Hey writers, editors, & anyone who uses Google workspace because there’s no other viable alternative - in addition to turning off Smart features, make sure you toggle off this new mess of nonsense hidden in the Admin settings.

Speaking of writers still using their own words & who put in the work of researching and revising and being brilliant, my favorite person @byseanferrell.bsky.social sold his excellent historical horror novel, IN THE FIELDS WE THIRST & I am beyond happy for him! 🧛🏻🖤🧛🏻

Everything is a lot, but at least I finally went to the new Brooklyn horror bookstore, Twisted Spine & got these beauties. 🖤

Very happy to see ‘TWAS THE NIGHT in the deal sheet this week! I was lucky enough to work on this book & it is an absolute blast. Excited for you all to add it to your Xmas lists next year! (The author isn’t on Bluesky yet but don’t hold that against him.)

I refuse to call this “rawdogging” for a lot of reasons, but mainly because Puddying is already my go-to term.
