Cats when I’m procrastinating- Gone. Vanished. Stalking the spaces between the worlds. Cats when I’m trying to write- Hello! Time now to flop across your hands! Or face! Oh, who are we kidding, both!

It appears that this legend owns a little bookstore — and you can order books from him instead of Bezos. Link in next post.

Walking home from the coffee shop and someone tried to give me a free spider plant. Yeah, I know how this works. First ones free. Then before you know it you’re repotting succulents in back alleys

Radical publishing notion, right here: if your publishers are making a living from publishing and selling your books, then you, the author, should be making a living from writing them.

Taking a quick break from the book I’m doing to crank out a short story with a tight word count. The shift from writing expansively to every-word-must-be-justified is a little jarring

Got rid of my Twitter account. Haven’t really used it in months but I want nothing to do with it now. That site has become another example of how at some point the most wealthy usually decide their power is best maintained by tearing things down rather than building them up.
