattering Peace and all the different alien voices (both with and without consciousness, moment to moment).

Huh. My kid says this all the time, but they sometimes coin unusual phrases and I thought this was one of them (some mutation of “look it up”). Intrigued to know that this is in widespread use too.

Ben, you have the chance to do something really funny with this this morning …

It was great to be in Ardmore to celebrate the opening of their new SEPTA station. Ardmore is one of the busiest stops on the Paoli line, and I am proud to be a strong supporter of SEPTA's ongoing efforts to modernize its rail network and make every station ADA accessible!

If that doesn’t encapsulate Gen X at this precise moment, I don’t know what does.

Even if they are, so what? I find that properly treated mental health challenges empower people to set boundaries that really all of us should be setting.

I tried to go there just now and it says “survey closed.” Did it close early?

A friend who works in cybersecurity has an entire presentation on how AI is a tool not for productivity but for surveillance. Once you see it, you can’t unsee it.

I fell for this utterly because what even is satire anymore.

Tomorrow night in Philly! I'll join a panel at the American Philosophical Society to discuss developmental editing: what it is, when it happens in a manuscript workflow, how to find an editor or a client, and advice for writers and editors. Looking forward to it!

He’s not old enough for it yet, but once he’s 5 or so definitely start him on the Junie B. Jones series (Junie is in K when the series starts). My neurospicy kid and I are pretty sure Junie is spicy also, but above all she’s freaking hilarious.

Challenge: Post your last photo taken in DC to show what a hell-hole it is.

A group of World War II veterans in their 90s poses in front of the World War II memorial in Washington DC. A fountain sprays water in the background. In the distant background in the Lincoln Memorial. The weather is gorgeous.

Same, I would have been all over a new Andy Weir.

The last 5 on the list are real, but the rest are not. Regardless, as a freelancer myself, I would have loved this assignment and written it myself. "I didn't know it would appear in the Chicago Sun-Times" is a pretty poor excuse.

Jeanette Fast Redmond @fastediting.biz · 20/05/2025

The last 5 books appear to be real ("Dandelion Wine" is of course a Bradbury novel), but the rest are an acid trip.

Ew, I don't like it without the hyphen. I always read it wrong as "core searcher." (As a corollary, I read "coworker" as "cow orker.")

I got into TJ Klune thanks to a friend who went to that panel at ECCC and now I'm devouring every book by Klune. So rare to have a book make me laugh and weep in the same chapter.

It's been a few years since I lived in the Beltway media market, but defense contractor ads on news/traffic/weather radio station WTOP used to mention the "warfighter" all the time. As an editor, I noticed and wondered also.

My kid also gets Social Security survivor benefits from my late husband, who worked in IT and paid into SS from his teen years. The payment makes up for his lost income in helping us stay in our house and keep a roof over my kid's head. Jeanine is willfully malicious here.

We need MSM to start covering this, including the numbers on the YT feeds. What @booker.senate.gov is doing, along with other senators, is so important.

040

Jeanette Fast Redmond @fastediting.biz · 01/04/2025

And now other senators are standing to ask questions (that don't require him to yield the floor) to give him a break. I just called @fetterman.senate.gov to ask him to join them. Call your senators and ask them to join Cory Booker!

031

Jeanette Fast Redmond @fastediting.biz · 01/04/2025

Y'all, Cory Booker is doing an old-school, Mr.-Smith filibuster on the Senate floor (14 hours and counting) to amplify the crisis in America right now. It's magnificent. We need more of our elected officials to do something like this. www.youtube.com/live...

DEI: Gospel imperative or radical leftwing agenda? What does the Bible really say about diversity, equity and inclusion? While political leaders label DEI a "radical leftist agenda," Jesus' ministry tells a different story. So why do some Christians reject it, asks Emery J. Cummins?

I once queried an author for the page number of the source they were citing for a quotation. "It's in there somewhere" was the response.

My husband missed one night, ONE, of his D&D group. They rolled for him and managed to kill him off ... so then they rezzed just his head, put it in a jar, and carried it around for the rest of the campaign in a little cart for like a year after that. D&D is so fun.

Except the recipe blog had like 5 pages of narrative first and no “skip to recipe” button and Musk didn’t have that kind of time.

What could possibly be unhinged about Parks & Rec? One of the great shows. I saw your skeet and thought, “Yes, I should do this also.”

OK well now we need to know which book it is, Ben.
